Automatically generated summary

See sections below for more information
The gene β-Tubulin at 56D is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\βTub56D (CG9277, FBgn0003887). It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: structural constituent of cytoskeleton; GTP binding. There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: centrosome duplication. 18 alleles are reported. No phenotypic data is available. It has 4 annotated transcripts and 4 annotated polypeptides. Protein features are: Beta tubulin; Beta tubulin, autoregulation binding site; Tubulin; Tubulin, C-terminal; Tubulin, conserved site; Tubulin/FtsZ, 2-layer sandwich domain; Tubulin/FtsZ, C-terminal; Tubulin/FtsZ, GTPase domain. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of extremely high expression to a trough of very high expression. Peak expression observed within 00-18 hour embryonic stages, during early larval stages, at stages throughout the pupal period. Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: High levels of expression observed in all larval and adult organs/tissues. Expression at high levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: adult head, adult eye, larval/adult central nervous system, adult crop, larval/adult midgut, larval/adult hindgut, larval/adult Malpighian tubules, adult heart, larval/adult fat body, larval/adult salivary gland, larval trachea, adult female reproductive system, adult male reproductive system, larval/adult carcass. Comments on Affy2 ProbeSet: ProbeSet 1636530_s_at completely aligns to an exonic region common to each of the 4 FlyBase-annotated transcript isoforms of betaTub56D. Gene sequence location is 2R:15334824..15339122.

hide Phenotypic Description from the Red Book (Lindsley & Zimm 1992)
Gene/Allele symbols may differ from current usage
βTub56D (β1t)
A structural gene for β-tubulin. Its mRNA is maternally stored in the oocytes and expressed in the nurse cells and in early embryos (Natzle and McCarthy, 1984; Gasch et al., 1988); at this stage, the transcripts are evenly distributed throughout the embryo, but later in development they are concentrated in the primordia of the nervous system and their derivatives (the supra-oesophageal ganglion and ventral nerve cord) and in the visceral mesoderm. Since βTub56D is expressed throughout development and in all adult tissues (Rudolph et al., 1987), βTub56D tubulin is probably involved in all the microtubular structures necessary for cell division and cell shape (Raff et al., 1982; Biolojan et al., 1984). It is the major β-tubulin of adult flies in all structures except the testis.

Insertion of a myotube into the epidermis is a prerequisite for the induction of βTub56D transcription; muscle loss (e.g. in rost and insc mutants) abolishes βTub56D transcription in the corresponding apodemes.
Analysis of βTub56D regulatory elements using Ecol\lacZ reporter gene expression.
Ecol\lacZ reporter gene constructs have identified three separate elements localised either far upstream, either promoter proximal or within the intron of βTub56D necessary for the full level of βTub56D gene expression.
Mixtures of ncd or Khc motor domain treated with the zero-length cross linker EDC generates covalently cross linked products of ncd or Khc with βTub56D and ncd or Khc with αTub84B. These results indicate that kinesin family motors of opposite polarity interact with both βTub56D and αTub84B and support a model in which some portion of each ncd or Khc proteins motor domain overlaps adjacent βTub56D and αTub84B subunits.
Gene contains an RNA polymerase II complex which pauses after synthesis of a short transcript. In vivo ultraviolet crosslinking techniques demonstrate phosphorylation of the carboxy terminal domain (CTD) of the large subunit of RNA polymerase II could either regulate the transition of polymerase from a paused to an elongated complex or be a consequence of the transition from paused to elongated.
A fragment of the D.melanogaster βTub56D gene has been used as a probe for in situ hybridisation of Chrysomya rufifacies polytene chromosomes.
Splicing of βTub56D RNA has been studied in B5228 mutant embryos.
βTub56D-lacZ fusions were used to study the expression of βTub56D in muscle attachment sites. Promoter/intron deletion analysis identified a classic 14bp enhancer present in the βTub56D intron in 3 copies: no cooperativity of effect on expression is evident for the enhancer. Expression of βTub56D begins as the muscles make contact with the muscle attachment sites.
The large intron 1 of βTub56D is conserved with β3 tubulin genes. The regulatory regions responsible for expression of βTub56D in somatic cells of the testis are located in the single large intron positioned between the codons of amino acids 19 and 20. Transcription of βTub56D in germ cells is dependent on upstream sequences, deletion analysis demonstrates a short promoter-proximal fragment is responsible.
Ecol\lacZ reporter gene constructs demonstrate that transcription of βTub56D starts shortly after the action of genes which participate in the decision of epidermal versus neural cell fate. Expression is regulated by independent, cell-type specific enhancers in the intron for the PNS and apodemes, while maternal and CNS expression is directed by cooperation between upstream promoter elements and corresponding enhancers in the intron.
The distribution of βTub56D, βTub60D and βTub85D proteins in the testes has been analysed.
The degree of homology between βTub85D and βTub56D is high.
Tubulins are the main structural components of microtubules in mitotic and meiotic spindles, cilia, flagella, neural processes and the cytoskeleton; nontubulin proteins (MAPS or microtubule-associated proteins) are involved along with tubulins in the formation of specialized microtubules (Theurkauf, Baum, Bo and Wensink, 1986; Rudolph, Kimble, Hoyle, Subler and Raff, 1987). Tubulin proteins are found in a wide variety of species from unicellular organisms to man; their biochemical and molecular structure is highly conserved. The α- and β-subunits from different organisms can be combined in vitro into hybrid microtubule structures and there is a high level of primary amino acid sequence identity in the proteins (Sanchez, Natzle, Cleveland, Kirschner and McCarthy, 1980; Raff, 1984). In D.melanogaster, two multigene families, each made up of four members, code for α- and β-tubulins, each tubulin subunit being a 55,000 dalton polypeptide. The tubulin genes in each multigene family are dispersed in the second and/or third chromosomes rather than arranged in clusters. βTub56D is a structural gene for β-tubulin. Its mRNA is maternally stored in the oocytes and expressed in the nurse cells and in early embryos (Natzle and McCarthy, 1984; Gasch, Hinz, Leiss and Renkawitz-Pohl, 1988); at this stage, the transcripts are evenly distributed throughout the embryo, but later in development they are concentrated in the primordia of the nervous system and their derivatives (the supra-oesophageal ganglion and ventral nerve cord) and in the visceral mesoderm. Since βTub56D is expressed throughout development and in all adult tissues (Rudolph, Kimble, Hoyle, Subler and Raff, 1987), βTub56D tubulin is probably involved in all the microtubular structures necessary for cell division and cell shape (Raff, Fuller, Kaufman, Kemphues, Rudolph and Raff, 1982; Biolojan et al., 1984). It is the major β-tubulin of adult flies in all structures except the testis.
