Dynamin-related protein DNM1; Dynamin-related GTPase involved in mitochondrial organization; required for mitochondrial fission and inheritance; self assembles on the cytoplasmic face of mitochondrial tubules at sites where division will occur; participates in endocytosis and regulates peroxisome fission along with Vps1p; mutants in the human ortholog DNM1L, which mediates mitochondrial fission, peroxisomal division, autophagy, and mitophagy, are associated with slowly progressive infantile encephalopathy.

Magnesium transporter ALR1; Plasma membrane Mg(2+) transporter; expression and turnover are regulated by Mg(2+) concentration; overexpression confers increased tolerance to Al(3+) and Ga(3+) ions; magnesium transport defect of the null mutant is functionally complemented by either of the human genes MAGT1 and TUSC3 that are not orthologous to ALR1; Belongs to the CorA metal ion transporter (MIT) (TC 1.A.35) family.

Karyogamy protein KAR9; Spindle positioning factor; orients astral microtubules, connecting them to actin cables at the cortex with Bim1p and Myo2, resulting in proper spindle positioning; targeted for StuBL-dependent degradation at kinetochores by Slx5p-Slx8p, ensuring chromosome transmission fidelity and correct spindle positioning; role in karyogamy; localizes to the shmoo tip, the growing bud-tip, the nucleus, the kinetochore, the spindle and microtubules; homolog of adenomatous polyposis coli.

Cytoplasmic heavy chain dynein; microtubule motor protein; member of the AAA+ protein family, required for anaphase spindle elongation; involved in spindle assembly, chromosome movement, and spindle orientation during cell division, targeted to microtubule tips by Pac1p; motility along microtubules inhibited by She1p.

Mitochondrial protein; required for normal mitochondrial morphology and inheritance; component of the mitochondria-ER-cortex-ancor (MECA); interacts with Num1p to link the ER and mitochondria at the cell cortex; proposed involvement in the formation of Dnm1p and Num1p-containing cortical anchor complexes that promote mitochondrial fission.

Nuclear distribution protein PAC1; Involved in nuclear migration, part of the dynein/dynactin pathway; targets dynein to microtubule tips, which is necessary for sliding of microtubules along bud cortex; serves at interface between dynein's ATPase site and its microtubule binding stalk, causing individual dynein motors to remain attached to microtubules for long periods; synthetic lethal with bni1; homolog of human LIS1, mutations in which cause the severe brain disorder lissencephaly.

WD repeat-containing protein PAC11; Dynein intermediate chain, microtubule motor protein; required for intracellular transport and cell division; acts in cytoplasmic dynein pathway; forms complex with dynein light chain Dyn2p that promotes Dyn1p homodimerization and potentiates motor processivity; Dyn2p-Pac11p complex is also important for interaction of dynein motor complex with dynactin complex; forms cortical cytoplasmic microtubule capture site with Num1p; essential in the absence of CIN8.

Protein BIM1; Microtubule plus end-tracking protein; together with Kar9p makes up the cortical microtubule capture site and delays the exit from mitosis when the spindle is oriented abnormally; homolog of human end binding protein 1 (EB1); Belongs to the MAPRE family.
