From Eker, 1929, Hereditas 12: 217-22.
Four classes of alleles, all recessive. (1) en1. Viable hemizygous and homozygous; fertile. Longitudinal cleft extends from rear border of scutellum forward, may be reduced to median nick or posterior flattening of scutellum. Wings larger, broader, and thin textured with spatulate end; venation and distribution of sensilla abnormal in posterior wing compartment. Variable duplication of anterior triple row bristles on posterior margin; alula reduced, with costal-like bristles. In males, extra sex comb often present (Brasted, 1941, Genetics 26: 347-73), smaller than normal, and in mirror-image position in posterior compartment. Duplications of transverse rows in female prothoracic leg, extra bristles in mesothoracic and metathoracic tarsi (Garcia-Bellido, and Santamaria, 1972, Genetics 72: 87-104; Lawrence, Struhl, and Morata, 1979, J. Embryol. Exp. Morph. 51: 195-208). Action of en1 is autonomous except for scutellar cleft (Tokunaga, 1961, Genetics 46: 157-76; Stern and Tokunaga, 1968, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 60: 1252-59; Garcia-Bellido, and Santamaria, 1972, Genetics 72: 87-104). Clones of en cells of posterior compartment origin fail to respect anterior-posterior compartment border in wing disc as do mwh clones in wing discs of en1 homozygotes (Morata and Lawrence, 1975, Nature 255: 614-17; Morata and Lawrence, 1976, Dev. Biol. 50: 321-37). en abnormalities are associated with posterior compartment structures only, except for scutellar cleft. Restriction of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (Cunninghamn, Smith, Makowski, and Kuhn, 1983, Mol. Gen. Genet. 191: 238-43) and of a protein recognized by monoclonal antibody PS2 (Brower, 1984, Nature 310: 496-98; 1987, EMBO J. 5: 2649-56) to posterior compartment of wing disc altered by en1. Interaction with ci, cg, sx (House, 1953, Genetics 38: 200-15; House, 1953, Genetics 38: 309-27; House, 1961, Genetics 46: 871; Mukherjee, 1965, Genetics 51: 285-304; Datta and Mukherjee, 1971, Genetics 68: 269-86) and fu (Fausto-Sterling and Smith-Schiess, 1982, EMBO J. 1: 827-33) partially increase phenotype. No suppression by su(Hw). (2) Lethal alleles with normal cytology. Embryonic lethal. Anterior margin of each segment defective. Pair rule defects in naked cuticle of T1, T3, A2, A4, A6, A8 result in pair-wise fusion of adjacent segments. Autonomous effects in adult cuticular clones observed in posterior compartment of proboscis, thorax, abdomen, and genitalia. enlethal clones are without effect in anterior compartments and in eye-antennal region (Kornberg, 1981, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 78: 1095-99; Kornberg, 1981, Dev. Biol. 86: 363-72; Lawrence and Struhl, 1982, EMBO J. 1: 827-33). The en1/enlethal heterozygote characterized by wing abnormalities only; disruption of anterior crossvein, gap in vein IV, and occasional socketted bristles on posterior margin. In some combinations complementation is complete or nearly so (Condie and Brower, 1989, Dev. Biol. 135: 31-42). No maternal effect (Lawrence, Johnston and Struhl, 1983, Cell 35: 27-34). (3) Deficiencies and lethal alleles with inversion or translocation breakpoints. Embryonic lethal. Embryonic segment defects slight and variable. Alleles of this class in heterozygous combination witn en1 produce adults more extreme than en1. For example, in en1/en2, legs are truncated, the tarsi reduced to densely bristled stumps; wings are greatly enlarged and spatulate with greater disruption of veins IV and V; higher penetrance of socketed bristles along the posterior margin. Extreme scutellar cleft. At 29, duplication of anterior compartment bristles in mirror-image symmetry in posterior compartment of second antennal segment (Morata, Kornberg, and Lawrence, 1983, Dev. Biol. 99: 27-33). (4) Non-lethal alleles with breakpoints. Hemizygous viable, embryos normal. Heterozygous with other allele classes, variable gaps in wing veins IV and V. Variable reductions or deletions in male and female genitalia (Epper and Sanchez, 1983, Dev. Biol. 100: 387-98). Scutellum may also be affected.
spt: spermatheca
At 28, female has two spermathecae but ducts partly fused; at 25, only one enlarged spermatheca on one duct; at 18, a duct with three branches, each bearing a spermatheca. Temperature-sensitive period in third larval instar. Female fertility not greatly affected. RK3.

