Gene Summary
Beadex (Bx) encodes a LIM-only protein that regulates activity of LIM-homeodomain proteins such as the product of ap by binding to form hetero-tetramers. It regulates the activity of the product of ap in the wing disc, and presumably other tissues. [Date last reviewed: 2019-03-07] (FlyBase Gene Snapshot)

Phenotypic Description (Red Book; Lindsley and Zimm 1992)
Bx: Beadex
Male and homozygous female with Beaded-like wings; long, narrow, and excised along both margins; fully viable. Heterozygous female less extreme and overlaps wild type. Some venation abnormality. Development studied by Goldschmidt [1935, Biol. Zentralbl. 55: 535-54 (fig.)]. According to Waddington (1940), embryological effect is same as that of vg. RK2 (RK3 as Bx/+).
Bx2
thumb
Bx2: Beadex-2
Edith M. Wallace, unpublished.
Wings of males and homozygous females narrowed by marginal excision. Wings often bubbly and ragged. Homozygous female fully viable. Bx2/+ less extreme; overlaps wild type. Classifiable in a single dose in triploids (Schultz, 1934, DIS 1: 55). RK1 (RK3 as Bx2/+).
Bx3
Extreme allele usually without the bubbles in the wing. Shortened L5 a constant character (few Bx2 show this). Wings more pointed than Bx2 and hairs at tip of wing clumped. Third-instar larvae show 20-40 degenerating cells in area of wing disk corresponding to future wing margin (D. Fristrom, 1969, Mol. Gen. Genet. 103: 363-79). Scalloping visible in prepupal wing bud [Waddington, 1940, J. Genet. 41: 75-139 (fig.)]. Bx3 in heterozygous combination with a Bx deficiency or hdp-a has normal wing phenotype (Lifschytz and Green, 1979, Mol. Gen. Genet. 171: 153-59). Bx3/+ fully separable. RK1.
BxJ: Beadex of Jollos
Wings reduced to slender strip; only posterior cell present at tip. BxJ/+ have half and BxJ/BxJ one third the normal number of cells in membrane of wing. Femur shortened or legs otherwise abnormal, especially third pair. Halteres abnormal. Homozygous female viable. Interacts with bi to give more nearly normal wings. The only dominant Bx allele not suppressed by a Bx deficiency [e.g., In(1)ClLy4R] or hdp (Lifschytz and Green, 1979, Mol. Gen. Genet. 171: 153-59). Embryology like Bx [Goldschmidt, 1935, Biol. Zentralbl. 55: 535-54; Waddington, 1940, J. Genet. 41: 75-139 (fig.)]. Clonal analysis of wing disk development indicates massive cell loss during third larval instar. Clones of Bx+ cells in BxJ/+ wings that reach the margin but are confined to the dorsal or ventral surface often cause reconstitution of both surfaces and appearance of marginal elements derived from both surfaces (Santamaria and Garcia-Bellido). RK1. 1975, Wilhelm Roux' Arch. Entwicklungsmech. Organ. 178: 233-45.
Bxr: Beadex-recessive
Bxr/+ is normal. Male and homozygous female show less extreme narrowing of wings than Bx. Anterior crossvein short and thickened and that region blistered. May overlap wild type in old crowded cultures at 25, more extreme at 19. RK3A.
Bxr49k
thumb
Bxr49k: Beadex-recessive 49k
From Green, 1953, Z. Indukt. Abstamm. Vererbungsl. 85: 435-49.
Slight scalloping of posterior wing margin only; overlaps wild type. RK3A.
hdp-a
Wings held up to various degrees; may overlap wild type. hdp-a alleles act as dominant suppressors of Bx in either cis or trans (Lifschytz and Green, 1979, Mol. Gen. Genet. 171: 153-59). Lifschytz and Green consider hdp-a mutants to be hypomorphic or amorphic alleles of a gene that is under cis control of Bx+; Bx mutants cause overproduction hdp-a+ product.

