“…Due to its size, complexity, and dependence on a host of accessory proteins, deciphering the mechanism of dynein has been more challenging than similar efforts investigating the cytoskeletal motors in the kinesin and myosin families. Cytoskeletal motors, however, often work in ensembles in order to accomplish intracellular cargo transport tasks [see, for example, (Welte, 2004;Rai et al, 2013;Rai et al, 2016)], yet the biophysical foundations of cargo transport by motor ensembles remain largely unknown (McLaughlin et al, 2016).
