The gene rhomboid is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\rho (CG1004, FBgn0004635). It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: serine-type endopeptidase activity. There is experimental evidence for 16 unique biological process terms, many of which group under: anatomical structure development; biological regulation; post-embryonic appendage morphogenesis; organ development; post-embryonic organ morphogenesis; response to chemical stimulus; learning or memory; cellular component organization or biogenesis; cell division; associative learning. 68 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: hypodermal muscle of larval abdomen; organ system subdivision; organ system; A1-7 oblique muscle; adult segment; larval abdominal segment 5; embryonic/larval neuron; primordium; A1-7 ventral oblique muscle 1; nervous system. It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide. Protein features are: Peptidase S54, rhomboid; Peptidase S54, rhomboid domain; Peptidase S54, rhomboid, metazoan. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of very low expression. Peak expression observed within 00-18 hour embryonic stages. Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: Expression at moderate levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: adult head, adult eye, larval/adult central nervous system, larval carcass. Comments on Affy2 ProbeSet: ProbeSet 1635462_at completely aligns to an exonic region of the only FlyBase-annotated transcript isoform of rho. Gene sequence location is 3L:1463792..1468475.

From Duncan, 1935, Am. Naturalist 69: 94-96.
Viable alleles exhibit wing venation defects; strong alleles are embryonic lethal. In flies homozygous for viable alleles the L3, L4, and L5 veins do not reach the wing margins (Duncan; Waddington). Developmentally, veins appear complete in prepupa but distal tips are obliterated during the contraction period (Waddington, 1939, 1940). The shortened-vein phenotype is suppressed by px (Waddington), net, and su(ve), and is enhanced by vn, H, Ax, ci, tg2, and ri (Waddington; Diaz-Benjumea and Garcia-Bellido, 1990, Wilhelm Roux's Arch. Dev. Biol 198: 336-54.). Vein-specific modifiers, such as gp, (Bridges and Morgan, 1919, Carnegie Inst. Washington Publ. No. 278: 208) or PL(2)L4a (Thompson, 1976), interact with the effect of ve on L4. The L5 vein seldom extends beyond the posterior crossvein. ve2 is a stronger allele, in which the L2 is also affected (Bertschmann); L2 vein occasionally complete (Thompson, 1976), but other veins do not overlap wild type. Distribution of sense organs (campaniform sensilla and bristles) on L3 is shifted proximally in ve (Spivey and Thompson) When a ve stock is selected for shortened veins, the F1 produced by mating wild-type males to mutant females show terminal gaps in L5 (Thompson and Thoday, 1976). ve/ve/+ intersexes are veinlet, whereas ve/ve/+ triploids are normal, according to Pipkin. Interestingly flies heterozygous for ve and strong embryonic lethal alleles display less severe veinlet phenotypes than ve homozygotes (Bier et al.; Diaz-Benjumea and Garcia-Bellido); furthermore, ve1/ve5 flies appear wild type (Bier, unpublished). Homozygous ve5 embryos exhibit three major types of defects: (1) Dorsoventral defects: Embryos exhibit a deletion of epithelial cells derived from a ventrolateral strip of the blastoderm fate map (i.e., loss of mediolateral cuticular denticles and sensory structures). Other phenotypes resulting from blastoderm patterning defects include failure to complete dorsal closure and development of an abnormal pointed head skeleton (Jurgens et al.; Mayer and Nusslein-Volhard). (2) Midline defects: Mesectodermal cells giving rise to glia and unpaired neurons are abnormal or fail to form. Late developmental consequences include a narrower CNS and pathfinding abnormalities (Mayer and Nusslein-Volhard). (3) Peripheral-nervous-system defects: Two stretch receptor organs (lateral abdominal chordotonal organs) fail to form in lethal ve mutants. The primary chordotonal-organ-precursor cells are likely to be affected since the four progeny sensory-organ cells derived from that precursor cell are missing as a group (Bier et al.). Other late embryonic defects include loss of longitudinal body-wall muscles, ventrally displaced muscle-attachment sites (Bier et al.), and loss of the first row of denticles in abdominal segments (Mayer and Nusslein-Volhard).

