Cytoplasmic dynein is a microtubule-associated motor molecule involved in the retrograde transport of membrane-bound organelles. To determine whether the supranuclear melanin cap of transferred, phagocytosed melanosomes in keratinocytes is associated with cytoplasmic dynein, we performed immunofluorescent confocal microscopy on human keratinocytes in situ. We identified the intermediate chain of cytoplasmic dynein by immunoblotting and examined its distribution by confocal microscopy in relation to microtubules and melano-phagolysosomes in vitro.