Comments
en protein is used as a marker for the embryonic dorsal large intestine.
Polyclonal antibody is to the entire en protein.
en expression in the epidermis, but not the central nervous system, is disrupted in embryos which over express bcd. This disruption results in either the loss or fusion of en stripes.
Two monoclonal antibodies were generated against en (and also recognize inv), designated 4D9 and 4F11. 4D9 is directed to an engrailed specific region of the homeodomain, and recognizes en protien in several different species, but does not cross react with other homeodomain proteins.

Additional Descriptive Data
The en protein is localized to the nucleus, but becomes diffuse during mitosis.
The en protein is expressed in the posterior half of each segment.
en protein is expressed in a two cell wide row of cells anterior to the segment boundaries of each segment. Expression in the posterior row of cells decreases as a groove forms at the segment boundary.
en expression was observed sequentially in 5 "centers" anterior to the mandibular segment starting at embryonic stage 8. These are the "en antennal stripe", the "en head spot", the "en intercalary spot", the "en expression in the anterior dorsal hemispheres" and the "en expression in the clypeolabrum". Later two of the spots split, generating the "en antennal spot" and the "en secondary head spot". The migration of these en-expressing cells was followed throughout embryonic development.
en protein is expressed in stripes in the posterior region of each segment in the developing embryo. Detection of en expression in the even-numbered stripes slightly preceeds detection in odd-numbered stripes.
en protein is expressed in 14 stripes beginning at embryonic stage 8. After stage 11, expression does not overlap with that of ci. en protein expression in the wing disc also does not overlap with that of ci
The en protein is expressed in a specified subset of neuroblasts in embryonic stages 8-11. (see also FBrf 42042)
en expression is diminished in wg and arm mutants. An allelic series was described for each with with increasingly severe segment polarity phenotypes and earlier and more severe loss of en expression. The segmental stripes decay with a similar asymmetric pattern in wg and arm mutants.
In wghs.P embryos, the en protein stripes broaden posteriorly, spanning maximally about one-third of the segment. This is a similar expression pattern to that found in nkd mutant embryos.
Delayed changes in en expression were observed in response to ectopic eve expression in evehs.PS embryos. Four different expression patterns were observed depending on the timing of ectopic eve protein induction.

Additional comments
The highly divergent mosquito engrailed protein Agam\en is able to substitute for en protein during all stages of development. Agam\en expression by enhancer-trapping is precise enough to restore viability to en mutants.
enspt fails to complement en1.
hide Other Comments
Ectopic expression of en prior to neuronal specification can misroute axons, whereas en has no major effect when ectopically expressed in neurons only. Therefore, the action of en on axonal pathfinding occurs at early stages, before neuronal cell fate is established.
A 139bp minimal pairing sensitive element (PSE) from en regulatory DNA has been defined. This element mediates Pairing Sensitive Silencing (PSS). The PSE includes 8 protein binding sites at least 5 of which are important for pairing sensitive silencing. One of these is for pho protein, and another has the GAGAG sequence known to be bound by Trl and psq proteins.
fz and fz2 are required during embryogenesis to maintain epidermal en and wg expression.
hh is required for activation of en during regeneration of fragmented imaginal discs.
wg mutant embryos have residual mirror-symmetric pattern due to an en-dependent signal specifying anterior denticle fates. The en-dependent signal acts unidirectionally and wg activity imposes the asymmetry.
Three EMS induced en alleles were identified in a screen for mutations affecting commissure formation in the CNS of the embryo.
In the developing abdomen the state of en, whether off or on, determines whether a cell is of Anterior or Posterior type. en acts in the Anterior compartment, where it is induced by hh gene product, in a narrow band of cells, which has crossed the Anterior/Posterior compartment boundary. en causes these cells to form a special type of cuticle.