Additional Descriptive Data
rho is expressed in a complex pattern during embryogenesis. Expression is first observed at the cellular blastoderm stage in two ventrolateral domains, 7-8 cells wide separated by a 13-15 cell wide unlabeled ventral strip. These domains become narrower and modulated in intensity along the A/P axis. As the mesoderm invaginates, the label moves ventrally and becomes restricted to a single row of cells on either side of the midline. Expression continues in these cells as they meet to form the mesectoderm and persists until germ band retraction. During germ band extension, strong expression is seen in cells that will form tracheal pits and in a single large cell dorsal and posterior to the tracheal pit that is thought to be the precursor of chordotonal organs. During germ band retraction, expression begins in the CNS in a segmentally repeated pattern. At the end of germ band retraction, cells forming the anterior-most row in each abdominal segment are labelled both dorsally and ventrally. In the thoracic segments, only the dorsal cells are labelled.
rho transcripts are detected in embryos, pupae, and adults on northern blots.
rho is expressed in wandering third instar larvae and in early prepupae in a pattern of intersecting stripes that is likely to be the wing vein primordia. Later, its expression is restricted to developing veins.
As the Malphighian tubules start to evert, rho transcript is detected in the tip mother cell, and subsequently in the tip cell.
rho is expressed in follicle cells and in the germline during oogenesis. At oogenesis stage S9, it is expressed in a broad group of cells in the dorsal-anterior end of the egg chamber and by stage S10, expression is restricted to two dorsal-anterior stripes corresponding to the sites of future dorsal respiratory appendages. The early and late oogenesis expression patterns are expanded in fs(1)K10 mutants. In grk and FBgn0003731:Egfr mutants, the early oogenisis pattern is unaffected but the late pattern shows severe restriction of cells expressing FBgn0004635:rho@.

rho is not required for patterning of the dorsal anterior follicular epithelium.
rho protein cleaves S within its transmembrane domain.
msk is involved in the nuclear transportation of rho.
rho, sim and vn are required for the formation of the brain lateral to the foregut cells.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene is tested in an RNAi screen for effects on actin-based lamella formation.
rho protein is localised in the Golgi, where it promotes the cleavage of spi protein.
rho protein appears to be an intramembrane serine protease that directly cleaves spi protein. The putative rho active site is within the membrane bilayer and the spi cleavage site is within its transmembrane domain.
net exhibits a two tiered control in wing vein versus intervein fate by repressing rho transcription and interfering with Egfr signalling downstream of rho.
rho and S function in a synergistic and co-dependent manner, that is independent of spi, to promote vein development through the Egfr/MAPK signalling pathway.
Five EMS induced alleles were identified in a screen for mutations affecting commissure formation in the CNS of the embryo.
rho is required continuously fromm embryonic stage 9-17 to suppress apoptosis in the midline glial (MG) cells. rho may enhance autocrine and paracrine signalling among MG cells.
Candidate gene for quantitative trait (QTL) locus determining bristle number.
The rho NEE enhancer element does not discriminate between TATA-containing and TATA-less promoters.
The differentiation of vein and intervein depends on the outcome of a balance between bs and rho activities, achieved during pupal stages.
Immediately after the movement of the oocyte nucleus to the future dorsal pole a broad activation of the Egfr pathway takes place. As a result, all follicle cells, except the ventral-most rows, express Egfr-target genes. After completion of cell migration, transcription of rho in the dorsal-anterior follicle cells is achieved by activation of the Egfr pathway, in conjunction with signals that may emanate from the anterior, stretch follicle cells. Ectopic activation of rho in the stretch follicle cells can lead to activation of the Egfr pathway in the follicle cells covering the oocyte. Results suggest that rho is responsible for triggering the production or processing of a Egfr ligand that is expressed in the follicle cells.
rho mediates autocrine spi signalling in the follicle cells.
Genetic combinations with mutants of nub cause additive phenotypes.
Study of expression and function of different components of the N pathway in both the wing disc and pupal wings proposes that the establishment of vein thickness utilises a combination of mechanisms. A mechanisms includes repression of rho transcription by HLHmβ and maintenance of Dl expression by rho/Egfr activity.
vvl is required for the specific expression in the tracheal cells of tkv and rho.
In vivo culture of mutant discs from genotypes that are normally embryonic lethal demonstrates rho has no role in wing disc growth.
Clonal analysis suggests salm determines the position of the L2 vein primordium by activating rho expression in neighbouring cells through a locally non-autonomous mechanism. rho then functions to initiate and maintain vein differentiation.
Analysis of rho mutants and targetted rho expression demonstrates the EGF signaling pathway regulates the number of both the dorsal median cells, as well as a set of mesodermal cells that arise next to the midline and express sim.
The function of spi, rho and S appears to be non-autonomous; expression of the precursor only in the midline is sufficient for patterning the ventral ectoderm. Facilitating the expression of spi, rho and S is the only sim-dependent contribution of the midline to patterning the ventral ectoderm, since the mutant sim ectodermal defects can be overcome by expression of secreted spi in the ectoderm. These results suggest a mechanism for generating a graded distribution of secreted spi, which may subsequently give rise to graded activation of Egfr in the ectoderm.
Loss of function mutations in bs are epistatic to loss of function mutations in rho or vn.
