Phosphorylated in vitro by protein kinase LIMK1 (PubMed:20026655). Phosphorylation is required for inactivation of tsr and for cell proliferation and axon growth (PubMed:15572110). Phosphorylation is negatively regulated by the panthothenate kinase fbl which catalyzes the first step in the conversion of panthothenic acid to coenzyme A (PubMed:22912811).
Dephosphorylated by protein phosphatase ssh which activates tsr.

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).
tsr transcript is detected throughout development, with peaks of expression in late larval and pupal stages.
Comment: epithelium
In stage S9,10 egg chambers, total tsr staining is strong in nurse cells and follicle epithelium, while phosphorylated tsr is strong in nurse cell cytoplasm and ring canals but weak in the follicular epithelium. Both are present in border cells but in distinct patterns. Total tsr is present in an asymmetric pattern with more staining at the leading edge while phosphorylated tsr staining is uniform.

Please Note FlyBase no longer curates genomic clone accessions so this list may not be complete
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.