Cell affinities in the adult abdomen depend on en: cells of the P compartment have affinities that are distinct from A cells.
When en is removed from Posterior cells, they transform into the Anterior cells of the same parasegment, rather than Anterior cells of the same segment.
Transport or stability of wg gene product is reduced within en expressing cells.
pho encodes a sequence-specific DNA binding protein that interacts with PRE in the en gene.
In solution the en homeodomain binds to a DNA molecule containing a single TAAT sequence in an analogous manner to that observed in the X-ray co-crystal structure. en also binds to a more complex site, having overlapping TAAT sequences, in more than one orientation.
eg is necessary for the maintenance of en and zfh2 expression in the serotonin neurons.
Interactions between en and polyhomeotic are required to maintain the anterior-posterior boundary and posterior cell fate in the wing.
Segment polarity gene expression is necessary for the survival of specific rows of epidermal cells.
en promotes the development of the dorsolateral fat body, midgut visceral mesoderm and somatic gonads while it suppresses development of somatic muscles, heart and ventral fat body. There is a balance between fat body and somatic gonadal precursor (SGP) development with tin, wg and en driving cells in the primary clusters towards SGP development and srp driving them towards fat body development.
Multiple domains contribute to en protein repression activity. The eh1 region interacts with the gro repressor.
CrebA, en double mutant phenotype confirms that CrebA is not involved in segment polarity.
Either en or inv is required to uncouple the ptc-gsb regulatory circuit in row 5 neuroblasts during neurogenesis.
Genes known to be expressed in compartment-specific manner in discs are expressed in analogous patterns in each primordia.
Adjacent and conserved ftz and cofactor binding sites within the en intron enhancer are necessary and sufficient for transcriptional activation. The cofactor sites can be specifically bound by ftz-f1, and the ftz homeodomain and ftz-f1 bind cooperatively in vitro.
Cross-regulatory relationships among hh, wg and en, as well as their initial mode of activation, in the anterior head are significantly different from those in the trunk.
pros does not modulate en regulatory region binding to DNA.
The expression of wg and en in the adult antenna is controlled by age-dependent mechanisms.
βTub60D is directly repressed by en protein. The first intron of the βTub60D locus contains several en protein binding sites.
Pc, Psc and polyhomeotic proteins are associated with identical regulatory elements of en in tissue culture cells and differentially distributed on regulatory sequences of inv.
en is one of a class of genes with TATA-less promoters that have the conserved DPE sequence.
Amino acids in the N-terminal arm of the homeodomain, as well as at position 54 of the homeodomain, control the DNA binding specificity of the homeodomain.
Cells in anterior compartments lacking ci express hh and adopt a posterior fate without expressing en.
ara-caup are expressed at patches on the wing, located one at each side of the DV compartment border. The posterior border of the patches is defined by repression by en.
Despite the absence of a syncytium in C.floridanum embryos monoclonal antibodies to en, Ubx and abd-A demonstrate their cognate proteins are expressed in a conserved pattern in the post-gastrulation stages of development. The expression of the eve cognate protein is not completely conserved and lacks a pair rule phase to its expression.
The varied phenotypes of en alleles can be explained by the differential effects these mutants have on the combination of en and inv activities.
en and inv share a regulatory region and encode redundant functions.
Interfaces between posterior (en on) and anterior (en off) cells are required for pattern formation. wg could play the role of the morphogen, at least within part of the segmental pattern.
Four segment polarity genes, hh, wg, gsb and en all function in concert to determine the formation and specifications of three hh-dependent eg-neuroblasts (6-4, 7-3 and 2-4).
Elevated en expression does not disrupt eye morphogenesis.
en is not required for hh activation or maintenance in the eye disc. Elevated en levels repress dpp, ptc and ci expression.
en is post-translationally modified by casein kinase II (CK-II). The targets for CK-II phosphorylation in vitro are serine residues 394, 397, 401 and 402, and phosphorylation by CK-II stimulates DNA binding.
Maintenance but not initiation of en gene expression in the embryo requires trx, which is also required to maintain stable long-term expression of the homeotic genes throughout development. trx is required for normal en expression in the wing imaginal disc. trx-dependent loss of en expression in the dorsal fat body is correlated with female sterility.
gro and hh regulate en expression in the anterior compartment of the wing.
