Automatically generated summary

See sections below for more information
The gene concertina is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\cta (CG17678, FBgn0000384). It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: GTPase activity. There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: regulation of embryonic cell shape; gastrulation involving germ band extension. 21 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: amnioproctodeal invagination; gonad; nurse cell ring canal; egg chamber; ventral furrow. It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide. Protein features are: G protein alpha subunit, helical insertion; G-protein alpha subunit, group 12; Guanine nucleotide binding protein (G-protein), alpha subunit. 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 within 00-18 hour embryonic stages, in adult female stages. Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: Expression at high levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: adult ovary. Expression at moderate levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: larval/adult central nervous system, adult crop, larval midgut, larval hindgut, larval Malpighian tubules, larval/adult fat body, larval/adult salivary gland, larval trachea, adult male accessory gland, larval carcass. Comments on Affy2 ProbeSet: ProbeSet 1632931_at completely aligns to an exonic region of the only FlyBase-annotated transcript isoform of cta. Gene sequence location is 2L:22874534..22885080.

hide Phenotypic Description from the Red Book (Lindsley & Zimm 1992)
Gene/Allele symbols may differ from current usage
cta: concertina (T. Schupbach)
Maternal-effect lethal, female sterile: Embryos from homozygous mothers gastrulate abnormally; no posterior midgut formed; the germ band does not advance to the dorsal side of the embryo, but as it expands, it is thrown into a series of folds at the ventral side of the embryo. Anterior midgut appears to develop normally. The phenotype is reminiscent of the zygotic embryonic lethal mutation folded gastrulation (fog). At final differentiation, the embryos from cta mothers have a fairly normal array of thoracic and abdominal segments with morphologically normal denticle belts. Defective head skeleton seen in larvae.

ChEST reveals this is a target of Mef2.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers against this gene tested in a cl-8 cell reporter assay to examine any role of cta in the hh signalling pathway.
Activation of the fog/cta pathway results in ectopic cell shape changes in the gastrula.
Uniform fog expression rescues the gastrulation defects of fog null embryos but not cta mutant embryos, arguing that cta acts downstream of fog.
cta protein is required for cell shape changes induced by ectopic fog expression and thus may operate downstream of fog signalling in wild-type embryos.
Variegation of lt and cta is manifest at phenotypic and gene expression levels in the adult eye, and the larval salivary glands and Malpighian tubules. The relative severity of the effect correlates with the chromosomal rearrangement. Larval imaginal discs do not display variegation, but show uniform reduction of transcription, which correlates in magnitude with the degree of variegation.
The cta locus displays reduced variation, the HKA test demonstrates that background selection is not the sole force for reducing variation. Reduction of variation does not extend to the ref(2)P locus.
Sequence analysis suggests that cta encodes an alpha subunit of a G protein. cta has a role in cell-cell communication as a mediator of signals between membrane bound receptors and intracellular effectors during gastrulation.
Mutations in cta block the transition from the first slow stochastic phase of gastrulation to the second rapid phase of constriction in the ventral furrow and the posterior midgut invaginations.
Maternal effect gene required for gastrulation.
Mutations in cta result in a maternal effect phenotype with defects during the early stages of gastrulation and defects in the anteroposterior axis.
