Axonemal dynein is an ATP-dependent microtubular motor protein responsible for cilia and flagella beating, and its dysfunction can cause diseases such as primary ciliary dyskinesia and sperm dysmotility. Despite its biological importance, structure-based mechanisms underlying axonemal dynein motors remain unclear. Here, we determined the X-ray crystal structure of the human inner-arm dynein-d (DNAH1) stalk region, which contains a long antiparallel coiled-coil and a microtubule-binding domain (MTBD), at 2.7 Å resolution. Notably, differences in the relative orientation of the coiled-coil and MTBD in comparison with other dyneins, as well as the diverse orientations of the MTBD flap region among various isoforms, lead us to propose a 'spike shoe model' with an altered stepping angle for the interaction between IAD-d and microtubules. Based on these findings, we discuss isoform-specific functions of the axonemal dynein stalk MTBDs.
