Description: Homo sapiens dynactin 3 (p22) (DCTN3), transcript variant 1, mRNA. RefSeq Summary (NM_007234): This gene encodes the smallest subunit of dynactin, a macromolecular complex consisting of 10 subunits ranging in size from 22 to 150 kD. Dynactin binds to both microtubules and cytoplasmic dynein. It is involved in a diverse array of cellular functions, including ER-to-Golgi transport, the centripetal movement of lysosomes and endosomes, spindle formation, cytokinesis, chromosome movement, nuclear positioning, and axonogenesis. This subunit, like most other dynactin subunits, exists only as a part of the dynactin complex. It is primarily an alpha-helical protein with very little coiled coil, and binds directly to the largest subunit (p150) of dynactin. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

ID:DCTN3_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Dynactin subunit 3; AltName: Full=Dynactin complex subunit 22 kDa subunit; Short=p22; FUNCTION: Together with dynein may be involved in spindle assembly and cytokinesis. SUBUNIT: Subunit of dynactin, a multiprotein complex associated with dynein. INTERACTION: P40425:PBX2; NbExp=1; IntAct=EBI-347442, EBI-348489; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, centrosome. Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle. Cleavage furrow. Midbody. Note=Localizes to punctate cytoplasmic structures and to the centrosome during interphase, and to kinetochores and to spindle poles throughout mitosis. Colocalizes with dynein to the cleavage furrow and to midbody of dividing cells. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Ubiquitously expressed. Highly expressed in muscle and pancreas and detected at lower levels in brain. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the dynactin subunit 3 family. SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=CAI13144.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Sequence=CAI14178.1; Type=Erroneous gene model prediction; Sequence=CAI14180.1; Type=Erroneous initiation;
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
