AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.
Gene model reviewed during 5.52
There is only one protein coding transcript and one polypeptide associated with this gene
Component of the WMM complex, a N6-methyltransferase complex composed of a catalytic subcomplex, named MAC, and of an associated subcomplex, named MACOM (PubMed:27919077, PubMed:29535189, PubMed:29555755). The MAC subcomplex is composed of Ime4/Mettl3 and Mettl14 (PubMed:29535189, PubMed:29555755). The MACOM subcomplex is composed of fl(2)d, Flacc/Xio, Hakai, vir, and, in some cases of nito (PubMed:27919077, PubMed:29535189, PubMed:29555755). Part of a complex containing fl(2)d, Sxl and vir (PubMed:12444081).

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).

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 JBrowse 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.
vir is a complex locus harbouring female-specific functions that are required for sex determination and dosage compensation as well as functions that are zygotically required for viability in both sexes. Genetic and molecular analyses suggest that vir is required for female-specific splicing of Sxl and of tra pre-mRNA.
