Expression Data

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).

Other Comments

copia promoter elements show no enhancement of transcription by heat shock in cultured Drosophila cell lines.

(Sneddon and Flavell, 1991)

Expression and processing of the copia\GIP gag precursor in E.coli cells generates a unique laminate structure in E.coli. copia protease in involved in cleaving the gag precursor, a mutation in the active site of the protease results in accumulation of the gag precursor and the laminate structure is not generated.

(Yoshioka et al., 1991)

Variants of copia\GIP were tagged with Ecol\lacZ to study regulation of expression of different protein products from the copia\GIP gene.
