The gene tartan is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\trn (CG11280, FBgn0010452). It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. Its molecular function is unknown. There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: motor neuron axon guidance; imaginal disc-derived wing morphogenesis; open tracheal system development; branch fusion, open tracheal system. 13 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: organ system; hypodermal muscle of larval abdomen; A1-7 transverse muscle; multicellular structure; organ system subdivision; larval abdominal segment; peripheral nervous system; thoracic segment; non-connected developing system; late extended germ band embryo. It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides. Protein features are: Cysteine-rich flanking region, C-terminal; Leucine-rich repeat; Leucine-rich repeat, typical subtype; Leucine-rich repeat-containing N-terminal. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of very low expression. Peak expression observed within 00-12 hour embryonic stages. Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: Expression at high levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: larval central nervous system. Expression at moderate levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: adult central nervous system. Comments on Affy2 ProbeSet: ProbeSet 1639235_at completely aligns to an exonic region of the only FlyBase-annotated transcript isoform of trn. Gene sequence location is 3L:13107371..13111177.

trn transcripts are detected at all stages of development on northern blots with a peak in 3-12hr embryos. By in situ hybridization, they are first detected at embryonic stage 5 in 8 transverse stripes, the seven most posterior of which correspond to the even pair-rule stripes. At stage 8, four longitudinal trn-expressing stripes appear in the ventrolateral region of the embryo. These coincide with the medial and lateral columns of ac expression. At this time, trn is also expressed in patches of cells on the head that will probably give rise to the brain and anterior sense organs. From stage 8 on, a complex and dynamic pattern of expression is observed involving lateral and longitudinal stripes. From stage 9 on, expression is observed in developing PNS cells including the ventral, lateral, and dorsal sense organs. During stages 15 and 16, trn expression is observed transiently in the stomodeum, proctodeum, and in a short region of the hindgut. In stages 16 and 17 expression is observed in the CNS. During larval and pupal stages, trn expression is associated with the developing CNS and PNS. In third instar larval leg, wing, and eye-antennal discs, regions of trn expression coincide with positions of developing sense organs as well as the inner and outer proliferation centers of the optic lobe. In the eye disc, trn transcripts are found in a repeating pattern at the anterior edge of the morphogenetic furrow and in a subset of developing photoreceptor cells posterior to the furrow.

This section lists
cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent

of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes.

to the gene model.
The primary target genes of Egfr are pnt, vnd and Fas3, these are induced in different ectodermal domains. Secondary target genes oc, argos and trn are activated by pnt in response to Egfr signalling. The proper induction of these genes requires the concomitant inactivation of aop, mediated by Egfr signalling.
trn is required for cell surface interactions important for normal organization of epidermal and subepidermal structures. Expression of the trn pair rule stripes requires ftz and ems.
