Gene Summary
bruno 1 (bru1) encodes an RNA binding protein acting in multiple forms of post-transcriptional gene regulation including repression and activation of translation and alternative splicing of pre-mRNAs. The product of bru1 is required for gametogenesis, developmental patterning, and muscle organization. [Date last reviewed: 2018-09-06] (FlyBase Gene Snapshot)

Gene Snapshot
bruno 1 (bru1) encodes an RNA binding protein acting in multiple forms of post-transcriptional gene regulation including repression and activation of translation and alternative splicing of pre-mRNAs. The product of bru1 is required for gametogenesis, developmental patterning, and muscle organization. [Date last reviewed: 2018-09-06]
Phenotypic Description (Red Book; Lindsley and Zimm 1992)
aret: arrest (T. Schupbach and E. Wieschaus)
Female sterile; homozygous females often have underdeveloped ovaries which seem to lack germ cells altogether. In some females a small number of developing egg chambers is found. These never develop beyond the first few stages of oogenesis.
Summary (Interactive Fly)

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

bru1 mRNA is highly expressed in developing IFMs at 30 and 72 hours APF and is maintained at lower levels in adult IFMs but is not in tubular leg or jump muscles.

aret expression at embryonic stages 1-4 is localized to the posterior pole of the embryo.

The 4.0kb aret transcript is expressed specifically in the testis.

Additional Descriptive Data

bru1 protein is localized to the nucleus of flight muscles; it is immunologically undetectable in other adult muscles.

bru1 accumulates in nuclei of flight muscles, but not jump muscles.

bru1 is detectable in 4-cell cysts and reaches high levels in 16-cell cysts.

      aret represses the expression of Sxl through the BRE (Bruno Response Element) sites in the Sxl promoter.

      Cell-free assays indicate that aret represses osk translation by two different mechanisms. The first is by interacting with the cup protein that binds the eIF-4E protein, thus preventing recruitment of the small ribosomal subunit. The second is by inducing oligomerization of osk mRNA which is then sequestered in large RNP complexes that cannot be accessed by the 43S preinitiation complex.

      aret encodes an mRNA binding protein that binds to sequences found in the 3'UTRs of osk and grk.

      Control of germ cell proliferation.

      aret has a function in the cytoblast to cyst transition during early oogenesis.

      aret protein regulates multiple mRNAs involved in gametogenesis and early embryogenesis.

      One readily detectable protein with an apparent molecular weight of 80kD binds specifically to the nos mRNA 3' untranslated region (3'UTR), the protein is called aret. Binding assays demonstrate aret response elements (BRE) exist in the A, B and C region of osk 3' UTR. aret is required for preventing translation of osk mRNA prior to its localisation at the posterior pole of the oocyte.

      Postmeiotic differentiation defect.

      The aret locus affects early oogenesis.

      Mutations cause the production of few, defective, germ cells. In weak alleles their may be small egg chambers that fail to develop.

      Nomenclature comments

      Changed from 'aret/arrest' to 'bru1/bruno 1' to reflect the nomenclature used in first paper to characterize the gene (FBrf0082225), the preferred usage in the literature since, and the subsequent discovery of additional members of the bruno family (FBrf0129832).
