The gene fused is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\fu (CG6551, FBgn0001079). It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: protein binding; protein serine/threonine kinase activity. There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: smoothened signaling pathway; regulation of protein stability; positive regulation of transcription factor import into nucleus; segment polarity determination; germarium-derived egg chamber formation; positive regulation of hh target transcription factor activity. 158 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: organ system subdivision; adult segment; adult mesothoracic segment; female germline cyst; integumentary plate; organ system; non-connected developing system; presumptive embryonic/larval nervous system; mesothoracic tarsal bristle longitudinal row 3.5; wing cell; appendage segment. It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide. Protein features are: Protein kinase, ATP binding site; Protein kinase, catalytic domain; Protein kinase-like domain; Serine/threonine-protein kinase, active site; Serine/threonine-protein kinase, catalytic domain; Serine/threonine-protein kinase-like domain. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of low expression. Peak expression observed within 00-06 hour embryonic stages. Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: Expression at moderate levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: larval/adult central nervous system, adult ovary. Comments on Affy2 ProbeSet: ProbeSet 1635117_at completely aligns to an exonic region of the only FlyBase-annotated transcript isoform of fu. Gene sequence location is X:18551787..18555263.

Veins L3 and L4 fused from base to beyond anterior crossvein with elimination of anterior crossvein and first basal cell. L3 and L4 fused at tip; this fusion may reach back to basal cell. L3 may be thickened and branched to varying degrees; L4 may be partially or completely absent. Mosaic wings in which the posterior compartment is nearly entirely fu/fu may develop normally; alternatively, patches of + tissue in a fu wing may develop a fu phenotype (Fausto-Sterling, 1978, Dev. Biol. 63: 358-69). Wings usually extended; flightless owing to cuticle defect (Deak). Ocelli reduced or absent; bristles of ocellar region small or absent. Eyes small and slightly rough. Phototactic response normal (Benzer, 1967, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 58: 1112-19). Anterior scutellar bristles reduced in number and scutellum shortened. Female late to eclose and has decreased longevity. Ovaries histologically normal at eclosion but with half the normal number of ovarioles (Beatty, 1949, Proc. Roy. Soc. Edinburgh, B 63: 249-70); fecundity 4% normal. Developing egg chambers may fuse or become tumorous with age (King, Burnett, and Staley, 1957, Growth 21: 239-61 (fig.)]. All aspects of phenotype respond in a coordinated fashion to experimental manipulation (Wust and Hanratty, 1979, Can. J. Genet. Cytol. 21: 335-46). Proportion of tumorous egg chambers increases by 6% per day. Females raised at 18 show only 10% the tumor development of those raised at 25. Tumor formation also enhanced by presence of YS (King, 1969, Nat. Cancer Inst. Monogr. 31: 323-45). Ovarian effects in females carrying fu and a deficiency for fu [i.e. In(1)ClLy4R = In(1)4A5-B1;17A6-B1L1A8-B1;18A3-4R] are more extreme than those in fu homozygote (King, 1959, DIS 33: 142-43; 1970). Alleles vary in strength; measures of ovarian tumor formation revealed that fu1 = fu14 > fu7 > fu13 > fu11 = fu12 [Smith and King, 1966, J. Nat. Cancer Inst. 36: 445-63 (fig.)]. fu/fu ovaries transplanted into fu+ hosts develop autonomously in regard to fertility (Clancy and Beadle, 1937, Biol. Bull. 72: 47-56; Sobels, 1950, Experientia 6: 139-40) and tumor formation (Smith, Bodenstein, and King, 1965, J. Exp. Zool. 159: 333-36). The few normal-appearing eggs that are laid by fu/fu females produce adults only if they have been fertilized by fu+-bearing sperm (Lynch, 1919, Genetics 4: 501-33). Eggs fertilized by fu- or Y-bearing sperm, with rare exceptions (Counce), develop into embryos that become abnormal 5-51/2 hr after fertilization. Lethal embryos exhibit incompletely penetrant segment polarity defects in which the anterior denticle-belt-bearing half of each segment shows mirror-image duplication replacing the naked cuticle of the posterior half; more pronounced in thoracic segments; penetrance in right and left hemisegments at the same level is not necessarily correlated. (Nusslein-Volhard and Wieschaus, 1980, Nature 287: 795-801, Gergen and Wieschaus, 1986, Wilhelm Roux's Arch. Dev. Biol. 195: 49-62). Elimination of regions of dorsal pattern and occasional head defects are also observed. fu eggs from fu/+ mothers develop normally. Segment polarity defects autonomous in mosaics (Gergen and Wieschaus). Heterozygous daughters from homozygous mothers on the other hand, often have abnormal abdominal segmentation and, as embryos, have abnormal musculature. This is a maternal effect not found in the reciprocal cross, and it is temperature sensitive (Armstrong and Sobels). RK1.
