Automatically generated summary

See sections below for more information
The gene knot is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\kn (CG10197, FBgn0001319). It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. It is reported to have molecular function: sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity. There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: innate immune response; response to symbiont; regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; specification of segmental identity, intercalary segment; head segmentation; dendrite morphogenesis; regulation of lamellocyte differentiation; embryonic development via the syncytial blastoderm; imaginal disc-derived wing vein specification. 25 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: adult segment; hypodermal muscle of larval abdomen; organ system subdivision; organ system; adult mesothoracic segment; A1-7 oblique muscle; cephalopharyngeal skeleton; peripheral nervous system; larval abdominal segment 5; nervous system. It has 4 annotated transcripts and 4 annotated polypeptides. Protein features are: Cell surface receptor IPT/TIG; Helix-loop-helix DNA-binding; Immunoglobulin E-set; Immunoglobulin-like fold; Transcription factor COE; Transcription factor COE, conserved site. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderate expression to a trough of extremely low expression. Peak expression observed at stages throughout embryogenesis. Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: Two or more Affy2 ProbeSets identify exons of this gene. This is a summary of the tissue expression peaks exhibited in at least one of these ProbeSets. Expression at moderate levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: larval/adult central nervous system, adult heart. Gene sequence location is 2R:10660152..10694566.

hide Phenotypic Description from the Red Book (Lindsley & Zimm 1992)
Gene/Allele symbols may differ from current usage
kn: knot
Veins L3 and L4 shifted closer together in region of anterior crossvein, which is either extremely thick or eliminated by regional fusion of L3 and L4. Frequently, extra crossvein between L3 and L4 near end of wing. Shift in positions of sensilla and extra chaetae accompanies shift in vein positions. Wing narrowed. Head narrowed and flattened, so the long axis of eye is at oblique angle. May overlap wild type at high temperatures and in late counts. Best at 19. RK2.

Additional Descriptive Data
kn transcripts are expressed in the anterior-most regions of the mandibular segment and also in the cephalic mesoderm.
Transcript is detected in 7 cells anterior to the A/P boundary in third instar wing discs. However, expression is excluded from the D/V boundary that will form the wing margin.

Ectopic expression of kn increases arbor length and represses filopodia/spike formation in class III neurons.
10 alleles of kn have been recovered in a screen for mutations with smo-like mutant phenotypes in clones in the wing.
kn is required for the proper positioning of veins 3 and 4 in the wing and to prevent ectopic venation between them.
kn is required for the formation of the hypopharyngeal lobe and for subsequent differentiation of the ventral arms and lateralgrate of the pharyngeal head skeleton.
kn shows lineage-specific restriction of transcription to the founder of muscle DA3A during muscle development, which depends on the asymmetric segregation of numb gene product and involves repression by N signalling.
In kn mutant embryos the DA3A founder cells form but do not maintain kn transcription and are unable to fuse with neighboring myoblasts, leading to a loss-of-muscle DA3A phenotype.
The specification of the DA3A muscle lineage requires both kn and at least one other transcription factor.
kn is required for the establishment of the PS(-1)/PS0 parasegmental border and formation of the intercalary segment.
kn is a mediator of the short range organizing activity of hh in the wing.
kn has a specific role in hh-mediated patterning of the wing with no appreciable effect on general dpp-mediated wing organisation. kn acts in the hh-responsive cells at the posterior edge of the anterior compartment of the wing, primarily by preventing vein formation by these cells, thus forming a distinct intervein region between veins 3 and 4.
Mutants display hyperplastic phenotype, showing tissue overgrowth in mitotic recombination clones.
Mutations in kn cause extra longitudinal or transverse veins with plexated vein phenotypes. kn, fu and shf act synergistically against Px, px, net, dsr and emc.
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.
