Summary
DYNC2I1 (dynein 2 intermediate chain 1, HGNC:21862) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 7q36.3, encoding Cytoplasmic dynein 2 intermediate chain 1 (Q8WVS4). Acts as one of several non-catalytic accessory components of the cytoplasmic dynein 2 complex (dynein-2 complex), a motor protein complex that drives the movement of cargos along microtubules within cilia and flagella in concert with the intraflagellar transport (IFT) system.
This gene encodes a member of the WD repeat protein family. WD repeats are minimally conserved regions of approximately 40 amino acids typically bracketed by gly-his and trp-asp (GH-WD) and may facilitate the formation of heterotrimeric or multiprotein complexes. Members of this family are involved in a variety of cellular processes including cell cycle progression, signal transduction, apoptosis, and gene regulation. The encoded protein contains four WD repeats and may play a role in the formation of cilia. Mutations in this gene have been associated with short-rib polydactyly and Jeune syndromes.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 5)
- These findings show that WDR60 mutations can cause skeletal ciliopathies and suggest a role for WDR60 in ciliogenesis. (PMID:23910462)
- exome analysis allowed to identify mutations not previously reported in the DYNC2H1 (MIM 603297) and WDR60 (MIM 615462) genes, both codifying for ciliary intraflagellar transport components whose mutations are known to cause Jeune syndrome (PMID:26874042)
- Our finding broadens the spectrum of WDR60-related phenotypes and shows the utility of broad multigene panels during the genetic work-up of patients with ciliopathies. (PMID:29271569)
- WDR60 plays a major role and TCTEX1D2 plays an auxiliary role in the dynein-2 complex to mediate retrograde ciliary protein trafficking. (PMID:29742051)
- loss of function of dynein-2 WDR34 and WDR60 subunits leads to defects in transition zone architecture, as well as intraflagellar transport. (PMID:30320547)

Function. Acts as one of several non-catalytic accessory components of the cytoplasmic dynein 2 complex (dynein-2 complex), a motor protein complex that drives the movement of cargos along microtubules within cilia and flagella in concert with the intraflagellar transport (IFT) system. DYNC2I1 plays a major role in retrograde ciliary protein trafficking in cilia and flagella. Also requires to maintain a functional transition zone.
Subunit / interactions. Intermediate chain of the cytoplasmic dynein complex 2, a multisubunit complex, composed at least of eleven different proteins. The cytoplasmic dynein 2 complex consists of two catalytic heavy chains (HCs) and a number of non-catalytic subunits presented by intermediate chains (ICs), light intermediate chains (LICs) and light chains (LCs). Among them, a heavy chain (DYNC2H1), two intermediate chains (DYNC2I2 and DYNC2I1), a light intermediate chain (DYNC2LI1), and a light chain (DYNLT2B) are unique to the cytoplasmic dynein complex 2, but a subset of the light chains are also shared by dynein-1 and dynein-2 complexes. Interacts with DYNC2I2; their C-terminal domains each bind a copy of the heavy chain, and their extended N-terminal regions are held together by an array of light chain dimers. Interacts with DYNLT2B. Interacts (via the N-terminal half) with DYNLT2B-DYNLT1 dimer or with DYNLT2B-DYNLT3 dimer; this interaction is crucial for retrograde trafficking of ciliary proteins.

Disease relevance. Short-rib thoracic dysplasia 8 with or without polydactyly (SRTD8) [MIM:615503] A form of short-rib thoracic dysplasia, a group of autosomal recessive ciliopathies that are characterized by a constricted thoracic cage, short ribs, shortened tubular bones, and a ’trident’ appearance of the acetabular roof. Polydactyly is variably present. Non-skeletal involvement can include cleft lip/palate as well as anomalies of major organs such as the brain, eye, heart, kidneys, liver, pancreas, intestines, and genitalia. Some forms of the disease are lethal in the neonatal period due to respiratory insufficiency secondary to a severely restricted thoracic cage, whereas others are compatible with life. Disease spectrum encompasses Ellis-van Creveld syndrome, asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy (Jeune syndrome), Mainzer-Saldino syndrome, and short rib-polydactyly syndrome. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Fibroblasts from affected individuals exhibit a defect in ciliogenesis and aberrant accumulation of the GLI2 transcription factor at the centrosome or basal body in the absence of an obvious axoneme.
Similarity. Belongs to the dynein light intermediate chain family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 71 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.
