Background:  Dynactin is a multisubunit complex and a required cofactor for most, or all, of the cellular processes powered by the microtubule-based motor cytoplasmic dynein. Dynactin contains a short actin-related protein 1 (Arp1) filament with capZ at the barbed end and p62 at the pointed end. The p62 subunit is an integral component of 20 S dynactin with a highly conserved cysteine-rich motif that interacts directly with Arp1. DCTN4 has a punctate cytoplasmic distribution as well as centrosomal distribution typical of dynactin. In addition, DCTN4 is distributed in the nucleus at very high expression levels. Due to the structural composition of dynactin, the p62 subunit is implicated in Arp1 pointed-end binding and in linking dynein and dynactin to the cortical cytoskeleton.
