CC -!- FUNCTION: Cytoskeletal linker that plays a central role in the
CC flagellum cell motility. Required for directional cell motility. Plays
CC a role as part of a dynein regulatory system that regulates flagellar
CC beat in response to signals from the central pair apparatus and radial
CC spokes in procyclic cells. Also plays an essential role in the
CC bloodstream form of the trypanosomes as its silencing is lethal for the
CC circulating form. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11864997,
CC ECO:0000269|PubMed:16607017, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17009870}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cell
CC projection, cilium, flagellum. Note=Associated with the cytoskeleton.
CC Localized to the site of attachment of the flagellum to the
CC subpellicular cytoskeleton. Also localized in the flagellum of the
CC bloodstream form trypanosomes.
CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: Procyclic parasite mutants lacking trypanin exhibit a
CC motility defect indicative of abnormal dynein regulation, but have an
CC actively beating flagellum and are able to spin and tumble in place.
CC However, bloodstream form mutants lacking trypanin exhibit a severe
CC growth defect and are not viable. They revealed a failure of
CC cytokinesis.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the DRC4 family. {ECO:0000305}.
