Automatically generated summary

See sections below for more information
The gene zipper is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\zip (CG15792, FBgn0265434). It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: myosin light chain binding. There is experimental evidence for 21 unique biological process terms, many of which group under: single-organism developmental process; cellular component organization or biogenesis; localization; embryonic development via the syncytial blastoderm; actin filament-based process; cellular component movement; embryo development ending in birth or egg hatching; muscle cell differentiation; digestive tract development; regionalization. 52 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: organ system; organ system subdivision; non-connected developing system; adult segment; portion of tissue; cytoplasmic part; hypodermal muscle of larval abdomen; multicellular structure; acellular anatomical structure; external compound sense organ; late extended germ band embryo. It has 9 annotated transcripts and 9 annotated polypeptides. Protein features are: IQ motif, EF-hand binding site; Myosin head, motor domain; Myosin tail; Myosin, N-terminal, SH3-like. Gene sequence location is 2R:20878093..20899488.

Mhc-c: Myosin heavy chain-cytoplasmic (D.P. Kiehart)
Encodes a 205 kilodalton myosin heavy chain found in Drosophila cell lines and all Drosophila developmental stages. Antibodies raised against this protein crossreact, but weakly with muscle myosin heavy chain. First appears in preblastoderm embryos; diffusely distributed until syncytial blastoderm at which time localization to cortex and pole cells observed; at cleavage furrow, canals at the time of cellularization; transiently present at points of invagination during gastrulation (Young et al., 1987, 1991).
zip: zipper
The wild-type allele of zipper is expressed in the nervous system during development and was believed to encode an integral membrane protein necessary for normal axon patterning (Zhao et al., 1988); however it has more recently been shown to encode the heavy chain of cytoplasmic myosin (Kierhart). The mutants are embryonic lethals; abnormalities include a small hole in the ventral thorax, distortion of ventral denticle rows, and defects in head involution and dorsal closure (Nusslein-Volhard et al., 1984; Cote et al., 1987). These defects vary in different alleles and in different embryos from the same egg laying (Cote et al., 1987). The nervous system of mutant embryos also differentiates abnormally, showing local defects in the fasciculation pattern of axons (Zhao et al., 1988), as indicated by antibody stains for neurons and their axons. These CNS abnormalities can be detected after germ band shortening and, together with the molecular data, suggested that neurological rather than epidermal defects are the primary ones in zip mutants (Cote et al., 1987).

Comments
A 2017aa zip protein is predicted by translation from the first AUG of the "long" zip transcript. Antibodies directed against a 15aa peptide specific for part of the amino-terminal 45aa extension react with a protein of the expected size providing evidence for its existence in vivo.
zip protein is most similar to metazoan smooth and nonmuscle myosins.

Overexpression of zip in D.melanogaster males results in paternal-effect lethality that mimics the fertilisation defects associated with cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) caused by Wolbachia infection.
dsRNA directed against this gene causes defects in cytokinesis when tested in an RNAi screen in S2 cells.
RNAi screen using dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene causes a binucleation phenotype when assayed in Kc167 cells.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene is tested in an RNAi screen for effects on actin-based lamella formation.
zip is necessary for normal morphology and behaviour of the leading edge cells during embryonic dorsal closure.
zip is required for myofibril formation. zip may function at the muscle termini and the Z line as an actin crosslinker and may act to maintain the structural integrity of the sarcomere.
The zip protein inhibits actomyosin dependent basal protein targeting in neuroblasts.
158 deficiency chromosomes have been screened for second site non-complementation with zip alleles, identifying at least 39 SSNC loci, including Tm1, vkg and Rho1.
Mutation rate at microsatellite loci in 119 lines maintained for approximately 250 generations is estimated to be 6.3x10-6, at least one order of magnitude lower than the mutation rate in mammals.
One of a class of genes with TATA-less promoters that have the conserved DPE sequence.
zip is required for cell sheet movements in embryos. The zip gene product is responsible for a surprisingly diverse array of cell shape changes throughout development.
A serine kinase is tightly associated with l(2)gl. Activation of the serine kinase results in the disassociation of zip from the l(2)gl complex without affecting the homo-oligomerisation of l(2)gl.
Organisation of the transcription unit and alternative splicing of zip are analysed.
The autosomal "FLP-DFS" technique (using the P{ovoD1-18} P{FRT(whs)} P{hsFLP} chromosomes) has been used to study the zygotic lethal mutation.
The p127 protein of the l(2)gl gene is a component of a cytoskeletal network when complexed with a nonmuscle myosin II heavy chain protein, zip.
Severe alleles disrupt cell shape changes required for embryogenesis.
The zip gene product, nonmuscle myosin, is required for generating and/or maintaining the cell shapes that change during the course of morphogenesis and provides a link between myosin and morphogenesis.
Analysis of myosin heavy chain antibody staining in Drosophila tissue culture cells and premyogenic embryos suggests that zip rather than Mhc is associated with the nuclear envelope.
The interaction of zip and br depends on loss of br function and is temperature-dependent. Flies reared at 18oC show a higher penetrance of the mlf phenotype (malformed syndrome), wing malformations and leg defects, than those reared at 25oC.
zip mutant embryos display defects in dorsal closure, head involution, segmentation and neural pathfinding.
The distribution of zip protein during embryogenesis has been analysed.
Fas3, mys, disco, zip, l(2)gl, N and Egfr mutants show an additive phenotype in combination with Fas1TE89Da.
An alternatively spliced exon at the 5' end of zip generates two distinct transcripts. The coding region reveals extensive homology with other conventional myosins.
The zip region is defined by the proximal breakpoint of Df(2R)Kr10 (map position 0 to +3.5) and by the proximal breakpoint of Df(2R)gsb (map position -55 to -49).
Included in genetic and molecular analysis of the zipper-gooseberry region.
Five structural and three functional criteria demonstrate a protein purified from S2, S3 and Kc culture cells is a cytoplasmic myosin.
The gene sequenced by Zhao et al. (Zhao et al., 1988, EMBO J. 7) as zip is not zip but the adjacent gene, uzip.
 
The mutants are embryonic lethals; abnormalities include a small hole in the ventral thorax, distortion of ventral denticle rows and defects in head involution and dorsal closure (FBrf0041708; FBrf0046110). These defects vary in different alleles and in different embryos from the same egg laying (FBrf0046110).
 
Encodes a 205 kilodalton myosin heavy chain found in Drosophila cell lines and all Drosophila developmental stages. Antibodies raised against this protein crossreact, but weakly with muscle myosin heavy chain. First appears in preblastoderm embryos; diffusely distributed until syncytial blastoderm at which time localization to cortex and pole cells observed; at cleavage furrow, canals at the time of cellularization; transiently present at points of invagination during gastrulation (FBrf0046628; FBrf0053751). produces a truncated myosin heavy chain on Western blots and fails to complement zip1 and zip2. Western blots also indicate zip2 fails to accumulate myosin heavy chain.
