Automatically generated summary

See sections below for more information
The gene Chip is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\Chi (CG3924, FBgn0013764). It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: protein binding; transcription factor binding; RNA polymerase II transcription factor binding. There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: chaeta development; regulation of eclosion; axon guidance; transcription, DNA-dependent; nervous system development; chaeta morphogenesis; positive regulation of transcription, DNA-dependent; imaginal disc-derived wing morphogenesis; dendrite guidance; phagocytosis, engulfment. 36 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: organ system subdivision; synaptic neuropil subdomain; antennal segment; adult segment; adult mesothoracic segment; eo support cell; embryonic/larval neuron; postalar bristle; appendage segment; subesophageal ganglion; unguis. It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides. Protein features are: LIM binding protein. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of moderate expression. Peak expression observed within 00-18 hour embryonic stages. Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: Nearly all larval and adult tissues/organs expressed at moderate levels. Expression at moderate levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: adult head, adult eye, larval/adult central nervous system, adult crop, larval midgut, larval/adult hindgut, larval/adult Malpighian tubules, larval/adult fat body, larval/adult salivary gland, larval trachea, adult female reproductive system, adult male accessory gland, larval/adult carcass. Comments on Affy2 ProbeSet: ProbeSet 1627894_s_at completely aligns to an exonic region common to each of the 2 FlyBase-annotated transcript isoforms of Chi. Gene sequence location is 2R:19919062..19921459.

Gene expression is increased in response to the presence of two copies of Scer\GAL4hs.PB.
S2 cells treated with dsRNA generated against this gene show reduced phagocytosis of Candida albicans compared to untreated cells.
tou, pnr and Chi co-operate during neural development.
Ssdp interacts with Chi to regulate development.
The ap:Chi complex may act as a tetramer.
Chi has a role in segmentation.
Chi is an essential cofactor for ap in the regulation of axon guidance.
ap activity depends on the formation of a LIM homeodomain dimer bridged by a dimer of Chi cofactor.
Chi has roles in wing development beyond mediating ap activity and regulating ct.
Chi acts as a cofactor for ap in wing development.
Lack and excess of Chi gene product cause the same phenotype as lack of ap function: dorsal to ventral transformations, generation of new wing margins, wing outgrowths.
The normal function of ap in dorso-ventral compartmentalization in the wing requires the correct proportion of Chi and ap gene product.
Chi is identified as a ubiquitously expressed gene whose protein product interacts with ap LIM domains in the yeast two-hybrid assay.
Mutations in Chi show strong genetic interaction with ap. In spite of its generalized expression, lack of Chi function in genetic mosaics produces specific phenotypes identical to the phenotype of ap mutant clones; i.e., dorsoventral transformation, generation of new wing margins and wing outgrowths. Overexpression of Chi produces a new wing margin, but only where ap is expressed.
Gene isolated in a screen of the second chromosome identifying mutants affecting disc morphology.
In analogy to their vertebrate counterparts, the gene products of Bx, ap and Chi form a DNA-binding complex, that regulates wing development.
Chi cooperates with different LIM domain proteins and other factors to structurally support enhancer-promoter interactions.
Chi, but not mam, modulates expression of a gypsy insertion into Ubx. Chi and mam regulate ct alleles lacking gypsy insertions. sd, mam and Chi cooperate synergistically to regulate ct expression.
Genetic analysis suggests that Chi is involved in facilitating long-distance communication between the wing margin enhancer and the promoter of ct.
