Automatically generated summary

See sections below for more information
The gene abrupt is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\ab (CG4807, FBgn0259750). It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor activity. There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: border follicle cell migration; dendrite morphogenesis; neuron development; muscle organ development. 47 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: hypodermal muscle of larval abdomen; organ system subdivision; organ system; adult segment; peripheral nervous system; larval abdominal segment; A1-7 dorsal oblique muscle 3; thoracic segment; hypodermal muscle of larval abdominal 2; abdominal 6 oblique muscle. It has 4 annotated transcripts and 4 annotated polypeptides. Protein features are: BTB/POZ; BTB/POZ fold; BTB/POZ-like; Zinc finger, C2H2; Zinc finger, C2H2-like. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of very low expression. Peak expression observed within 06-18 hour embryonic stages. Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: Expression at moderate levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: larval/adult central nervous system, larval carcass. Comments on Affy2 ProbeSet: ProbeSet 1629702_a_at completely aligns to an exonic region of only a subset of 3 of the 4 FlyBase-annotated transcript isoforms of ab. Gene sequence location is 2L:11210681..11261080.

ab: abrupt
thumb
ab: abrupt
Edith M. Wallace, unpublished.
Vein L5 usually stops after posterior crossvein. Scutellar bristles usually fewer. Wing effect probably acts during contraction period (Waddington). Overlaps wild type. Expression more severe in females than in males and when pupal stage takes place at 20 than at 25. TSP during the first 10% of pupal stage. (Thompson, Bruni, Carbonaro, and Russo, 1988, DIS 67: 86). RK2.
ab2
Vein L5 does not reach margin. Scutellar bristles always fewer than wild type. Hairs parted down midline of thorax and abdomen. Supra-alar bristles sometimes absent. Coxae tend to be thickened. Males sterile and have rotated genitalia. ab/ab2 resembles ab/ab but has a stronger bristle effect. RK2.

ab is expressed in all the cells of the ventral midline starting in stage 9. The only other site of nervous system expression is the stomatogastric nervous system and its precursors. Epidermal expression begins in stage 11 in a pattern of stripes and is uniform by stage 12. ab is expressed in all 30 embryonic abdominal muscles with the highest concentrations in the ventral longitudinal, ventral oblique, and segmental border muscles. ab is also expressed in all imaginal discs.

ab is a repressor of ecdysone signalling and border follicle cell migration.
dsRNA has been made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene. ab RNAi causes an increase in dendrite arborization of ddaD and ddaE neurons. There is an increase in the number and length of lateral branches, which results in an expansion of the coverage field, most noticeably along the anteroposterior (AP) axis. In addition to these defects,ab RNAi also causes frequent cell death, defects in muscle, alterations in the number of MD neurons, defects in dendrite morphogenesis and reproducible defects in da dendrite development.
P-element excision and γ ray induced lethal mutations of the enhancer trap BL97 fail to complement ab.
ab encodes a BTB-zinc finger regulatory protein that controls the specificity of neuromuscular connections.
Loss of vein mutations cause suppression of rhohs.PSt ectopic vein phenotype and enhancement of the rhove-1 loss of vein phenotype.
Identification: Mutations affecting neuromuscular connectivity, using an antibody to Fas2.
Mutations in ab affect individual longitudinal veins: vein specific effects.
kni, tg, tt, ab, cv, cv-2, cv-c and cv-d belong to the radius incompletus phenotypic group within the 'lack-of-vein' mutant class. Loss-of-function alleles at these loci remove stretches of veins in two or more longitudinal veins. Double mutants of this group have additive phenotypes suggesting the genes are vein-specific, and small lanceolate wings. Therefore involved in whole vein-region specification rather than vein differentiation. ab alleles may have pleiotropic effects on leg development or be embryonic lethal.
Loss of function is lethal, with effects on connectivity of segmental nerves; hypomorphic alleles affect the development of wing veins, especially wing vein L5, with effects in coxa, male genitalia and bristles.
