The gene kismet is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\kis (CG3696, FBgn0086902). It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: ATP-dependent helicase activity. There is experimental evidence for 13 unique biological process terms, many of which group under: single-organism developmental process; cellular component organization or biogenesis; biological regulation; regionalization; neuron differentiation; multicellular organismal development; immune response; localization; determination of adult lifespan; post-embryonic organ morphogenesis; segment specification; short-term memory. 150 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: leg; eye; trichogen cell; mesothoracic tergum; wing; imaginal disc; wing vein. It has 6 annotated transcripts and 6 annotated polypeptides. Protein features are: BRK domain; Chromo domain; Chromo domain-like; Chromo domain/shadow; Helicase, C-terminal; Helicase, superfamily 1/2, ATP-binding domain; SNF2-related. 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 00-12 hour embryonic stages. Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: Nearly all larval and adult tissues/organs expressed at moderate levels. Expression at high levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: larval/adult central nervous system, larval trachea. Expression at moderate levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: adult head, adult eye, adult crop, larval/adult midgut, larval/adult hindgut, larval/adult Malpighian tubules, adult heart, larval/adult fat body, larval/adult salivary gland, adult female reproductive system, adult male accessory gland, larval/adult carcass. Comments on Affy2 ProbeSet: ProbeSet 1636513_a_at completely aligns to an exonic region common to each of the 3 FlyBase-annotated transcript isoforms of kis. Gene sequence location is 2L:210735..250823.

kis: kismet (J.A. Kennison)
Isolated as a dominant suppressor of Pc alleles.
Homozygous lethal. Duplications for kismet strongly enhance
the dominant Pc phenotypes. kismet mutations suppress the
antennal transformations of AntpB, Antp73b, and AntpNs, as
well as the transformations caused by ectopic expression of
Antp protein under the control of a heat-inducible promoter.
kismet mutations in mitotic clones induced during larval
stages transform the fifth abdominal segment into a more anterior segmental identity.
kisS: kismet-Spradling

RNAi screen using dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene causes a greater than three-fold increase in AttA activity in response to heat-killed E.coli after ecdysone treatment in S2 cells.
Loss of zygotic kis function causes homeotic transformations. Loss of maternal kis function causes segmentation defects similar to those caused by mutations in pair-rule genes.
kis is one of the 18 loci identified in a screen for dominant modifiers of Pc and/or Antp phenotypes. Mosaic analysis with mutant alleles reveals homeotic transformations in adult cuticle.
Isolated as a dominant suppressor of Pc alleles. Homozygous lethal. Duplications for kismet strongly enhance the dominant Pc phenotypes. kismet mutations suppress the antennal transformations of AntpB, Antp73b and AntpNs, as well as the transformations caused by ectopic expression of Antp protein under the control of a heat-inducible promoter. kismet mutations in mitotic clones induced during larval stages transform the fifth abdominal segment into a more anterior segmental identity.
