See sections below for more information
The gene Distal-less is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\Dll (CG3629, FBgn0000157). It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. It is reported to have molecular function: sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity. There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: negative regulation of gene expression; antennal development; proboscis development; imaginal disc-derived leg morphogenesis; specification of organ identity; imaginal disc-derived wing margin morphogenesis; determination of ventral identity. 37 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: organ system subdivision; adult segment; antennal segment; appendage segment; external compound sense organ; compound cell cluster organ; adult mesothoracic segment; metatarsus; cephalopharyngeal skeleton; female genitalia; peripheral nervous system. It has 3 annotated transcripts and 3 annotated polypeptides. Protein features are: Helix-turn-helix motif, lambda-like repressor; Homeobox; Homeobox, conserved site; Homeobox, eukaryotic; Homeodomain-like; Homeodomain-related. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderate expression to a trough of very low expression. Peak expression observed within 00-18 hour embryonic stages, during late larval stages, at stages throughout the pupal period. Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: Little or no expression detected in any larval or adult organs/tissues. Gene sequence location is 2R:20702353..20722686.

Gene/Allele symbols may differ from current usage
Ba: Brista
Null alleles are recessive embryonic lethals, with dominant developmental defects of distal appendages. Lethal embryos lack certain sensilla, including Keilin's organs, and antennal, maxillary, labial, and labral sense organs, all of which are thought to correspond to vestiges of the distal sensilla of rudimentary larval appendages. No other embryonic sensilla are affected, nor are the neurons innervating the rudementary apppendages detectably abnormal. In homozygous-viable or pharate-adult-lethal hypomorphic alleles defects are found in all appendages represented by the above larval structures. Heterozygotes for lethal alleles are characterized by transformations of distal antennal segments (i.e., AII, AIII, and arista) to mesothoracic leg and by variable loss of distal leg segments, depending on severity of allele. Transformation in the case of Ba1 sensitive to low-temperature pulses throughout larval development, whereas the TSP for leg truncation is at end of the third larval instar. Clones of homozygous Ba- cells incapable of contributing to any but the coxal segment of the legs, and for the most part, the first antennal segment; in the relatively infrequent cases, in which Ba- clones involve distal antennal segments, Ba- portions, which always include at least the arista, are absent, and Ba+ portions develop normally indicating cellular autonomy.
Ba1
Homozygous lethal; dies in first instar and has normal morphology. Heterozygote shows antenna-to-leg transformation; entire arista and part of third antennal segment transformed to distal metathoracic leg structures. Expression temperature sensitive; transformation complete at 19; phenotype normal at 29. Ba/Df(2R)Ba4 shows abnormal segmentation both dorsally and ventrally and loss of head structures; antennal, maxillary, and labial segments affected. "H" piece malformed or absent as are Keilin's organs in all three thoracic segments. Recessive to two doses of 60D-F.
Ba3
Ba3/+ wild type; Ba3/Ba1 fail to eclose; pharate adults lack third antennal segment; second segment transformed to leg; distal arista normal. Legs lack all structures distal to tibiae; tibiae enlarge and bear ectopic bristles; no remaining leg bristles are bracted.
Ba5
Ba5/+ like Ba1/+. Ba5/Ba5 and Ba5/Ba1 are late embryonic lethals; show loss of antennae, maxillary, and labial sense organs, as well as the "H" piece and Keilin's organs from all three thoracic segments. Occasional abnormalities in setal bands of segments posterior to prothorax; setal bands or spinules may be deleted or adjacent bands fused. Posterior end of larva normal.
Ba9
Recessive allele. Homozygotes show partial transformation of antennae to legs as well as deletions of some leg structures. Tarsal tissue, sometimes including claws, develops in place of arista and part of third antennal segment. Third segment usually contains patchwork of incompletely differentiated leg tissue; first and second segments normal. Leg effects distal to mid tibia; legs proximal to mid tibia normal. In extreme cases number of tarsal segments reduced to two or three; basitarsus and distal tibia may be missing; in most extreme cases claws may also be missing. In the case of mild expression abnormal bristle patterns, including polarity reversal, occur around basitarsus-tibia joint, where there may also develop cuticular hyperplasia. Penetrance greater in females than males, in antennae than legs, and in metathoracic than other legs. Ba1/BaM die as pharate adults with extreme malformations of antennae and legs.
Ba12
Ba12/+ wild type; recessive lethal. Heterozygote exhibits nearly complete suppression of extra-sex-combs phenotype of Pc4/+.

Nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) down-regulates a distinct splice isoform(s) of this gene.
