AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.
Low-frequency RNA-Seq exon junction(s) not annotated.
Gene model reviewed during 5.49
None of the polypeptides share 100% sequence identity.
Homodimer; mediated by the ZAD domain (PubMed:36193674). Interacts (via C2H2 type zinc finger 4) with rhi/rhino (via Chromo domain) (PubMed:36193674). Dimerization is required for association with DNA and interaction with rhi/rhino (PubMed:36193674).
The ZAD domain is required for dimerization.
Possesses 2 arrays of C2H2 type zinc fingers (PubMed:36193674). The first, consisting of zinc-fingers 1-4, plays a major role in DNA binding, while the second, consisting of zinc fingers 5-7, only has a minor contribution (PubMed:36193674). C2H2 type zinc finger 4 is required and sufficient for interaction with rhi/rhino but is not required for DNA binding (PubMed:36193674).

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.

The kipf locus harbors an additional 25 amino acid exon, flanked by 109 and 31 nucleotides of intronic sequence up and downstream, respectively, in several laboratory fly strains. Comparison with protein sequences annotated for other Drosophila species confirm the presence of the additional in frame coding sequence, inserted between P347 and K348 of the annotated melanogaster kipf protein. PCR analysis confirmed the absence of the respective DNA sequence from iso1 genomic DNA, which served as the basis of the reference genome.
dsRNA has been made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene. RNAi of CG2678 results in reduced arborization of ddaD and ddaE neurons.
Transcription unit upstream of that of Prat.

Named 'kipferl' because mutants show prominent enrichments of 'Rhino' in crescent-shaped structures at the nuclear envelope that are reminiscent of a famous Austrian pastry.
