Phenotypic Description (Red Book; Lindsley and Zimm 1992)

Ama: Amalgam

Antibody staining first detects Amalgam in the mesoderm during gastrulation; as neuroblasts delaminate from the ectoderm staining appears in a row of mesectodermal cells along the ventral midline of the extended germ band. Amalgam appears in the first neurons generated from the ganglion-mother cells, but not in the neuroblast precursors of these cells. Neuronal accumulation of Ama gene product increases during CNS development, but appears to be confined to the CNS and initially does not extend to axons exiting the CNS in segmental, intersegmental, or peripheral nerves; with time three rows of PNS-associated cells accumulate Ama protein; staining heavy around spiracle sensory organ and several cephalic sensory structures. Simultaneously there is a complicated temporal and spatial sequence of staining of mesodermal derivatives. Embryonic phenotype of deletion of Ama attributable to simultaneous deletion of zen; no effect of Ama- detectable.

Additional Descriptive Data

Ama protein is secreted.

(Fremion et al., 2000)

Ama protein is first detected in stage 8 embryos in the mesoderm. It begins to accumulate in the midline at late stage 9/early stage 10 and is found in a subset of the mesectodermal cells. At stage 10, Ama protein is observed on cells of the aminoserosa, especially along the border with the dorsal epidermis. Neuronal accumulation is first observed in stage 10, and by stage 13, Ama protein is observed on all of the cell bodies and axons of the CNS. However, no staining of axons is seen after they exit the CNS. Ama protein continues to accumulate in mesodermal derivatives. It is found in the visceral mesoderm in stage 13 and in the fat body and dorsal vessel in stage 16. Ama protein accumulation is observed in a subset of PNS cells starting in stage 13 including the spiracular sensory organ. During stage 16, Ama protein also accumulates on several cephalic sensory structures including the dorsal and terminal organs, the epiphysis and the hypophysis.

Please Note FlyBase no longer curates genomic clone accessions so this list may not be complete

cDNA Clones (41)

Please Note This section lists cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent of the gene model, which may include cDNAs and ESTs of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes. Please see GBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs to the gene model.

Additional comments

Other Comments

In a sample of 79 genes with multiple introns, 33 showed significant heterogeneity in G+C content among introns of the same gene and significant positive correspondence between the intron and the third codon position G+C content within genes. These results are consistent with selection adding against preferred codons at the start of genes.

Nrt is hypothesized to require Ama as its ligand.

The homologs of Antp, ftz, Scr, Dfd, Ama, bcd, zen, pb and lab, but not zen2 are all present in D.pseudoobscura.pseudoobscura, in the same linear order and similarly spaced along the chromosome as in D.melanogaster.
