Automatically generated summary

See sections below for more information
The gene chickadee is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\chic (CG9553, FBgn0000308). It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: protein binding. There is experimental evidence for 12 unique biological process terms, many of which group under: anatomical structure development; cellular component organization or biogenesis; multicellular organismal reproductive process; biological regulation; central nervous system development; localization; cellular process involved in reproduction; cell division; ovarian nurse cell to oocyte transport; organ development. 67 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: organ system; female germline cyst; organ system subdivision; egg; spermatocyte; adult segment; portion of tissue; sensillum; nervous system; multi-cell-component structure. It has 6 annotated transcripts and 6 annotated polypeptides. Protein features are: Profilin, plant; Profilin/allergen. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of high expression. Peak expression observed at stages throughout embryogenesis, at stages throughout the larval period, at stages throughout the pupal period, in adult female stages. Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: High levels of expression observed in all larval and adult organs/tissues. Expression at high levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: adult head, adult eye, larval/adult central nervous system, adult crop, larval/adult midgut, larval/adult hindgut, larval/adult Malpighian tubules, adult heart, larval/adult fat body, larval/adult salivary gland, larval trachea, adult female reproductive system, adult male reproductive system, larval/adult carcass. Comments on Affy2 ProbeSet: ProbeSet 1640251_s_at completely aligns to an exonic region common to each of the 4 FlyBase-annotated transcript isoforms of chic. Gene sequence location is 2L:5972115..5981025.

Additional Descriptive Data
chic protein is expressed throughout development, with high levels in 12-24 hr embryos and in pupal stages, and low levels in adults. Before stage S2 of oogenesis, high levels of chic protein are detected in the cytoplasm of follicle cells, with low levels associated with the follicle cell plasma membrane. After stage S2, lower levels of cytoplasmic chic protein are detectable in both germline and somatic cells. Border follicle cells express chic protein at high levels. Expression is also detected in the nurse cell cytoplasm throughout oogenesis, with highest levels at stage S10. chic protein is expressed throughout embryogenesis, with some regions of higher expression. During gastrulation, higher expression is detected in areas of cell movement. At stage 16, the ventral nerve cord is stained.

Identified in an RNAi screen for host factors that alter infection of SL2 cells by M.fortuitum.
dsRNA directed against this gene causes defects in cytokinesis when tested in an RNAi screen in S2 cells.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene is tested in an RNAi screen for effects on actin-based lamella formation.
chic regulates actin filament formation throughout the cell cortex in the follicular epithelium.
cib and chic cooperate in central brain metamorphosis.
ena protein can bind directly to chic protein. The proline-rich region of ena is responsible for this interaction.
Mutations in chic disrupt cytokinesis during male meiosis, preventing the formation of both the central spindle and the contractile ring.
Identification: Enhancer trap screen designed to discover genes involved in the cellular aspects of defense mechanisms, as well as in melanotic tumor formation processes linked to blood cell dysregulation.
The chic mutant phenotype resembles that caused by disrupting the actin cytoskeleton with cytochalasin D, and that of capu and spir. Mutants in chic resemble those in capu in that they fail to localize stau protein and osk mRNA to the posterior pole of the developing oocyte.
The chic profilin product can bind to the product of capu in a yeast two hybrid assay.
Phenotypic analysis of chic male-sterile alleles reveals defects in meiotic cytokinesis and suggests that proper actin assembly is necessary for centrosome separation and migration.
Induced expression of chic proteins causes aberrant cell shapes reflecting defects in cytokinesis and/or cel shape maintenance.
Proliferation defect locus.
Identification: Screen for mutations affecting neuromuscular connectivity, using an antibody to Fas2.
The network of cytoplasmic actin filaments in each nurse cell is missing in chic egg chambers: this does not account for the chic phenotype. Cytoplasm transport is disrupted as nuclei are not properly held in position during chic nurse cell regression and when flow starts the nuclei are pushed into the ring canals thus blocking the pathway to the oocyte.
There are at least 10 P element insertions at chic with effects on both male and female fertility and bristle formation. Female sterile mutation caused by loss of ovary specific transcript. P insert in first exon.
Promotes actin assembly.
Mutations at the chic locus cause defects in midoogenesis.
