Interacts with pnr, although weak this interaction is essential. Interacts with the isoform SrpNC of srp. Interacts with CtBP corepressor.
The CCHC FOG-type zinc fingers 1, 4 and 5 directly bind to GATA-type zinc fingers. The Tyr residue adjacent to the last Cys of the CCHC FOG-type zinc finger is essential for the interaction with GATA-type zinc fingers.

ush transcript is detected in early embryos, in third instar larvae, pupae, and at low levels in adults. In situ hybridization to late third instar larval imaginal discs show ush expression to be restricted to specific domains. These domains include the future dorsal-most region of the thorax, part of the hinge region, and the posterior pleura.
Comment: primary and secondary lobes of lymph gland
ush protein is expressed in most lymph gland cells.

Please Note This section lists cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent of the gene model, which may include cDNAs and ESTs of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes. Please see GBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs to the gene model.
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.

ush is a negative regulator of hemocoel, heart and eye development.
Identified as a gene with significant level of mRNA cycling as assessed by expression analysis using high density oligonucleotide arrays with probe generated from adult heads harvested over six time points over the course of a day.
ush has a critical role in several diverse processes of mesoderm differentiation and heart formation.
A member of the ush-group of genes which are required for maintenance of the amnioserosa once it has differentiated.
Mutants affect amnioserosa differentiation as well as germ band retraction.
Mutations in zygotic gene ush do not interact with RpII140wimp.
Zygotically active locus involved in the terminal developmental program in the embryo.
