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.
Dsub\sc has been cloned: it lacks introns and encodes a single 1.7kb transcript. Sequence comparison between sc and Dsub\sc shows a highly conserved bHLH domain, outside this domain amino acid replacements are not randomly distributed. Two additional conserved domains, of 20 and 36 amino acids, are present near the C-terminus. Dsub\sc protein can cooperate with other D.melanogaster bHLH proteins, Dsub\sc supplies sis-b function when introduced into D.melanogaster transgenic flies mutant for sc.
