Proposed model of DNAAF1 function in an RT2P-like complex and the IFT-B ciliary transport complex: Unfolded dynein arm components (brown) are folded via the action of DNAAF1 within an ODA pre-assembly module consisting of the AAA+ ATPases RUVBL1 and RUVBL2 (tan), RT2P-like complex proteins (grey) such as DNAAF1, DNAAF2/KTU, and other chaperone proteins (blue) such as SUGT1 and HSP90. In addition to dynein arm assembly through an RT2P-like complex, DNAAF1 also associates with the IFT-B complex (pink; represented by IFT88) allowing dynein arm assembly to be coupled to ciliary transport. RUVBL1 may also have a separate, direct gene regulatory role on asymmetrically expressed genes such as Nodal.
