Gene Summary
Dynein intermediate chain at 61B (Dic61B) encodes an axonemal dynein intermediate chain protein expressed specifically in male germ cells. It is required for the development and precise assembly of sperm axonemes, thus it is essential for male fertility. [Date last reviewed: 2019-03-07] (FlyBase Gene Snapshot)

Gene Group (FlyBase)
AXONEMAL INNER ARM DYNEIN INTERMEDIATE CHAINS -
Dyneins are minus end-directed microtubule motor protein complexes. 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 dynein intermediate chains are subunits of axonemal dynein complexes that mediate movement of the axoneme. Axonemal inner arm dynein intermediate chains are subunits of inner arm axonemal dynein. (Adapted from PMID:24064538).

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).
