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 5.47
Gene model reviewed during 5.55
Low-frequency RNA-Seq exon junction(s) not annotated.
Shares 5' exon(s) with upstream non-coding gene; shared promoter.
2.476 (longest cDNA)
There is only one protein coding transcript and one polypeptide associated with this gene
731 (aa); 84 (kD predicted)
Interacts with key to form the I-kappa-B kinase complex. In vitro, interacts with cact.
Autophosphorylated; upon LPS stimulation it is transiently activated, and can be autophosphorylated.

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).
Comment: maternally deposited
IKK is constitutively expressed at all developmental stages.

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.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.
A small fraction of embryos produced by homozygous mutant females show a weakly dorsalized phenotype.
Identification: as a mutation that fails to induce expression of Ecol\lacZDpt.PR normally in response to infection. 2 alleles have been obtained.
ird5 is required for the activation of the antibacterial immune response genes.
Identification: transcription unit identified during molecular analysis of the msps genomic region.
Encodes a Drosophila I-ΚB kinase.
Identification: EMS screen for mutations that prevent Dpt expression in response to infection.
Mutants exhibit a constitutive Dif nuclear localisation.