Early ph-p gene expression is under the control of bcd and en as activators and of osk as an inhibitor.
Early eve expression is required for the activation of both even and odd numbered en stripes and late eve stripes strengthen the expression of odd numbered en stripes.
en has a dual role in wing development: a general role in patterning the appendage, achieved through the activation of secreted proteins like hh and dpp, and a more specific one, determining posterior identity, in which the inv gene may be implicated.
The organisation of the tail region of the embryo is documented from studies of cuticular markers enabling a more direct comparison between homologous structures on the embryo and larval cuticle.
en+ is a dose-dependent modifier of the ci locus. Lack of pairing at the ci locus can facilitate the en--dependent expression of the ci phenotypes.
en is involved in regulation of serotonin cell development.
odd and nkd are required to restrict en expression. odd represses expression of ftz, an activator of en. nkd prevents activation of en by ftz without affecting ftz expression.
The transition from inter-dependent wg and en expression to wg autoregulation may involve several segment polarity genes.
en is a candidate oc target gene in ocelli formation.
Msr-110 is a direct target for regulation by en. Normal expression of Msr-110 is dependent upon en function.
Clonal analysis supports the view that dpp is a direct target of repression by en, and that en defines the posterior extent of the dpp stripe in the wing imaginal disc. The en-hh-ptc regulatory loop that is responsible for segmental expression of wg in the embryo is reused in imaginal disks to create a stripe of dpp expression along the A/P compartment boundary.
ph-d and ph-p activation in germ band elongated embryos could be mediated by en binding to en-binding sites upstream of each of the ph-d and ph-p transcription units.
inv can perform a subset of functions attributed to en including the ability to confer posterior compartment identity, but does not appear to organize the anterior-posterior compartment boundary.
The establishment of the anterior-posterior organiser and control of compartment identity are genetically distinguishable and inv may perform a discrete subset of functions previously ascribed to en.
en both directs the posterior compartment pathway and creates the compartment border in wing development.
Maintenance of restricted wg transcription during late gastrulation requires en-independent wg autoregulatory activity.
en governs growth and patterning in both anterior and posterior wing compartments by controlling the expression of the hh and dpp products as well as the response of the cells to them. en activity programs wing cells to express hh whereas the absence of en activity programs them to respond to hh by expressing dpp. Consequently, posterior cells secrete hh product and induce a stripe of neighboring anterior cells across the compartment boundary to secrete dpp.
opa activity is essential for the appropriate level and timing of en and wg expression in all parasegments, but does not determine their restricted spatial domains of expression.
Clones lacking en function can respect a boundary of lineage restriction. hh mediates the interaction between anterior dpp-expressing cells and posterior en-expressing cells.
en is required for patterning of the posterior wing margin, specifically to inhibit the formation of stout and socketed bristles (characteristic of the anterior wing margin) posterior to wing vein 3. en participates, presumably indirectly, in cell-cell interactions.
Three pairing sensitive (PS) sites map to a 1.6kb fragment of en. PS sites of en can suppress expression of a linked marker gene (w) carried in P-elements, dependent on the presence of two copies of the P-element in proximity in the genome.
en pairing sensitive (PS) sites apparently normally act to promote interactions between distantly located en regulatory sites and the en promoter.
wg product made in the mesoderm can sustain en expression in the ectoderm.
en-mediated repression of Ubx is necessary for the parasegment 6 identity.
wg acts through dsh and arm to affect the expression of en and cuticle differentiation.
Comparisons of early development to that in other insects have revealed conservation of some aspects of development, as well as differences that may explain variations in early patterning events.
The exd protein modulates the DNA binding activity of en to a different site. In direction of increasing cytology: inv+ en-
Maintenance of en expression does not always require wg activity.