fu31
Homozygous and hemizygous females and hemizygous males die in pupal stage; lethality suppressible by Su(fu). fu31/fu41 and fu31/Y have all segments entirely duplicated; lack mouth hooks and some have no head. fu31/+ embryos from such clones exhibit very low paternal rescue; small correction of segmental phenotype, low hatch, and preadult mortality (Busson, Limbourg-Bouchon, Mariol, Preat and Lamour-Isnard, 1988, Roux's Arch. Dev. Biol. 197: 221-30).
fu33
A temperature-sensitive allele. fu wing-vein phenotype occurs at all temperatures; ocelli absent when raised at 22 but not at 17. TSP for absence of anterior ocellus from second instar through pupal stage, for posterior ocelli restricted to late third instar and early pupal stage. Flightless when raised at 22 or 29 but not at 17; wings held horizontally perpendicular to body at 29. Musculature abnormal when raised at restrictive temperatures [Homyk and Grigliatti, 1983, Dev. Genet. 4: 77-97 (fig.)].
fu40
fu40/Y sons of fu40/+ mothers die as late pupae or newly emerged adults; lethality suppressible by Su(fu). fu embryos produced by homozygous germ-line clones are mostly lethal (70%); those that hatch mostly achieve adulthood (Perrimon and Mahowald, 1987, Dev. Biol. 119: 587-600).

Additional Descriptive Data
Transcript is detected starting in the midgermarium in cells corresponding to mature 16-cell germline-cysts and prefollicular and follicual cells. Transcript is detected in stage 2 and 3 egg chambers with both somatic and germline cell expression.
fu transcripts are most abundant in early embryos and adult females. They are also observed at low levels in larvae, pupae, and adult males. Transcripts are first detected by in situ hybridization at stage S8 of oogenesis in nurse cells and appear to flow in the oocyte as oogenesis proceeds. fu transcripts are uniformly distributed in preblastoderm embryos, are located in cortical cells at the cellular blastoderm stage, and are present in all germ layers at similar levels in germ band extended embryos. They are not detected after germ band retraction. In imaginal discs, fu transcripts are present in all cells but are more abundant in wing than in leg discs.
The 3.2kb fu transcript is present at much higher levels in females than males. It is also present in 0-3hr and 3-6hr embyros.

fu blocks cos binding with smo through phosphorylation of cos, leading to cell-surface accumulation of smo.
fu regulates the stability of cos through phosphorylation.
fu has the ability to directly bind both cos and smo (in a hh-independent manner).
Identified as a component of the hh signalling pathway in a genome-wide RNAi screen. dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed affects the extent of expression of a hh signaling reporter construct in Clone 8 cells.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.
