AXONEMAL INNER ARM DYNEIN HEAVY CHAINS -
Dynein heavy chains are minus end-directed microtubule motor proteins. Axonemal dynein complexes interact with adjacent microtubules in the axoneme. Coordinated binding and release of the axonemal dyneins slide the microtubules relative to each other causing the axoneme to bend driving ciliary and flagellar motion. Axonemal inner arm dynein heavy chains are the microtubule-binding motor protein of the dynein inner arm. (Adapted from FBrf0230280).
Phenotypic Description (Red Book; Lindsley and Zimm 1992)
kl-2
Males deficient or mutant for kl-2 are sterile; primary ultrastructural lesion not identified. Such sterile males lack a 300-325 kilodalton sperm polypeptide thought to be a structural component of the axoneme (Goldstein, Hardy, and Lindsley, 1982, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 79: 7404-09; Hardy, Lindsley, Livak, Lewis, Sivertsen, Joslyn, Edwards, and Bonaccorsi, 1984, Genetics 107: 591-610).

Model Confidence:
  • Very high (pLDDT > 90)
  • Confident (90 > pLDDT > 70)
  • Low (70 > pLDDT > 50)
  • Very low (pLDDT < 50)

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

Testis-specificity index

The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data by Vedelek et al., 2018 to indicate the degree of testis enrichment compared to other tissues. Scores range from -2.52 (underrepresented) to 5.2 (very high testis bias).

              Males deficient or mutant for kl-2 are sterile; primary ultrastructural lesion not identified. Such sterile males lack a 300-325 kilodalton sperm polypeptide thought to be a structural component of the axoneme (Goldstein, Hardy and Lindsley, 1982; Hardy, Lindsley, Livak, Lewis, Sivertsen, Joslyn, Edwards and Bonaccorsi, 1984).