Wild type activity of five segment polarity genes, wg, ptc, en, nkd and hh, can account for most of the ventral pattern elements in the embryo. wg is required for naked cuticle. wg generates the diversity of cell types within the segment but each specific cell identity depends on the activity of ptc, en, nkd and hh.
wg functions as an extracellular signal maintaining en expression.
en is a specific repressor of activated transcription, and may act via a different mechanism than eve, perhaps by interfering with interactions between transcriptional activators and the general transcription machinery. A minimum repression domain of 55 residues, rich in alanine, can function when fused to a heterologous DNA binding domain. Unlike the repression domains of eve and Kr, the en repression domain is moderately charged.
A temporal asymmetry in the regulatory interactions between wg, en and gsb explains the difference in phenotypes between the mutants.
The positioning of en stripes in the embryo is largely determined by the actions of negative regulators: run is required to limit the domains of en-expression in odd-numbered parasegments, while odd is required to limit the domains of en-expression in even-numbered parasegments. Activation of en at the anterior margins of the parasegments requires repression of run and odd by eve.
The BRE region of Ubx includes binding sites for hb, ftz, tll, en and twi. The binding of their products and the interplay between them is responsible for generating the expression pattern directed by the BRE.
Overexpression of wg protein does not prevent parasegmental, restricted en expression, therefore wg is not acting as a local instructive signal or a morphogen.
Choice of cell fate made by en expressing cells in embryonic parasegments is mediated by wg, in a function distinct from its early role in maintaining en expression. en expressing cells respond differently to wg at different stages of development:early wg stabilizes the subdivision of the body axis by maintaining en expression, whereas later input generates cell-type diversity.
Experiments designed to identify cis-acting regulatory elements of en revealed a tendency for fragments of en DNA to target insertions to genes that are expressed in stripes.
en alleles fall into four classes, all recessive. Class 1: en1 (See en1 allele record for full description). Viable hemizygous and homozygous; fertile. Longitudinal cleft extends from rear border of scutellum forward, may be reduced to median nick or posterior flattening of scutellum. Wings larger, broader and thin textured with spatulate end; venation and distribution of sensilla abnormal in posterior wing compartment. Variable duplication of anterior triple row bristles on posterior margin; alula reduced, with costal-like bristles. Clones of en1 cells of posterior compartment origin fail to respect anterior-posterior compartment border in wing disc as do mwh1 clones in wing discs of en1 homozygotes. en1 abnormalities are associated with posterior compartment structures only, except for scutellar cleft. Not suppressed by su(Hw)1. Class 2: Lethal alleles with normal cytology. Embryonic lethal. Anterior margin of each segment defective. Pair rule defects in naked cuticle of T1, T3, A2, A4, A6, A8 result in pair-wise fusion of adjacent segments. Autonomous effects in adult cuticular clones observed in posterior compartment of proboscis, thorax, abdomen and genitalia. The en1/"enlethal" heterozygote characterized by wing abnormalities only; disruption of anterior crossvein, gap in vein IV and occasional socketted bristles on posterior margin. Class 3: Deficiencies and lethal alleles with inversion or translocation breakpoints. Embryonic lethal. Embryonic segment defects slight and variable. Alleles of this class in heterozygous combination witn en1 produce adults more extreme than en1. For example, in en1/en2, legs are truncated, the tarsi reduced to densely bristled stumps; wings are greatly enlarged and spatulate with greater disruption of veins IV and V; higher penetrance of socketed bristles along the posterior margin. Extreme scutellar cleft. Class 4: Non-lethal alleles with breakpoints. Hemizygous viable, embryos normal. Heterozygous with other allele classes, variable gaps in wing veins IV and V. Variable reductions or deletions in male and female genitalia. Scutellum may also be affected.
en is activated by ftz and repressed by odd, and low levels of eve cause ftz-dependent activation of en through repression of odd.
Embryos mutant for two or more Pc-group genes (Pc, Scm, Pcl, Psc, Asx, E(Pc), E(z), ph-d, pho and esc) show strong ectopic en expression, but only weak derepression occurs if embryo is mutant at only one of the Pc group genes. This effect is independent of the function of en itself, and wg. Expression of en in esc mutant embryos is almost normal, suggesting that esc may function in a pathway different from the other genes in the group.
Ectopic uniform wg expression results in expansion of the en expression domain in a posterior direction: original parasegment borders remain unchanged.