Model Confidence:
  • Very high (pLDDT > 90)
  • Confident (90 > pLDDT > 70)
  • Low (70 > pLDDT > 50)
  • Very low (pLDDT < 50)

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

Testis-specificity index

The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data by Vedelek et al., 2018 to indicate the degree of testis enrichment compared to other tissues. Scores range from -2.52 (underrepresented) to 5.2 (very high testis bias).

Additional Descriptive Data

There are two major transcript classes and two promoters for Bx and they show differential expression. Transcripts initiating from the upstream promoter show expression in the wing disc which is restricted to the dorsal compartment and is observed in the wing pouch and notum. Transcripts initiating from the downstream promoter are detected in the wing dics only near the hinge on both the dorsal and ventral sides and are not detected in the notum.

        Bx is required in motor neurons for normal fecundity and fertility.

        S2 cells treated with dsRNA generated against this gene show reduced phagocytosis of Candida albicans compared to untreated cells.

        Over expression 'Beadex' mutations and loss of function 'heldup-a' mutations affect the 3' regulatory and coding components, respectively, of the Bx gene.

        In analogy to their vertebrate counterparts, the gene products of Bx, ap and Chi form a DNA-binding complex, that regulates wing development.

        A wing margin mutation that interacts additively with ct.

        Isolated from a genomic library using a human rhombotin cDNA fragment as a probe, under low stringency conditions.

        Suppression used to select null alleles or deficiencies from treated wild type or Bx3 chromosomes; seven derivatives of Bx3 and those of Bx+ all have "hdp-a" effects as well.

        Bx1 interpreted as mutation in cis-acting control element causing overproduction of hdp-a gene product. Tandem duplication of Bx+(e.g. Bxr) has recessive effect; tandem triplication and quadruplication have dominant Bx effects in combination with a normal X, but not in combination with "hdp-a" alleles or a Bx deficiency. Amorphic or extreme hypomorphic Bx mutations and deficiencies for Bx act as trans-suppressors of Bx1.

        The "mgg, maggot" complementation group does not correspond to Bx ("hdp" loss of function alleles of "Bx" complement the lethal "mgg" alleles), but rather to one of the two distal neighbouring genes, CG15042 or CG15047.

        FlyBase curator comment: "EP443" overexpression phenotype stated to be due to its effect on Bx but orientation of the P{EP} element suggests otherwise.

        FlyBase curator comment: FBrf0104769 suggests that the "mgg, maggot" complementation group may be allelic to Bx (based on non-complementation of mgg[3E] with mutations generated by excision of insertions in the Bx region). However, FBrf0205286 shows that mgg mutants are not allelic to Bx, but rather mgg corresponds to one of the two distal neighbouring genes, CG15042 or CG15047.

        At least three different genetic entities appear to have been designated "hdp" on the basis of similarity of phenotype and map position to the now-lost "hdp" of Fahmy and Fahmy (FBrf0063418). Deak (FBrf0030355) so designated "wup-A" of Hotta and Benzer (FBrf0024284). Lifschytz and Green (FBrf0033647) selected reversions and suppressors of "Bx", both of which had a "held-up" phenotype and were so designated. Engels and Preston (FBrf0035947) selected P-element induced sex-linked mutants with held-up wings; 93% are associated with chromosome rearrangements with one breakpoint in 17C2-3; the other 7% are not associated with rearrangements and act as suppressors of Bx1; the latter group of mutants complement both the other 93% of mutants recovered by Engels and Preston and those described by Deak. Lindsley and Zimm (FBrf0066905) resurrected the name "wupA: wingsupA" for the mutants studied by Deak anddesignated the Bx suppressors "hdp-a" and the mutants associated with 17C2-3 breakpoints "hdp-b". In addition Fahmy (FBrf0063418) describes "rwg": reduced wings, a mutant with the same map position and a slightly different phenotype from other held-up-like mutants; Lindsley and Zimm (FBrf0066905) arbitrarily designated it an "hdp-a" allele. Relation between "hdp-a" and "hdp-b" unclear, they are in the same polytene bands but complement each other completely. They are separated by Bx (Mattox).
