Dynein light chain 1, cytoplasmic

UniProtKB accession:  Q22799

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Acts as a non-catalytic accessory component of a dynein complex (By similarity). Part of a complex with bicd-1 and egal-1, which is recruited to the nuclear envelope by unc-83, where in turn, it recruits dynein to the nuclear surface and regulates nuclear migrations in hypodermal precursor cells (PubMed:20005871). Probably within a dynein motor complex, plays a role in the cell fate specification of the germline and oogenesis (PubMed:19752194, PubMed:27864381). In particular, it inhibits germ cell proliferation (PubMed:19752194). Regulates the function and localization of the RNA-binding protein fbf-2 in the germline (PubMed:27864381). Plays a role in mitotic and meiotic processes (PubMed:19752194, PubMed:26483555). Involved in the pairing of homologous chromosomes (PubMed:26483555). Independently of its dynein-mediated functions, plays a role in germ cell apoptosis (PubMed:24030151).
