  • FUNCTION Part of the dynactin complex that activates the molecular motor dynein for ultra-processive transport along microtubules.SUBUNIT Subunit of dynactin, a multiprotein complex part of a tripartite complex with dynein and a adapter, such as BICDL1, BICD2 or HOOK3. The dynactin complex is built around ACTR1A/ACTB filament and consists of an actin-related filament composed of a shoulder domain, a pointed end and a barbed end. Its length is defined by its flexible shoulder domain. The soulder is composed of 2 DCTN1 subunits, 4 DCTN2 and 2 DCTN3. The 4 DCNT2 (via N-terminus) bind the ACTR1A filament and act as molecular rulers to determine the length. The pointed end is important for binding dynein-dynactin cargo adapters. Consists of 4 subunits: ACTR10, DCNT4, DCTN5 and DCTN6. The barbed end is composed of a CAPZA1:CAPZB heterodimers, which binds ACTR1A/ACTB filament and dynactin and stabilizes dynactin (By similarity). Interacts with ATP7B, but not ATP7A, in a copper-dependent manner (PubMed:16554302). Interacts with ANK2; this interaction is required for localization at costameres (By similarity). Interacts with N4BP2L1 (By similarity).INTERACTION Has a punctate cytoplasmic distribution as well as centrosomal distribution typical of dynactin (PubMed:10671518). Overexpression in cultured mammalian cells revealed colocalization with cortical actin, stress fibers, and focal adhesion sites, sites of potential interaction between microtubules and the cell cortex (By similarity). In skeletal muscles, costamere localization requires the presence of ANK2 (By similarity).ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS Belongs to the dynactin subunit 4 family.
