Summary: Enables several functions, including disordered domain specific binding activity; dynein intermediate chain binding activity; and dynein light intermediate chain binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cytoskeleton organization; germ cell development; and positive regulation of neuron remodeling. Located in centriole and cytoplasm. Part of RNA polymerase II transcription repressor complex and cytoplasmic dynein complex. Is active in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including cuboidal/columnar epithelium; embryonic/larval midgut primordium; ganglia; germline cell; and head epidermis primordium. Orthologous to several human genes including DYNLL2 (dynein light chain LC8-type 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Genetic and biochemical analyses reveals that the Drosophila homolog of the LC8 dynein light chains (mammalian DYNLL1 and DYNLL2), called Cut up, binds proteasomes and functions specifically during their transport. These data support the model that Cut up functions to specify the dynein-mediated transport of neuronal proteasomes.
