Text of Personal Communication 
The authors propose that FlyBase adopts the following systematic nomenclature for D. melanogaster genes encoding the major, specific subunits of the Dynactin complex.  This nomenclature uses a consistent 'DCTN' prefix, and refers both to the symbols of the mammalian orthologs and usage in the Drosophila literature.
Gl / Glued -> DCTN1-p150
CG12042 -> DCTN4-p62
Dmn / Dynamitin -> DCTN2-p50
l(2)37Ce / lethal (2) 37Ce -> DCTN6-p27
dyn-p25 / dynactin-subunit-p25 -> DCTN5-p25
l(2)06496 / lethal (2) 06496 -> DCTN3-p24
