Additional Descriptive Data

RT-PCR analysis indicates that Debcl transcripts are expressed at all stages of development. In situ hybridization reveals that Debcl transcripts are expressed at high levels in early embryos. Expression is also observed in third instar larvae in leg, wing, and eye disc and in the midgut.

        Other Comments

        Gene expression is increased in response to the presence of two copies of Scer\GAL4hs.PB.

        (Liu and Lehmann, 2008)

        debcl is not essential for normal development.

        (Sevrioukov et al., 2007)

        debcl protects neurons from neurodegeneration through the regulation of mitochondrial homeostasis.

        (Senoo-Matsuda et al., 2005)

        dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene causes a phenotype in S2 cells. The reduced mitochondrial membrane potential and increase in cell death caused by treatment of cells with rotenone or 3-NP is enhanced. Cell death induction by treatment with proteasome inhibitors is likewise enhanced, while cell death induction by tunicamycin is not affected. Additionally, debcl knockdown significantly increases the percentage of mitochondria showing abnormal morphologies in S2 cells with intact nuclei and enhances the reduction of activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I +III (NADH-cytochrome c oxidoreductase) and complex II +III (succinate-cytochrome c oxidoreductase) in S2 cells treated with rotenone or 3-NP.

        (Senoo-Matsuda et al., 2005)

        Area matching Drosophila ESTs AI062455 and AA440915.

        (Davies, 2001.3.15)

        debcl both induces apoptosis and demonstrates protective activity when death stimuli are introduced.

        (Brachmann et al., 2000)

        debcl encodes a pro-apoptotic protein that functions in a caspase-dependent manner. debcl is required for developmental apoptosis in the embryo.

        (Colussi et al., 2000)

        debcl appears to promote cell death by inducing both caspase-dependent and independent pathways at the mitochondria.
