The acquisition of lateral transverse muscle fate requires the repression mediated by ara/caup of other muscle identity genes (such as slou and vg).

S2 cells treated with dsRNA generated against this gene show reduced phagocytosis of Candida albicans compared to untreated cells.

Iroquois complex genes (ara, caup and mirr) are required for the specification of dorsal head structures.

(Cavodeassi et al., 2000)

The localised expression of the three genes of the iroquois complex - IRO-C (ara, caup and mirr) specifies the identity of dorsal cells in the eye. Juxtaposition of IRO-C-expressing and non-expressing cells forms a straight border that promotes growth and serves as a pattern-organising centre in the eye disc.

(Cavodeassi et al., 1999)

The genes of the Iroquois complex (ara, caup and mirr) are necessary for notum specification. The Iro-C genes establish a signalling system that appears to organize development in the notum and dorsal wing hinge (tegula and sclerite) territories.

(Diez del Corral et al., 1999)

When the Iroquois complex is absent, notum cells are transformed into hinge (tegula and sclerite) cells.

A member of the IRO-C (Iroquois complex).

(Netter et al., 1998)

The genes of the IRO-C are coordinately regulated and implicated in similar developmental processes. They are regulated in the eye by the Pc-group and trx-group genes, but not by classical modifiers of position effect variegation. Ventral silencing of the whole IRO-C in the eye occurs at the level of chromatin structure in a manner similar to that of the homeotic gene complexes, perhaps by local compaction of the region into a heterochromatin-like structure involving Pc-group products.

(Netter et al., 1998)

ara-caup expression at patches on the wing, located one at each side of the DV compartment border, is mediated by the hh signal through its induction of high levels of ci protein in anterior cells near to the AP compartment border. High levels of ci activate dpp expression and together ci and dpp positively control ara-caup expression. The posterior border of the patches is defined by repression by en. wg accumulation at the DV border sets, also by repression, the gap between the two patches.

(Gomez-Skarmeta and Modolell, 1996)

The caup gene maps to the Iroquois complex and contributes to the prepattern that regulates expression of ac-sc complex genes and rho. caup is a positive, direct regulator of the ac-sc genes.

(Gomez-Skarmeta et al., 1996)

Gene titration method has been used to search for genes involved in the determination of sense organs. A mutation of ara and caup (formerly iro) demonstrates an interaction with Df(4)M101-62f, a chromosome known to alter the development of the PNS.

(Dambly-Chaudiere and Leyns, 1992)

In mutants for the Iroquois gene complex, two lateral bands of the notum are completely devoid of sense organs.

The "caup" gene is named after a hero of the Araucanian American-Indian tribe.

(Gomez-Skarmeta et al., 1996)

The 'Iroquois' gene complex is named after the native American Iroquois tribe, also called Mohawks, which shaved all but a medial stripe of hairs on the head.

(Leyns et al., 1996)

"Iroquois" is the name given to the gene complex by analogy with the American tribe that have a haircut ascribed to the Mohawk nation.
