DYNC1LI2 regulates localization of the chaperone-mediated autophagy receptor LAMP2A and improves cellular homeostasis in cystinosis.
Title: DYNC1LI2 regulates localization of the chaperone-mediated autophagy receptor LAMP2A and improves cellular homeostasis in cystinosis.
Transgelin-2 and phosphoregulation of the LIC2 subunit of dynein govern mitotic spindle orientation.
Title: Transgelin-2 and phosphoregulation of the LIC2 subunit of dynein govern mitotic spindle orientation.
Cortically localized dynein, essential for maintaining correct spindle orientation, consists majorly of LIC2-dynein, which interacts with cortical 14-3-3 epsilon- zeta and Par3, conserved proteins required for orienting the spindle.
Title: The Light Intermediate Chain 2 Subpopulation of Dynein Regulates Mitotic Spindle Orientation.
This study uncovers a novel functional hierarchy during mitotic checkpoint inactivation between the closely related but homologous LIC subunits of cytoplasmic dynein.
Title: Dynein Light Intermediate Chain 2 Facilitates the Metaphase to Anaphase Transition by Inactivating the Spindle Assembly Checkpoint.
These results suggest that cytoplasmic dynein 1 binds to BRCA2 through the latter's centrosomal localization signal and BRCA2 mediates the cohesion between centrosomes during the S phase, potentially serving as a cell-cycle checkpoint.
Title: BRCA2 mediates centrosome cohesion via an interaction with cytoplasmic dynein.
although dynein lacking light intermediate chains (LICs) drives microtubule gliding at normal rates, the LICs are required for the formation and maintenance of a bipolar spindle.
Title: Dynein light intermediate chains maintain spindle bipolarity by functioning in centriole cohesion.
using a variety of complementary approaches, our results indicate a novel specific role for the LICs in dynein recruitment to components of the late endocytic pathway.
Title: Recruitment of dynein to late endosomes and lysosomes through light intermediate chains.
FIP3 was identified as the first membrane-associated interacting-partner for DLIC-2.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