The phenotype of a argos null mutant is not observed in a rho mutant background, indicating that rho acts epistatically to argos to regulate the correct number of Ch organs in the embryonic PNS.
The rho protein is concentrated in patches at the apical cell surface. It is possible that rho plaques represent specialized structures defining sites of cell-cell contact at which Egfr signalling is particularly effective.
rho is not required for early expression of sim or vnd in mesectodermal or ventral ectodermal cells, targeted rho expression in embryos results in lateral-to-ventral cell fate shifts in the developing neuroectoderm and midline targeted rho expression can rescue the medial denticle fusion in rho mutant cuticles.
Mutations of rho enhance penetrance of ectopic crossveins in chicgdh-5/EgfrE1 heterozygotes.
Molecular analysis suggests that sna protein acts over distances of 50-150bp to block the activity, but not the binding, of the dl activator to the rho 650bp enhancer.
The spi product triggers the Egfr signaling cascade. Graded activation of the Egfr pathway may normally give rise to a repertoire of discrete cell fates in the ventral ectoderm and graded distribution of spi may be responsible for the graded activation. The rho and S products may act as modulators of Egfr signaling. Epistatic relationships suggest that rho and S may normally facilitate processing of the spi precursor.
Ectopic expression of both rho and Dl in a mutant net background produces ectopic veins of normal thickness. Ectopic expression of rho alone produces whole intervein sectors converted into vein. The pattern of normal+ectopic wing veins resembles wing vein patterns of other flies with more veins than Drosophila.
Double mutant genetic clones with vn have extreme nonautonomous effects in the proliferation of wild type cells in the wing.
Dorsal-ventral patterning is regulated by a signalling pathway that includes Tl and transcription factors, dl, that interact with related enhancers, rho. The κ enhancer from mouse is capable of generating lateral stripes of Ecol\lacZ gene expression in transgenic embryos in a pattern similar to that directed by rho enhancer. Results suggest that enhancers can couple conserved signalling pathways to divergent gene functions, dorso-ventral patterning and mammalian haematopoiesis.
A single sna-binding site in the rho promoter region can mediate repression of rho.
Enhancer piracy lines reveal an unanticipated role for rho in imaginal disc formation and provide evidence that mis-expression of rho is sufficient for converting entire intervein sectors into veins.
Mutation in rho affects sensory organ precursor formation.
rho is required for PNS development in the embryo.
The differentiation of individual mesectoderm cells (MECs) lineages is traced. rho is necessary for determining the correct number of cells in many neuronal MEC lineages. The correct number of midline glia are determined but later become apoptotic in embryos mutant for rho.
rho is involved in the downregulation of Egfr mRNA.
Analysis of mutant embryos determines that growth cones can distinguish between individual muscle fibres during synaptogenesis. Growth cones retain their target preference even when the numbers and patterns of muscle fibres are altered.
The E boxes within the neural ectoderm expression enhancer region (NEE) play a role in neuroectoderm gene expression.
Promoter fusions using elements of the twi, ve, da and sna promoters indicate that low affinity dl-binding sites restrict target gene expression to the presumptive mesoderm, where there are peak levels of dl expression, while high affinity sites in other target genes permit expression in ventrolateral regions where dl levels are intermediate. Activation by low levels of dl in lateral regions depends on cooperative interaction between dl and other basic helix loop helix proteins. Promoters containing the Et (veinlet) or Eds (dl and snail) E boxes display opposite behaviour in da and twi mutants, suggesting they are regulated by different basic helix loop helix proteins.
The gene product is localized on the apical surface of the dorsal-anterior follicle cells surrounding the oocyte. Loss of function mutations cause ventralization of the egg shell and embryo, whereas ectopic expression leads to their dorsalization. Double mutant analysis indicates that rho acts upstream of Toll in dorsal-ventral axis formation, and the action of rho requires the grk-Egfr signaling pathway. rho expression pattern in embryogenesis is altered in fs(1)K10 mutants.
A H{Lw2} insertion at cytological location 62A (line 79) is viable and causes a recessive rough eye phenotype. The H{Lw2} element may have inserted into a gene adjacent to rho causing the rough eye phenotype and is responding to rho enhancer elements or the insertion may be into the rho gene causing an undescribed eye phenotype.
rho is likely to be the earliest known gene to be expressed in the longitudinal wing vein primordia and the rho continues to be expressed in developing wing veins during the partitioning of the wing into vein versus intervein areas.
Role of rho in eye development studied: whereas mutant clones in the eye have only a subtle phenotype, ectopic expression of rho causes non-neural mystery cells to be transformed into photoreceptors.