The 88kD ttk protein isoform binds a site upstream of the en promoter.
wg signalling operates by inactivating the sgg repression of en autoregulation.
Expression pattern of hh coincides with that of en in the epidermis. Though initially independent of en, hh expression later becomes en-dependent. In the absence of ptc function, wg expression, which is normally en-dependent, no longer requires en.
Clonal analysis shows that no clones straddle the anterior edge of en stripes in the embryo. However, posterior cells of each stripe lose en expression, producing mixed clones.
wg and en function in patterning the larval epidermis.
In embryos homozygous for sm, en expression fades towards the end of the extended germband phase suggesting that sm is important in maintaining en after its initial activation.
en expression pattern in the embryonic head strengthens the hypothesis that the clypeolabrum evolved from the fusion of paired labral appendages.
en expression becomes independent of wg extracellular influence and relies on positive autoregulation. Autoregulation is transient so does not supply a mechanism for determination of the en-cell fate.
en cannot completely rescue the ptc phenotype when in double mutant combinations.
In transfection assays en is an active transcriptional repressor. Active repression is distinct from the effects of passive homeodomain-containing proteins which repress when competing with activators for binding sites and activate when competing with en. Active repression activity maps outside the en homeodomain and this activity can be transferred to a heterologous DNA binding domain.
When a fragment of en DNA extending from -2.4kb to +0.8kb is included in the CaSpeR vector the eye colour of transformants often behaves anomalously, half of the homozygotes have a lighter eye colour than the heterozygotes and a quarter have the same eye colour as the heterozygotes. This occurred at many different insertion sites whether the upstream en fragment is directly adjacent to w+mC or when it is 1kb away. The suppression of eye colour is dependent on the proximity of the two copies of the transposon, either in cis or trans. The protein that mediates this phenomenon is probably not a homeodomain-containing protein as deletion of the homeodomain binding sites results in suppression of w expression.
Mutations in zygotic polarity gene en do not interact with RpII140wimp.
Appropriate en activity is required for proper restriction of the dpp expression domain as well as being required for maintenance of the posterior compartment fate.
en represses ciD expression in the posterior compartments of embryos and imaginal discs.
en mutants exhibit variable pair rule fusions and segment polarity reversals.
ptc is negatively regulated by en in the early extended germ band.
en intron 1 works as a stripe specific enhancer.
The crystal structure of a complex containing the en homeodomain and a duplex DNA site has been determined.
A modification and reduction in en and Dfd protein distribution is seen in mutant cad embryos.
sim gene product is required for the normal expression of en.
en protein represses transcriptional activation by ftz protein by competition for binding to homeodomain binding sites in vitro.
The en1/"enlethal" heterozygote characterized by wing abnormalities only; in some combinations complementation is complete or nearly so.
A transient expression assay has been employed to investigate the potential of homeobox genes to function as transcriptional activators.
A monoclonal antibody (MAb4D9) reacts specifically to en proteins in a variety of species. An ancestral function of en may have been in neurogenesis and its other functions in arthropods may represent a more recent addition.
The expression of en protein in Drosophila, grasshopper and crayfish has been compared.
Genetic analysis demonstrates that en is dispensable for efficient homeotic gene expression in the visceral mesoderm.
Scr and en are derepressed in the absence of Pc and the bithorax complex function.
Striped en expression during post-blastoderm development is controlled by a cis-regulatory programme distinct from that controlling the establishment of expression at the cellular blastoderm stage.
en protein isolated from cultured cells and embryos is post-translationally modified.
Heat shock induced en gene expression causes pattern defects similar to those in embryos lacking en gene product. The sensitivity to heat shock is only during the cellular blastoderm and early gastrulation periods when the en protein localises into segmentally reiterated stripes and represents only a small portion of the normal period of en gene expression.
en is expressed in the posterior (but not the anterior) compartments of the embryo and larva.
en mutant genital discs show reductions or deletions.
"enlethal" alleles show no maternal effect.
At 29oC, duplication of anterior compartment bristles in mirror-image symmetry in the posterior compartment of second antennal segment occurs.
"enlethal" clones are without effect in anterior compartments and in eye-antennal region.
