Automatically generated summary

See sections below for more information
The gene male fertility factor kl5 is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\kl-5 (CG40444, FBgn0001315). 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; microtubule binding. Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to be involved in the biological process: microtubule-based movement. 25 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: spermatid; testis; axoneme. 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 during late larval stages, 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-5. Comments on Affy2 ProbeSet: No relevant information because no Affy2 ProbeSet aligns to an exon of kl-5. Gene sequence location is YHet:311..33413.

hide Phenotypic Description from the Red Book (Lindsley & Zimm 1992)
Gene/Allele symbols may differ from current usage
kl-5
Males mutant for kl-5 fail to assemble the outer dynein arms associated with the A tubules of the peripheral doublets of the sperm tail axoneme [Hardy, Tokuyasu, and Lindsley, 1981, Chromosoma 83: 593-617 (fig.)]. Such males also fail to produce kl-5-specific 300-325 kilodalton sperm polypeptide considered to be a component of the outer arms (Goldstein, Hardy, and Lindsley, 1982, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 79: 7404-09). kl-5 mutants exhibit very low level of fertility at 25 but not at 18 and in young but not older males (Kennison, 1983, Genetics 103: 219-34). Deficiencies for kl-5 completely sterile, and in addition to the mutant phenotype they fail to produce aggregates of tubuli normally seen in thin sections of primary spermatocyte nuclei (Hardy et al.). Within the kl-5 fertility region of the spermatocyte nucleus, a loop-forming site has been demonstrated by its reaction with the monoclonal antibody S5 (Bonaccorsi et al., 1988). These loops are stained with the protein-specific dye CBB, but are not visible in living preparations.

Comments on Gene Model
Gene model is incomplete due to gap(s) in genomic sequence and fragmented genome assembly..
Multiple partial annotations correspond to a single gene, kl-5: CG40444 encodes most of gene (significant gaps); penultimate 3' exon represented by CG41497.

Identification: PCR screen for Dynein heavy chain genes.
kl-5 has been cloned and characterised.
kl-5 gene locus encodes a dynein heavy chain, the dynein heavy chain sequences are localised to the kl-5 region of the Y chromosome. These results provide evidence that at least one of the Y chromosome fertility regions encodes a polypeptide required for spermatogenesis.
Primary spermatocyte nuclei exhibit three giant lampbrush-like loops formed by the kl-5, kl-3 and ks-1 Y chromosome fertility factors.
AAGAC satellite DNA repeats which map to the kl-5 and ks-1 loop forming regions are abundantly transcribed in primary spermatocytes. These transcripts are detected at all stages of development of these two loops, do not appear to migrate to the cytoplasm and are degraded when the loops disintegrate during the first meiotic prophase.
Males mutant for kl-5 fail to assemble the outer dynein arms associated with the A tubules of the peripheral doublets of the sperm tail axoneme (Hardy, Tokuyasu, and Lindsley, 1981). Such males also fail to produce kl-5-specific 300-325 kilodalton sperm polypeptide considered to be a component of the outer arms (Goldstein, Hardy and Lindsley, 1982). kl-5 mutants exhibit very low level of fertility at 25oC but not at 18oC and in young but not older males (Kennison, 1983). Deficiencies for kl-5 completely sterile and in addition to the mutant phenotype they fail to produce aggregates of tubuli normally seen in thin sections of primary spermatocyte nuclei (Hardy et al., 1981). Within the kl-5 fertility region of the spermatocyte nucleus, a loop-forming site has been demonstrated by its reaction with the monoclonal antibody S5 (Bonaccorsi et al., 1988). These loops are stained with the protein-specific dye CBB, but are not visible in living preparations.
