ID:DLRB1_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Dynein light chain roadblock-type 1; AltName: Full=Bithoraxoid-like protein; Short=BLP; AltName: Full=Dynein light chain 2A, cytoplasmic; AltName: Full=Dynein-associated protein Km23; AltName: Full=Roadblock domain-containing protein 1; FUNCTION: Acts as one of several non-catalytic accessory components of the cytoplasmic dynein 1 complex that are thought to be involved in linking dynein to cargos and to adapter proteins that regulate dynein function. Cytoplasmic dynein 1 acts as a motor for the intracellular retrograde motility of vesicles and organelles along microtubules. SUBUNIT: Homodimer. The cytoplasmic dynein 1 complex consists of two catalytic heavy chains (HCs) and a number of non-catalytic subunits presented by intermediate chains (ICs), light intermediate chains (LICs) and light chains (LCs); the composition seems to vary in respect to the IC, LIC and LC composition. The heavy chain homodimer serves as a scaffold for the probable homodimeric assembly of the respective non-catalytic subunits. The ICs and LICs bind directly to the HC dimer and the LCs assemble on the IC dimer. Self-associates. Interacts with DYNLRB2. Interacts with DYNC1I1 and DYNC1I2. Interacts with RAB6A isoform 1 (GTP- bound); the interaction is direct. Interacts with RAB6A isoform 2 (GDP-bound); the interaction is direct. Interacts with RAB6B (GDP- bound). INTERACTION: O54918-2:Bcl2l11 (xeno); NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-372128, EBI-526080; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: High expression in heart, liver, brain and pancreas; moderate in placenta, skeletal muscle and kidney; low in lung, prostate, testis, small intestine and colon. Isoform 1 expression is up-regulated in 64% hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the GAMAD family.
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.
