We examined the functional roles of C-sequence, a 47-kDa non-AAA+ module at the C-terminal end of the 380-kDa Dictyostelium dynein motor domain. When the distal segment of the C-sequence was deleted from the motor domain, the single-molecule processivity of the dimerized motor domain was selectively impaired without its ensemble motile ability and ATPase activity being severely affected. When the hinge-like sequence between the distal and proximal C-sequence segments was made more or less flexible, the dimeric motor showed lower or higher processivity, respectively. These results suggest a potential function of the distal C-sequence segment as a modulator of processivity.
