Research by Takashi Ishikawa
Our main focus is structural biology of eukaryotic flagella/cilia using electron cryo tomography and microscopy (cryo-EM). Cryo-EM provides images of biological macromolecules and organelles in intact hydrated states. Computational image analysis enables three-dimensional reconstruction. For highly symmetrical objects (2D crystal of membrane proteins, tubular crystals) atomic resolution could be reached. For non-crystalline macromolecules and macromolecular complexes, single particle analysis will be applied. In electron cryo-tomography images are acquired multiple times from an ice-embedded specimen tilted continuously in the microscope and merged into a 3D structure. This is a suitable method to analyze macromolecules forming complex and dynamic molecular networks in vivo.
We apply these methods to reveal the mechanism of flagellar/ciliary bending motion. In flagella/cilia, which consist of ~300 proteins, nine microtubule doublets are linked by dynein motor proteins. We are analyzing molecular arrangement of dynein and other proteins by electron tomography and refine high resolution structures by single particle analysis, developing methodologies.

Eukaryotic flagella/cilia are bending organelles which drive cells forward or backward, or generate extracellular flows. They exist in sperms, tracheae (respiratory cilia), brain, embryo (nodal cilia) and many other organs. Therefore defects of flagella/cilia cause diseases (ciliopathy). Flagella/cilia are attractive in the view point of nanomachine development.
Flagella and cilia from various species and organisms share the “9+2” axonemal structure, in which nine microtubule doublets surround two singlet microtubules. Adjacent microtubule doublets slide past each other by ATP-driven power stroke of dynein motor proteins. Our research focuses the mechanism of force generation of dynein and the mechanism to integrate dynein power strokes into well-orchestrated bending motion of flagella/cilia. We employed technique of electron cryo-tomography (fig. 1) and 3D image analysis to answer these questions.
3D molecular architecture of outer and inner dynein arms from Chlamydomonas flagella
We extracted 96nm periodic fragments (subtomograms) from tomograms of flagella (fig. 1), aligned and averaged them three-dimensionally (fig. 2). The obtained 3D structure describes the molecular conformation and arrangement of dyneins and other molecules on the microtubule doublets. In the inner dynein arm (which determines the wave form) eight dyneins form a longitudinal array, while the outer arm (responsible for force generation and acceleration) consists of three dyneins stacking vertically. At ~35Å resolution, our averaged tomograms revealed 3D conformation of dynein (which consists of an AAA-ring (ring-shaped ATPase domain), a coiled-coil stalk and an N-terminal tail) in situ. N-terminal tails extend from AAA-rings toward the distal end (= plus end of the microtubule). By combining 3D structures of mutants which lack various dynein isoforms, we identified them in our 3D map (fig. 2).

Structural basis of dynein power stroke and flagellar/ciliary bending
Averaged tomograms of flagella in the presence and in the absence of nucleotides showed the conformational change of dyneins. In the presence of ADP.Vi (Vi: vanadate), which is non-hydrolysable ATP analogue and mimics the pre-power stroke state, the AAA-ring of dynein stays at the proximal (minus end of the microtubule) and the N-terminal tail gradually curves toward the microtubule. However, in the apo state (corresponding to the post-power stroke state), the ATPase head moves toward the distal (plus) end and the N-terminal tail sharply kinks toward the microtubule. This indicates the translational shift of dynein (not rotation), pulls the adjacent microtubule toward the distal end (fig. 3).
Fig.3 Conformational change of dynein induced by nucleotides
The model of power stroke
In the flagella in the presence of ADP.Vi, this conformational change occurs at about half of dyneins, while the other dyneins stay at the apo conformation, indicating cooperativity among dyneins prohibits other dyneins to change their conformations. Interestingly these two conformations do not appear randomly, but form cluster (fig. 4). This phenomenon provides one hypothesis of flagellar/ciliary bending: torsion is generated at interface between two clusters.

Asymmetry of dynein arrangement in Chlamydomonas flagella – mechanism of planar asymmetric bending
We found that the arrangement of inner arm dyneins is not perfectly symmetrical among nine microtubule doublets of the Chlamydomonas flagellum. Two microtubule doublets, which are apposed between two flagella of one Chlamydomonas cell, lacks a few inner arm dyneins (fig. 5), which will results in asymmetric force generation between the internal and external sides of flagellar bending. Our tomographic studies identified linkers which connect only doublets on the bending plane, suggesting the mechanism to limit the flagellar motion planar.