9 alleles of fu have been recovered in a screen for mutations with smo-like mutant phenotypes in clones in the wing.
fu protein phosphorylates cos protein. The primary site of phosphorylation is Ser-572, with Ser-931 being phosphorylated to a lesser extent.
fu participates in to partially redundant pathways to regulate ci nuclear import; the kinase function plays a positive role by inhibiting Su(fu), and the regulatory domain plays a negative role in conjunction with cos.
fu may stimulate the hh pathway, not by promoting the formation of ciact, but rather by facilitating its entry into the nucleus.
fu is required autonomously in anterior cells neighboring hh to maintain ptc and wg expression.
Using the yeast two-hybrid method and an in vitro binding assay it is demonstrated that Su(fu), ci and fu can interact directly to form a trimolecular complex, with Su(fu) binding to both its partners simultaneously. In the absence of hh signalling results propose that Su(fu) inhibits ci by binding to it and that, upon reception of the hh signal, fu is activated and counteracts Su(fu), leading to the activation of ci.
Su(fu) and fu modify wing phenotypes due to hh signalling.
hh elicits signal transduction via a complex that includes the products of the fu, ci and cos genes. The complex binds with high affinity to microtubules in the absence of hh protein, but not when hh is present. The complex may facilitate signalling from hh by governing access of the ci product to the nucleus.
Mutations in the catalytic domain of the fu protein abolish both its biological function and its association with cos protein.
Genetic and molecular analysis of both endogenous and in vitro induced fu mutant alleles has been performed to characterise the function of fu and to assess the role of the different fu protein domains.
fu protein is phosphorylated during embryogenesis as a result of hh activity. Results from cell culture studies suggest that fu and Pka-C1 function downstream of hh but in parallel pathways that eventually converge distal to fu.
The small lobe of fu may play a role in generating the neomorphic cos phenotype displayed by an unregulated fu protein in a Su(fu)- background.
DNA comparison of fu and Dvir\fu identifies regions conserved during evolution: the 268 amino acid kinase domain and a domain within the third exon. Stretches of conserved sequences are also observed in the 5' and 3' untranslated sequences.
Mutations at the fu locus result in morphological defects in the adult compound eye and mechano-sensory bristles. Genetic analysis reveals that sca enhances the fu phenotype suggesting a possible interaction between fu and sca.
fu and hh modulate the post-transcriptional regulation of ci protein.
Genetic and molecular data suggest that fu and Su(fu) could act through a competitive posttransductional modification of a common target in the hh signalling pathway.
Scer\GAL4 under the control of wg, en, h and prd driving the expression of fu genomic fragment downstream of a UAS element has been used to test phenotypic rescue of fu- embryos be localised fu expression.
The migration of wing glial cells is affected by N and fu, which both affect axonogenesis, suggesting that the two processes are tightly associated.
Direct wg autoregulation differs from wg signalling to adjacent cells in the importance of fu, smo and ci relative to sgg and arm.
Mutants display hyperplastic phenotype, tissue overgrowth in mitotic recombination clones and in the germline.
fu and ci are required for normal wg transcription, acting downstream of ptc to regulate wg transcription. Transcriptional control of ptc is mediated by fu and ci.
Segment polarity mutations cause stripes of abnormal patterning within sectors of the leg disc, which may be mediated by regional perturbations in growth.
Competence of cells to express wg is independent of their ability to receive the hh signal. wg activation requires the function of fu, this suggests that the putative hh signal is transduced by the serine/threonine kinase that fu encodes.
The genetic hierarchy regulating female germ-line sex determination includes tra, tra2, dsx, fu, otu, ovo, snf and Sxl. fu, otu, ovo and snf function upstream of Sxl.
fu alleles are qualitatively classified and the molecular bases underlying the classification reflects the functional organisation of the fu gene locus.
The structure of the fu transcription unit, its temporal and spatial expression are analysed.
wg and en expression patterns are studied in all known segment polarity mutants to investigate the requirement of other segment polarity genes in mediating the maintenance of wg and en.
Wing phenotype and maternally determined lethality of fu mutants suppressed by loss of function mutations at Su(fu).
Segmentation genes interacting with fu have been identified.
