Also known as RBP50DCTN-50
Summary
DCTN2 (dynactin subunit 2, HGNC:2712) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12q13.3, encoding Dynactin subunit 2 (Q13561). Part of the dynactin complex that activates the molecular motor dynein for ultra-processive transport along microtubules. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 93.0% of cancer cell lines).
This gene encodes a 50-kD subunit of dynactin, a macromolecular complex consisting of 10-11 subunits ranging in size from 22 to 150 kD. Dynactin binds to both microtubules and cytoplasmic dynein. It is involved in a diverse array of cellular functions, including ER-to-Golgi transport, the centripetal movement of lysosomes and endosomes, spindle formation, chromosome movement, nuclear positioning, and axonogenesis. This subunit is present in 4-5 copies per dynactin molecule. It contains three short alpha-helical coiled-coil domains that may mediate association with self or other dynactin subunits. It may interact directly with the largest subunit (p150) of dynactin and may affix p150 in place. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function. Part of the dynactin complex that activates the molecular motor dynein for ultra-processive transport along microtubules. In the dynactin soulder domain, binds the ACTR1A filament and acts as a molecular ruler to determine the length. Modulates cytoplasmic dynein binding to an organelle, and plays a role in prometaphase chromosome alignment and spindle organization during mitosis. Involved in anchoring microtubules to centrosomes. May play a role in synapse formation during brain development.
Subunit / interactions. Subunit of dynactin, a multiprotein complex part of a tripartite complex with dynein and a adapter, such as BICDL1, BICD2 or HOOK3. The dynactin complex is built around ACTR1A/ACTB filament and consists of an actin-related filament composed of a shoulder domain, a pointed end and a barbed end. Its length is defined by its flexible shoulder domain. The soulder is composed of 2 DCTN1 subunits, 4 DCTN2 and 2 DCTN3. The 4 DCNT2 (via N-terminus) bind the ACTR1A filament and act as molecular rulers to determine the length. The pointed end is important for binding dynein-dynactin cargo adapters and consists of 4 subunits: ACTR10, DCNT4, DCTN5 and DCTN6. The barbed end is composed of a CAPZA1:CAPZB heterodimers, which binds ACTR1A/ACTB filament and dynactin and stabilizes dynactin. Interacts with BICD2 and CEP135. Interacts with DYNAP. Interacts with ECPAS. Interacts with MAPRE1.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Microtubule organizing center. Centrosome. Membrane.
Similarity. Belongs to the dynactin subunit 2 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 127 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
