Automatically generated summary

See sections below for more information
The gene Abl tyrosine kinase is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\Abl (CG4032, FBgn0000017). It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: protein tyrosine kinase activity; protein binding. There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: negative regulation of synaptic growth at neuromuscular junction; regulation of cell shape; central nervous system development; peptidyl-tyrosine phosphorylation; ventral furrow formation; dorsal closure; regulation of protein stability; cytoplasmic transport, nurse cell to oocyte; axon guidance; regulation of protein localization. 46 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: organ system subdivision; multi-cell-component structure; commissure; external compound sense organ; presumptive embryonic/larval nervous system; peripheral nervous system; nervous system; extended germ band embryo; synaptic neuropil subdomain; embryonic/larval neuron; female germline cyst; antennal segment; late extended germ band embryo. It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides. Protein features are: F-actin binding; Protein kinase, ATP binding site; Protein kinase, catalytic domain; Protein kinase-like domain; SH2 motif; Serine-threonine/tyrosine-protein kinase; Src homology-3 domain; Tyrosine-protein kinase, active site; Tyrosine-protein kinase, catalytic domain. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of low expression. Peak expression observed at stages throughout embryogenesis, at stages throughout the pupal period, in adult female stages. Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: Little or no expression detected in any larval or adult organs/tissues. Comments on Affy2 ProbeSet: ProbeSet 1640419_at completely aligns to an exonic region common to each of the 2 FlyBase-annotated transcript isoforms of Abl. Gene sequence location is 3L:16615461..16641674.

Abl: Cellular abl oncogene sequence
Considered to be the Drosophila sequence homologous to mammalian c-abl based both on its origin and amino acid sequence as inferred from its nucleotide sequence. ABL protein detected at the time of germ-band shortening in the axons of the central nervous system in a bilateral symmetrical series of points that correspond to the positions of neuromeres; later, protein appears in the axons growing across the midline, but not in the cell bodies of the CNS nor in the PNS. As development proceeds, staining of the longitudinal fascicles and to a lesser extent the commissural fascicles becomes intense; staining also seen in association with axonal outgrowth of neural cells in the eye imaginal disk (Bennett and Hoffmann). Recessive alleles in combination with Df(3L)st-j7 = Df(3L)73A1-2;73B1-2 either die as late pupae or pharate adults with complete cuticle and roughened eyes, Abll1, or as short lived (5-6 days), rough-eyed adults, Abll2 and Abll3. Surviving females lay few eggs, some of which develop into adults; surviving males have motile sperm, but do not mate and produce no progeny. The rough eye is a reflection of some loss of photoreceptor cells plus ommatidial fusion. In combination with a deficiency extending further to the left, e.g., Df(3L)std11 = Df(3L)73A11-B1;73D1-2 to include the locus of Dab, Abll/Abl- genotypes die as late embryos or early first-instar larvae with disrupted axonal organization in the ventral nerve cord (Henkemeyer, Gertler, Goodman, and Hoffmann, Cell 51: 821-28). CNS of doubly deficient embryos, i.e., Abl- Dab-, fails to form commissures and is defective in axonal outgrowth, although the PNS develops normally.

Comments
ena protein is a substrate for Abl tyrosine kinase.
Studies of mutated Abl proteins reveal that sequences in the carboxy terminus mediate axonal localization. Disruption of proper subcellular localization correlates with lack of Abl biological function. A novel kinase-independent function of the Abl protein has been identified.

The N/Abl interaction may promote the turning of ISNb axons by attenuating Abl-dependant adhesion of ISNb axons to their substratum, thus releasing the axons to respond to attraction from target muscles.
RNAi screen using dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene causes a phenotype when assayed in S2R+ cells: cells become retracted (unspread but flat). Kc167 cells are unaffected.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene is tested in an RNAi screen for effects on actin-based lamella formation.
Abl antagonizes robo signalling in the central nervous system.
trio and Abl cooperate in regulating axon outgrowth in the embryonic central nervous system.
Abl functions in the intersegmental nerve b motor choice point pathway as an antagonist of Lar.
ena protein is directly phosphorylated by Abl protein.
The Dab and Abl gene products may play a role in N signalling in axons, perhaps by binding to the N intracellular domain.
Identification: Enhancer trap expression pattern survey for loci expressed in the ring gland.
Severe defects in CNS axonogenesis are seen in double mutants with mfas.
Phylogenetic analysis of the PTK family.
l(2)gl encodes a cytoskeletal protein that is required in aspects of Abl-dependent axonogenesis.
A critical function of Abl is to phosphorylate and negatively regulate ena protein during neural development.
fax encodes a novel protein that is not necessary for viability in an otherwise wild type genetic background. A requirement for fax is observed upon reduction or loss of Abl or Nrt.
Abl gene product may play a role in establishing and maintaining cell-cell interactions.
Abl mutants show phenotypes in somatic muscles and eye imaginal disks.
Abl shows a non-additive phenotype in combination with Fas1TE89Da. Fas1 plays an important role in growth cone guidance, as seen in an Abl mutant background.
In vitro modified Abl constructs are used to investigate the Abl function in axonal localization. Fusion proteins with analogous regions of the human, murine or viral abl genes were expressed and tested for their ability to provide function for Abl mutants that would normally die as pupae.
Drosophila Abl and murine v-abl chimeric protein was constructed to assess functional conservation. Results imply that the transforming function of Abl tyrosine protein kinases are only partially conserved through evolution.
Structural and biochemical evidence suggest the gene encodes a protein tyrosine kinase.
The Abl gene product participates in the process of forming and/or maintaining axonal connections in the nervous system.
The transcription pattern of Abl was analyzed in neuroblasts derived from tumorous larval brain of l(2)gl larvae and S2 tissue culture cells. Abl expresses constitutive as well as maternal/embryonic-specific transcripts.
The Abl gene promoter has been isolated and sequenced.
The highest level of transcript hybridization for Abl, Btk29A and Src64B was found during embryogenesis and metamorphosis, suggesting that the transcripts are of maternal origin. Adult females carry three to four times the amount of transcript males do, the major site of expression in the females is the ovary.
Considered to be the Drosophila sequence homologous to mammalian c-abl based both on its origin and amino acid sequence as inferred from its nucleotide sequence. ABL protein detected at the time of germ-band shortening in the axons of the central nervous system in a bilateral symmetrical series of points that correspond to the positions of neuromeres; later, protein appears in the axons growing across the midline, but not in the cell bodies of the CNS nor in the PNS. As development proceeds, staining of the longitudinal fascicles and to a lesser extent the commissural fascicles becomes intense; staining also seen in association with axonal outgrowth of neural cells in the eye imaginal disk (Bennett and Hoffmann). Recessive alleles in combination with Df(3L)st-j7 either die as late pupae or pharate adults with complete cuticle and roughened eyes, Abll1, or as short lived (5-6 days), rough-eyed adults, Abll2 and Abll3. Surviving females lay few eggs, some of which develop into adults; surviving males have motile sperm, but do not mate and produce no progeny. The rough eye is a reflection of some loss of photoreceptor cells plus ommatidial fusion. In combination with a deficiency extending further to the left, e.g., In(3L)std11 to include the locus of Dab, Abll1/Abl- genotypes die as late embryos or early first-instar larvae with disrupted axonal organization in the ventral nerve cord (Henkemeyer, Gertler, Goodman and Hoffmann, 1987). CNS of doubly deficient embryos, i.e., Abl- Dab-, fails to form commissures and is defective in axonal outgrowth, although the PNS develops normally.
