Protein LDB18; Component of the dynactin complex; dynactin is required for dynein activity; null mutant exhibits defects in nuclear migration and spindle orientation and has reduced affinity for alcian blue dye; has homology to mammalian dynactin subunit p24.

Protein NIP100; Large subunit of the dynactin complex; dynactin is involved in partitioning the mitotic spindle between mother and daughter cells; putative ortholog of mammalian p150(glued).

Actin-like protein ARP10; Component of the dynactin complex; localized to the pointed end of the Arp1p filament; may regulate membrane association of the complex; Belongs to the actin family. ARP10 subfamily.

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.

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 required for nuclear migration; component of the mitochondria-ER-cortex-ancor (MECA); required for the association of mitochondria with the cell cortex and for accurate distribution of mitochondrial network; interacts with Mdm36p to link the ER and mitochondria at the cortex; localizes to the mother cell cortex and the bud tip; may mediate interactions of dynein and cytoplasmic microtubules with the cell cortex.

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.

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.

Putative protein of unknown function; subunit of evolutionarily conserved EMC (Endoplasmic Reticulum Membrane Complex) implicated in ERAD (ER-associated degradation) and proper assembly of multi-pass transmembrane (TM) proteins; EMC acts in yeast as an ER-mitochondria tether that interacts with outer membrane protein Tom5p of TOM (Translocase of the Mitochondrial Outer Membrane) complex; YDR056C is not an essential protein.
