Automatically generated summary

See sections below for more information
The gene male fertility factor kl3 is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\kl-3 (CG17629, FBgn0001314). It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: ATPase activity, coupled; motor activity. Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to be involved in the biological process: microtubule-based movement. 24 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: spermatid; testis; spermatid axoneme; spermatozoon. It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide. Protein features are: ATPase, AAA+ type, core; ATPase, dynein-related, AAA domain; Dynein heavy chain; Dynein heavy chain, P-loop containing D4 domain; Dynein heavy chain, coiled coil stalk; Dynein heavy chain, domain-1; Dynein heavy chain, domain-2. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very low expression to a trough of no expression detected. Peak expression observed at stages throughout the pupal period, in adult male stages. Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: No FlyAtlas data available because no Affy2 ProbeSet aligns to an exon of kl-3. Comments on Affy2 ProbeSet: No relevant information because no Affy2 ProbeSet aligns to an exon of kl-3. Gene sequence location is YHet:34290..65839.

hide Phenotypic Description from the Red Book (Lindsley & Zimm 1992)
Gene/Allele symbols may differ from current usage
kl-3
Males mutant for kl-3 fail to assemble the outer dynein arms associated with the peripheral nine microtubule doublets of the sperm-tail axoneme [Hardy, Tokuyasu, and Lindsley, 1981, Chromosoma 83: 593-617 (fig.)]. Such males also fail to produce a kl-3-specific 300-325 kilodalton sperm polypeptide presumed to be a component of the outer dynein arms (Goldstein, Hardy, and Lindsley, 1982, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 79: 7404-09). Such mutants display an exceedingly low level of fertility at 25 but not at 18 immediately upon eclosion, but not thereafter (Kennison, 1983, Genetics 103: 219-34). Deficiencies for kl-3 are completely sterile, and in addition to the above mutant phenotype, they fail to elaborate the loops (ribbon-like structure) observed in the primary spermatocyte nuclei of normal males by light microscopy and the reticular material ordinarily observed by electron microscopy in spermatocyte nuclei (Hardy et al., 1981). The kl-3 loops are visible in living spermatocytes and in fixed cells stained with the protein-specific dye CBB; these loops are also demonstrated by the polyclonal antibody Sph-155 but do not react with monoclonal antibody S5 (Bonaccorsi et al., 1988).

Comments on Gene Model
Multiple partial annotations correspond to portions of a single gene, kl-3; these are (5' to 3'): CG40992, [gap], CG40936, [gap], CG17629.
Gene model is incomplete due to gap(s) in genomic sequence and fragmented genome assembly.

Transiently named CG40443 in release 3 of the genome annotation.
It is not yet known if "ms(Y)104b" is the same as kl-3.
Primary spermatocyte nuclei exhibit three giant lampbrush-like loops formed by the kl-5, kl-3 and ks-1 Y chromosome fertility factors.
Males mutant for kl-3 fail to assemble the outer dynein arms associated with the peripheral nine microtubule doublets of the sperm-tail axoneme (Hardy, Tokuyasu, and Lindsley, 1981). Such males also fail to produce a kl-3-specific 300-325 kilodalton sperm polypeptide presumed to be a component of the outer dynein arms (Goldstein, Hardy and Lindsley, 198). Such mutants display an exceedingly low level of fertility at 25oC but not at 18oC immediately upon eclosion, but not thereafter (Kennison, 1983). Deficiencies for kl-3 are completely sterile, and in addition to the above mutant phenotype, they fail to elaborate the loops (ribbon-like structure) observed in the primary spermatocyte nuclei of normal males by light microscopy and the reticular material ordinarily observed by electron microscopy in spermatocyte nuclei (Hardy et al., 1981). The kl-3 loops are visible in living spermatocytes and in fixed cells stained with the protein-specific dye CBB; these loops are also demonstrated by the polyclonal antibody Sph-155 but do not react with monoclonal antibody S5 (Bonaccorsi et al., 1988).