Expression of rho is blocked in ventral regions by sna. A neural ectoderm expression region (NEE) of 300bp has been defined in the rho promoter, and contains a cluster of dl and basic HLH activator sites closely linked to a sna repressor sites. Mutations in these sites cause predicted changes in the level of expression. Similarity of this system to eve stripe 2 suggests dl and bcd use similar mechanisms to generate their respective stripes.
rho gene product is required for the proper development of the ventralmost cuticle and the CNS midline.
Basic protein structure, comparison of phenotypes and spatial and temporal expression patterns suggest that spi encodes a ligand that functionally interacts with the products of rho and possibly Egfr.
Zygotically active locus involved in the terminal developmental program in the embryo.
Mutations lead to ventrolateral pattern defects and peripheral nervous system abnormalities.
rho is involved in the elaboration of positional information at a ventrolateral level in the embryo. rho acts very early in differentiation pathways to specify the identities of domains and isolated precursor cells. rho, pnt, S and spi all function in the formation of the same chordotonal organs.
Mutations in rho cause pleiotropic phenotypes in embryonic patterns and affect several longitudinal veins.
sim gene product is required for the normal expression of rho.
ve, vn, ci, cg, svs, ast, H, Vno and vvl belong to the vein phenotypic group (Puro, 1982, Droso. Info. Serv. 58:205--208) within the 'lack-of-vein' mutant class. Loss-of-function alleles at these loci remove stretches of veins in two or more longitudinal veins. Double mutations within members of this group remove all veins, have smaller, slightly lanceolate wings, no sensilla and extra chaetae. Some alleles are embryonic lethal.
rho mutants display a pointed head skeleton and deletion of the medial portion in all denticle belts.
Viable alleles exhibit wing venation defects; strong alleles are embryonic lethal. In flies homozygous for viable alleles the L3, L4 and L5 veins do not reach the wing margins (Duncan, 1935; Waddington, 1939). Developmentally, veins appear complete in prepupa but distal tips are obliterated during the contraction period (Waddington, 1939; Waddington, 1940). The shortened-vein phenotype is suppressed by px1 (Waddington), net1, and su(ve)1 and is enhanced by vn1, H1, NAx-1, ci1, tg2 and kniri-1 (Waddington; Diaz-Benjumea and Garcia-Bellido, 1990). Vein-specific modifiers, such as gp1, (Bridges and Morgan, 1919) or PL(2)L4 (Thompson, 1976), interact with the effect of rhove-1 on L4. The L5 vein seldom extends beyond the posterior crossvein. rhove-2 is a stronger allele, in which the L2 is also affected (Bertschmann); L2 vein occasionally complete (Thompson, 1976), but other veins do not overlap wild type. Distribution of sense organs (campaniform sensilla and bristles) on L3 is shifted proximally in rhove-1 (Spivey and Thompson, 1984) When a rhove-1 stock is selected for shortened veins, the F1 produced by mating wild-type males to mutant females show terminal gaps in L5 (Thompson and Thoday, 1976). rhove-1/rhove-1/+ intersexes are veinlet, whereas rhove-1/rhove-1/+ triploids are normal, according to Pipkin. Interestingly flies heterozygous for rhove-1 and strong embryonic lethal alleles display less severe veinlet phenotypes than rhove-1 homozygotes (Bier, Jan and Jan, 1990; Diaz-Benjumea and Garcia-Bellido, 1990); furthermore, rhove-1/rho5 flies appear wild type (Bier, unpublished). Homozygous rho5 embryos exhibit three major types of defects: (1) Dorsoventral defects: Embryos exhibit a deletion of epithelial cells derived from a ventrolateral strip of the blastoderm fate map (i.e., loss of mediolateral cuticular denticles and sensory structures). Other phenotypes resulting from blastoderm patterning defects include failure to complete dorsal closure and development of an abnormal pointed head skeleton (Jurgens et al., 1984; Mayer and Nusslein-Volhard, 1988). (2) Midline defects: Mesectodermal cells giving rise to glia and unpaired neurons are abnormal or fail to form. Late developmental consequences include a narrower CNS and pathfinding abnormalities (Mayer and Nusslein-Volhard, 1988). (3) Peripheral-nervous-system defects: Two stretch receptor organs (lateral abdominal chordotonal organs) fail to form in lethal rhove-1 mutants. The primary chordotonal-organ-precursor cells are likely to be affected since the four progeny sensory-organ cells derived from that precursor cell are missing as a group (Bier, Jan and Jan, 1990). Other late embryonic defects include loss of longitudinal body-wall muscles, ventrally displaced muscle-attachment sites (Bier, Jan and Jan, 1990) and loss of the first row of denticles in abdominal segments (Mayer and Nusslein-Volhard, 1988).
