| | awd | Nucleoside diphosphate kinase; Abnormal wing discs (awd) encodes a nucleotide diphosphate kinase that regulates with the product of shi the endocytosis of different surface proteins (e.g. those encoded by N, btl, Pvr, and shg). During development, it regulates morphogenesis of trachea, follicular epithelium, and imaginal discs and contributes to neurotransmission and border cell migration; Belongs to the NDK family. (168 aa) |
| | ric8a | Synembryn; Guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF), which can activate some, but not all, G-alpha proteins independently of G-protein coupled receptors. Acts by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP. Plays a key role in asymmetric spindle positioning, a step for asymmetric cell division that generates cell diversity during development by activating G(i) alpha protein independently of G-protein coupled receptors. In addition to its GEF activity, it plays an essential role in cortical subcellular localization of heterotrimeric G proteins, suggesting it acts as a facilitator of G-alpha funct [...] (573 aa) |
| | rin | Rasputin, isoform B; Rasputin (rin) encodes an RNA-binding protein that regulates gene expression. It is involved in eye development and the dorsal/ventral axis specification of the ovary. (690 aa) |
| | Rab6 | Ras-related protein Rab6; Protein transport. Regulator of membrane traffic from the Golgi apparatus towards the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Mediates membrane trafficking during egg chamber growth and organization, possibly upstream of exocyst component Sec5. Also during oogenesis, plays a role, together with BicD but independently of Sec5, in the polarization of the oocyte microtubule cytoskeleton, in the localization of oskar mRNA and in the anterodorsal secretion of grk. Required for anterograde opsin transport through the ER-Golgi complex. Plays a role, together with Rich, in regula [...] (208 aa) |
| | cno | Canoe, isoform E; Canoe (cno) encodes a scaffold protein in adherens junctions that is involved in morphogenesis in a variety of tissues. (2051 aa) |
| | pre-lola-G | Longitudinals lacking protein, isoform G; Putative transcription factor required for axon growth and guidance in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Repels CNS axons away from the midline by promoting the expression of the midline repellent sli and its receptor robo. (436 aa) |
| | Apc2 | Adenomatous polyposis coli 2 (Apc2) encodes one of two Drosophila APC family proteins. It is a key negative regulator of Wingless signaling, as a critical component of the destruction complex that phosphorylates beta-catenin and thus targets it for ubiquitination and proteasomal destruction. It is the primary APC family member during embryonic development, and functions redundantly with the product of Apc in adult development. (1067 aa) |
| | nmo | Mitogen-activated protein kinase; Nemo (nmo) encodes an atypical proline-directed serine/threonine kinase with roles in numerous developmental processes, including ommatidial rotation/planar cell polarity, retinal specification and neuronal function, and circadian clock speed. It regulates the activity of several signal transduction pathways, including BMP, Wnt, and Notch, and is implicated in fly models of neurodegenerative diseases; Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Ser/Thr protein kinase family. MAP kinase subfamily. (439 aa) |
| | ctp | Dynein light chain 1, cytoplasmic; Cut up (ctp) encodes the 8 kDa (LC8/DLC1) subunit of the cytoplasmic Dynein, as well as the Myosin V. It homodimerizes and binds to a variety of proteins. It is involved in both dynein-dependent and independent functions such as cell viability, axonal guidance, spermatid growth and individualization, and regulation of spermatogonial divisions; Belongs to the dynein light chain family. (267 aa) |
