@Ella_Maru @Carter_Lab @zwetza @fe_aali Full dynein activation requires binding to both dynactin and a cargo adapter such as HOOK3. A folded cargo adapter would not be able to fit into this tripartite complex as the C-terminal half of FHF would clash with dynein. Other factors such as Lis1 also facilitate activation.
