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).
Comment: reported as dorsal/lateral sensory complexes
dco transcripts are expressed in photoreceptor cells in the eye. They are also expressed in a wide region between the optic lobe and the central brain which includes the lateral neurons. They are expressed in the same pattern as per transcripts. No evidence of circadian cycling was observed for dco transcripts.
dco is expressed at similar levels in both larval and pupal stages of eye development.
dco is present in nurse cells at all stages of oogenesis with the most intense signal seen in early stages (S1-4). It is expressed in the oocyte at later stages and continues to be expressed in nurse cells. It is first expressed in follicle cells at later stages (S8,9) and is not present in all follicle cells which results in a patchy expression pattern.
Levels of dco protein do not oscillate, and are present at at all times of day.

For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.

dco loss of function mutants show strong effects on cell survival and growth control in imaginal discs.
The dco protein is a crucial component in the mechanism that links cell survival during proliferation to growth arrest in imaginal discs.
The gene product of the dco locus regulates per protein accumulation. The function of dco may be to reduce the stability and thus the level of accumulation of monomeric per proteins, promoting the delay between per/tim transcription and the function of the per/tim protein complex, which is essential for molecular rhythmicity.
Some of the proteins of apico-lateral junctions are required both for apico-basal cell polarity and for the signalling mechanisms controlling cell proliferation, whereas others are required more specifically in cell-cell signalling.
Mutants display hyperplastic phenotype, imaginal disc overgrowth.
Endocrine mechanisms responsible for the prolongation of larval life in dco mutants have been investigated: results suggest that delayed pupariation is caused by the overgrown imaginal discs inhibiting the production or release of ecdysteroids from the endocrine system.
Reduced ecdysteroid titer and delayed or blocked metamorphosis in mutants may be a result of altered neuropeptide production, which is probably secondary to the imaginal disc overgrowth.