Patterns of canalization and trait correlation have been examined using Dll11 and high temperature stress on a panel of iso-female lines.
Dll may restrict expression of proximal-leg specific gene expression.
Dll and hth specify antennal fates via regulation of multiple genes.
Dll acts in parallel with hth to induce antennal differentiation.
Dll is required for the formation of some genital structures and the analia. Dll is required for the development of both anal plates in males but only the dorsal plate in females, supporting the view that the analia arise from two primordia.
The activities of cad and of the hh pathway induce Dll expression that, together with cad, promote external analia development.
Expression of Dll and hth prevents cells from mixing at the interface between the body wall and leg territories in the developing leg disc.
In the distal domain of the developing leg, exd function is suppressed by the dpp/wg response gene Dll, which prevents the nuclear transport of exd.
Genetic combinations with mutants of nub cause additive phenotypes.
Dll has two separate functions: a primary function to induce the formation of ventral appendages and their identity, and a secondary function involved in the differentiation of the wing margin pattern.
A technique using fluorescent probes to detect a mRNA and a protein simultaneously in the embryo is used and results suggest Dll-driven expression of a Ecol\lacZ reporter gene is activated in the ventral region of the limb primordia and Dll-positive cells migrate from a ventral position to a dorsal one within a single limb primordia.
exd and Dll are required in near complementary domains along the leg, with the exception of the trochanter and proximal femur where both gene functions are needed.
Dll is required for proximal-distal axis formation in the limbs.
Combined action of wg-expressing cells in the leg ventral-anterior compartment and dpp-expressing cells in the leg dorsal-anterior compartment activates expression of Dll.
Comparison of Dll and wg expression in Drosophila and the butterfly P.coenia suggests a common mechanism underlying the formation of all insect appendages. The limb-type-specific patterns of Dll expression indicate that the regulation of Dll expression may be critical to limb morphology, and are inconsistent with Dll functioning in a simple distal-to-proximal concentration gradient.
The initiation of Dll expression that marks the allocation of thoracic imaginal primordia is dependent upon wg.
Dll and Dfd are both persistently expressed in ventral maxillary cells, and combinatorially specify a subsegmental code required for a group of cells to differentiate maxillary cirri. The regulatory effect of Dfd on Dll is mediated by a ventral maxillary-specific enhancer located 3' to the Dll transcription unit.
Null alleles are recessive embryonic lethals, with dominant developmental defects of distal appendages. Lethal embryos lack certain sensilla, including Keilin's organs and antennal, maxillary, labial and labral sense organs, all of which are thought to correspond to vestiges of the distal sensilla of rudimentary larval appendages. No other embryonic sensilla are affected, nor are the neurons innervating the rudimentary appendages detectably abnormal. In homozygous-viable or pharate-adult-lethal hypomorphic alleles defects are found in all appendages represented by the above larval structures. Heterozygotes for lethal alleles are characterized by transformations of distal antennal segments (i.e., AII, AIII and arista) to mesothoracic leg and by variable loss of distal leg segments, depending on severity of allele. Transformation in the case of Dll1 sensitive to low-temperature pulses throughout larval development, whereas the TSP for leg truncation is at end of the third larval instar. Clones of homozygous Dll- cells incapable of contributing to any but the coxal segment of the legs and for the most part, the first antennal segment; in the relatively infrequent cases, in which Dll- clones involve distal antennal segments, Dll- portions, which always include at least the arista, are absent and Dll+ portions develop normally indicating cellular autonomy.
A minimal cis-regulatory enhancer element, Dll-304, directs Dll expression in larval leg primordia. Bithorax complex proteins repress Dll expression in abdominal segments by binding to a small number of specific sites in the element, and mutating the sites eliminates binding of bithorax complex proteins and renders the element insensitive to their regulation.
Limb development depends specifically on Dll gene activity.
disco expression in limb primordia is Dll-dependent.
Homeotic gene activity programs primordia as either discs or histoblast nests by the early extended germ band stage.
Dll plays an important part in specifying proximo-distal positional information.
Dll acts as a developmental switch that is required to promote the development of limb structures.
Dll activity is required for the distal domains of the adult limbs: legs, labial palps, maxillary palps, antennae and clypeolabrum.
Dll is one of the 18 loci identified in a screen for dominant modifiers of Pc and/or Antp phenotypes. Alleles of Pc, Pcl, Scm, Dll, brm, kto, Scr and trx show clear dominant enhancement or suppression of AntpScx, whereas alleles of vtd, Vha55, Su(Pc)37D, urd, mor, skd and osa do not.
