Automatically generated summary

See sections below for more information
The gene Pox neuro is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\Poxn (CG8246, FBgn0003130). It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity. There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: sensory organ development; antennal morphogenesis; adult feeding behavior; imaginal disc-derived wing morphogenesis; imaginal disc-derived leg morphogenesis; response to water; male courtship behavior. 37 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: organ system subdivision; adult segment; peripheral nervous system; nervous system; gustatory sensory organ; adult mesothoracic segment; external compound sense organ; antennal segment; metathoracic les3 neuron; abdominal 4 ventral sensillum campaniformium vc5; larval abdominal segment 5; mouthpart; abdominal 7 ventral sensillum campaniformium vc5; metathoracic posterior fascicle neuron. It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide. Protein features are: Homeodomain-like; Paired box protein, N-terminal; Winged helix-turn-helix transcription repressor DNA-binding. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of low expression to a trough of extremely low expression. Peak expression observed within 06-24 hour embryonic stages. Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: Little or no expression detected in any larval or adult organs/tissues. Comments on Affy2 ProbeSet: ProbeSet 1632977_at completely aligns to an exonic region of the only FlyBase-annotated transcript isoform of Poxn. Gene sequence location is 2R:11714198..11722280.

Gene/Allele symbols may differ from current usage
Pox-n: Paired box-neuro
Pox-n shows tissue-specific, segmentally-repeated expression in the central and peripheral nervous system at about 5 hr after fertilization. Transcripts are apparently expressed in neural precursors of the peripheral and the central nervous system. Cells expressing this gene seem to be clonally related.

Additional Descriptive Data
Poxn protein isexpressed in four clusters of cells per hemisegment, two each in the CNSand PNS. It is first expressed at ~5.5 hours of development in a few cellsin the gnathal segments and in a single cell of each thoracic andabdominal hemisegment. At ~5.75hr, when the single cell starts dividing, asecond, more ventral cell appears. At the same time, the first labelledneuroblasts appear in the CNS at the anterior boundary of eachhemisegment. These consist of a neuroblast or a neuroblast and its firstGMC in each hemisegment. During germ band retraction, the dorsal pair ofPNS cells migrate ventrally to assume lateral positions. At the fast stageof germ band shortening, the pattern comprises two clusters of <8 cells inthe PNS and two neuroblasts and descended cells. After stage 13, Poxnprotein is no longer detected. In the wing discs, expression is seen inthe precursors of the poly-innervated wing margin bristles which are alongthe anterior wing margin. With the exception of the Keilin\'s organs,expression is specific for poly-innervated sense organs.
Expression of Poxn begins at embryonic stages 10-11, in two stripes in the procephalic neurogenic region, which become restricted to the posterior protocerebrum and posterior deuterocerebrum. Poxn is expressed near sv, but never in the same cell.
Poxn transcripts are expressed in segmentally repeated pattern in neural precursors in both the CNS and PNS.

Poxn is required for normal male courtship and fertility. Poxn function is required for the normal development of chemosensory bristles in the labellum, legs and wings.
Poxn is responsible for differentiating chemosensory organs from mechanosensory organs.
The Poxn protein binds to 40 sites on the polytene chromosomes. One of the sites corresponds to the ct locus. Poxn probably has a direct effect on the ct regulatory region.
Poxn expression is independent of ct but dependent on the achaete-scute complex.
The ectopic expression of Poxn transforms ch organs into es organs; this transformation can occur in achaete-scute complex- embryos but not in ct- embryos.
Poxn can control the number of neurons. Poxn can act at a late stage to affect the fate of the undifferentiated neuron.
Ectopic expression of Poxn can induce the transformation of mechanosensory into chemosensory neurons. The neurons innervating the transformed organs follow a pathway typical of chemosensory neurons. Behavioural tests show that these neurons establish connections appropriate to taste-mediating bristles.
Poxn gene product has been characterised and results demonstrate that the gene product is responsible for the poly innervated external sense organs.
In larvae, deletion of Poxn results in the morphological transformation of chemosensory into mechanosensory organs; an overexpression of the same gene induces the reciprocal transformation. Overexpression of Poxn induces the morphological transformation of mechanosensory into chemosensory bristles on the adult legs; the neurons innervating the morphologically transformed bristles follow pathways and establish connections that are appropriate for chemosensory bristles.
Poxn was isolated as it shared a network specific domain with prd that specifies position along the antero posterior axis of the embryo.
