Gene Summary
crossveinless c (cv-c) encodes a RhoGTPase activating protein required for the morphogenesis of many tissues through the regulation of actin organization and localization of basement membrane receptors. It regulates synaptic homeostasis at the neuromuscular junction and is required for sleep homeostasis. [Date last reviewed: 2019-09-26] (FlyBase Gene Snapshot)

Gene Group (FlyBase)
RHO GTPASE ACTIVATING PROTEINS -
RhoGAPs are GTPase activating proteins for Rho family GTPases. (Adapted from PMID:15731001 and FBrf0158741).
Phenotypic Description (Red Book; Lindsley and Zimm 1992)
cv-c: crossveinless-c
Posterior crossvein usually absent or greatly reduced. Anterior crossvein usually present but often detached. Eye flattened or with vertical shallow furrow. Legs weak, especially tarsal joints. Occasionally overlaps wild type. RK2.
Summary (Interactive Fly)

required in tissues actively undergoing morphogenesis -- regulates GTPase function of Rho to promote the coordinated organization of the actin cytoskeleton

Structure
Protein 3D structure   (Predicted by AlphaFold)   (AlphaFold entry A8JR05)

If you don't see a structure in the viewer, refresh your browser.
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).

        cv-c is a mediator of trh and Egfr-induced invagination.

        dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.

        Loss of vein mutations cause suppression of rhohs.PSt ectopic vein phenotype and enhancement of the rhove-1 loss of vein phenotype.

        Mutations in cv-c remove transverse veins or crossveins: crossvein specific. Shows additive interactions with vn, ve, ci, cg, shv, ast, H, Vno, vvl, ri, tg, tt and ab.

        ri, 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 have small lanceolate wings. Genes are involved in whole vein region-specification rather than vein differentiation.

        Sequence Crossreferences
        NCBI Gene - Gene integrates information from a wide range of species. A record may include nomenclature, Reference Sequences (RefSeqs), maps, pathways, variations, phenotypes, and links to genome-, phenotype-, and locus-specific resources worldwide.
        GenBank Nucleotide - A collection of sequences from several sources, including GenBank, RefSeq, TPA, and PDB.
        GenBank Protein - A collection of sequences from several sources, including translations from annotated coding regions in GenBank, RefSeq and TPA, as well as records from SwissProt, PIR, PRF, and PDB.
        RefSeq - A comprehensive, integrated, non-redundant, well-annotated set of reference sequences including genomic, transcript, and protein.
        UniProt/GCRP - The gene-centric reference proteome (GCRP) provides a 1:1 mapping between genes and UniProt accessions in which a single 'canonical' isoform represents the product(s) of each protein-coding gene.
        UniProt/TrEMBL - Automatically annotated and unreviewed records of protein sequence and functional information
        Other crossreferences
        AlphaFold DB - AlphaFold provides open access to protein structure predictions for the human proteome and other key proteins of interest, to accelerate scientific research.
