Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) binds misfolded proteins destined to form aggresomes and subsequently delivers this to dynein motor proteins. HDAC6 can also bind to microtubules thereby anchoring the misfolded proteins and the dynein motor to the microtubule (Hubbert C et al. 2002). Following this, the dynein motors traverse the microtubule to reach the microtubule-organizing center (MTOC).