Mutations in fu cause extra longitudinal or transverse veins with plexated vein phenotypes. kn, fu and shf act synergistically against Px, px, net, dsr and emc.
Molecular data suggests that fu encodes a putative Ser/Thr protein kinase.
The kn and fu loci belong to the knot phenotypic group within the 'excess-of-vein' mutant class. Mutants generate a medial shift in the position of the longitudinal veins, sensilla and chaetae. Double mutants are superadditive in vein pattern defects.
Role of fu in neurogenesis has been studied.
Molecular analysis of fu mutations reveals that they fall into two groups; large deficiencies or, point mutations or extremely small deletions. Both class of mutations interact with Su(fu) and cos.
Genetic analysis of viable and lethal alleles of fu has been performed and demonstrates that zygotic expression of fu is required for normal metamorphosis, while maternal expression is necessary for a normal segmentation pattern.
DNA sequences thought to contain fu have been identified and injected into fu mutant embryos: partial rescue of the mutant phenotype was obtained.
Veins L3 and L4 fused from base to beyond anterior crossvein with elimination of anterior crossvein and first basal cell. L3 and L4 fused at tip; this fusion may reach back to basal cell. L3 may be thickened and branched to varying degrees; L4 may be partially or completely absent. Mosaic wings in which the posterior compartment is nearly entirely fu/fu may develop normally; alternatively, patches of + tissue in a fu wing may develop a fu phenotype (Fausto-Sterling, 1978). Wings usually extended; flightless owing to cuticle defect (Deak, 1976). Ocelli reduced or absent; bristles of ocellar region small or absent. Eyes small and slightly rough. Phototactic response normal (Benzer, 1967). Anterior scutellar bristles reduced in number and scutellum shortened. Female late to eclose and has decreased longevity. Ovaries histologically normal at eclosion but with half the normal number of ovarioles (Beatty, 1949); fecundity 4% normal. Developing egg chambers may fuse or become tumorous with age (King, Burnett, and Staley, 1957). All aspects of phenotype respond in a coordinated fashion to experimental manipulation (Wust and Hanratty, 1979). Proportion of tumorous egg chambers increases by 6% per day. Females raised at 18oC show only 10% the tumor development of those raised at 25oC. Tumor formation also enhanced by presence of YS (King, 1969). Ovarian effects in females carrying fu and a deficiency for fu <up>E.G. In(1)ClLy4R</up> are more extreme than those in fu homozygote (King, 1959). Alleles vary in strength; measures of ovarian tumor formation revealed that fu1 = fu14 > fu7 > fu13 > fu11 = fu12 (Smith and King, 1966). fu/fu ovaries transplanted into fu+ hosts develop autonomously in regard to fertility (Clancy and Beadle, 1937) (Sobels, 1950) and tumor formation (Smith, Bodenstein and King, 1965). The few normal-appearing eggs that are laid by fu/fu females produce adults only if they have been fertilized by fu+-bearing sperm (Lynch, 1919). Eggs fertilized by fu- or Y-bearing sperm, with rare exceptions (Counce, 1956), develop into embryos that become abnormal 5-5.5 hr after fertilization. Lethal embryos exhibit incompletely penetrant segment polarity defects in which the anterior denticle-belt-bearing half of each segment shows mirror-image duplication replacing the naked cuticle of the posterior half; more pronounced in thoracic segments; penetrance in right and left hemisegments at the same level is not necessarily correlated. (Nusslein-Volhard and Wieschaus, 1980; Gergen and Wieschaus, 1986). Elimination of regions of dorsal pattern and occasional head defects are also observed. fu eggs from fu/+ mothers develop normally. Segment polarity defects autonomous in mosaics (Gergen and Wieschaus, 1986). Heterozygous daughters from homozygous mothers on the other hand, often have abnormal abdominal segmentation and, as embryos, have abnormal musculature. This is a maternal effect not found in the reciprocal cross and it is temperature-sensitive (Armstrong and Sobels).
