SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES

Belongs to the dynein light chain family.

TISSUE SPECIFICITY

Ubiquitous.

POST-TRANSLATIONAL MODIFICATION

Phosphorylation at Ser-88 appears to control the dimer-monomer transition. According to PubMed:15193260, it is phosphorylated at Ser-88 by PAK1, however, according to PubMed:18650427, the DYNLL1 dimer is not accessible for PAK1 and the phosphorylation could not be demonstrated in vitro.

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION

Mitochondrion, Nucleus, centrosome, cytoskeleton.

FUNCTION

Dyneins are multisubunit, high molecular weight ATPases that interact with microtubules to generate force by converting the chemical energy of ATP into the mechanical energy of movement. Cytoplasmic or axonemal Dynein heavy, intermediate, light and light-intermediate chains are all components of minus end-directed motors; the complex transports cellular cargos towards the central region of the cell. The highly conserved DYNLL proteins were originally identified as light chains for microtubule-based motor protein Dynein. In mammals there are two closely related isoforms expressed, DYNLL1 and DYNLL2 which share 93% sequence identity at the protein level. DYNLL1 (Dynein light chain 1) also designated, DLC8 or PIN (Protein inhibitor of neuronal nitric oxide synthase) has been identified as a protein that interacts with NOS1 resulting in NOS1 inhibition. Dimerization is required for NOS1 activity and DYNLL1 has been shown to destabilize the NOS1 dimer. Nitric oxide may be involved in several processes such as apoptosis, synaptogenesis and neuronal development; thus DYNLL1 is implicated in these processes as well. DYNLL1 is a ubiquitously expressed protein that exhibits high expression in testis and moderate expression in brain.
