Facts about Dynactin subunit 1.
Critical for targeting dynein to microtubule plus ends, recruitment dynein to membranous cargos and enhancing dynein processivity (the ability to move along a microtubule for a long distance without falling off the trail ). Can also act as a brake to slow the dynein motor during motility along the microtubule (PubMed:25185702).

Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle. Nucleus envelope. Cytoplasm, cell cortex. Localizes to microtubule plus ends (PubMed:17828277, PubMed:22777741, PubMed:25774020). Localizes preferentially to the ends of tyrosinated microtubules (PubMed:26972003). Localization at centrosome is regulated by SLK-dependent phosphorylation (PubMed:23985322). Localizes to centrosome in a PARKDA-dependent manner (PubMed:20719959). Local
