OTHER DNA BINDING DOMAIN TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS -
The Other DNA binding domain transcription factors group is a collection of DNA-binding transcription factors that do not fit into any of the other major domain-based transcription factor groups.
Phenotypic Description (Red Book; Lindsley and Zimm 1992)
l(3)1215
Homozygotes die as pharate adults. Discs giving rise to segmented appendages develop abnormally; legs much shorter than normal; normal numbers of foreshortened segments with reduced numbers of bristles. Tibias of all legs show mirror-image duplication of distal elements with inverted polarity with indications of incipient joint development at the plane of symmetry; other segments not so affected although some pattern deficiencies and bristles with reversed polarity are observed. Tarsi unsegmented. Antennal joints either abnormal or absent; second segment with reduced number of bristles.

Additional Descriptive Data

TfAP-2-protein co-localizes with Scer\GAL4Tdc2.PC, a marker for octopaminergic neurons, in the adult gnathal ganglion and in parts of the optic lobe. In addition, TfAP-2-protein is detected in Scer\GAL4Tdc2.PC-negative neurons throughout the brain.

(Williams et al., 2014)

TfAP-2 protein in expressed in three regions of the third instar male genital disc: in the A9 primordium in a medial domain on the ventral surface that encompasses the bnl-expressing cells; in the center of each half of the dorsal side of the A9 primordium; and in the center of each half of the A10 primordium.

(Chatterjee et al., 2011)

TfAP-2 protein is localized to the segment boundaries of all leg segments in leg discs, where it is expressed in a broad domain that spans the joint constriction; expression is distal to that of nub.

              Additional comments

              Renamed from 'AP-2' to 'Transcription factor AP-2' / 'TfAP-2' to avoid further confusion with the genes encoding subunits of the Adaptor Protein complex 2 (AP-2), specifically the 'Adaptor Protein complex 2, α subunit' / 'AP-2α' gene. The 'Transcription factor AP-2' / 'TfAP-2' name and symbol were used as these mirror the HGNC nomenclature for the orthologous human gene, and are clear and informative.

              Other Comments

              AP-2 is an important mediator of N activity in leg development.

              (Kerber et al., 2001)

              AP-2 is expressed in a spatio temporally restricted manner during embryogenesis with major sites of expression in the head and nervous system.
