Gene Group (FlyBase)
C2H2 ZINC FINGER TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS -
Zinc finger C2H2 transcription factors are sequence-specific DNA binding proteins that regulate transcription. They possess DNA-binding domains that are formed from repeated Cys2His2 zinc finger motifs. (Adapted from PMID:1835093, FBrf0220103 and FBrf0155739).
Summary (Interactive Fly)

zinc finger transcription factor - has an essential regulatory role in the specification and function of fusion-competent myoblasts

Model Confidence:
  • Very high (pLDDT > 90)
  • Confident (90 > pLDDT > 70)
  • Low (70 > pLDDT > 50)
  • Very low (pLDDT < 50)

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

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).

Additional Descriptive Data

lmd expression is first observed in the embryo at late stage 11 in repeateing patches of visceral mesoderm. Prominent expression is observed in somatic and visceral mesodermal cells throughout stage 12. By stage 13, low levels are seen in repeating groups of mesodermal cells and visceral mesoderm expression has subsided. lmd expression is gone from somatic mesodermal cells before fusion and is never observed in muscle fibers or in heart progenitors.

Expression is observed in mesodermal tissues starting in late embryonic stages.

Additional Descriptive Data

Expression of lmd protein is observed in two bands in the fusion-competent myoblasts of the somatic and visceral mesoderm, a dorsal band corresponding to the fusion-competent myoblasts of the visceral mesoderm and a ventral band corresponding to the fusion-competent myoblasts of the somatic mesoderm.

lmd expression is first observed in the embryo at late stage 11 in repeateing patches of visceral mesoderm. Prominent expression is observed in somatic and visceral mesodermal cells throughout stage 12. By stage 13, low levels are seen in repeating groups of mesodermal cells and visceral mesoderm expression has subsided. lmd expression is gone from somatic mesodermal cells before fusion and is never observed in muscle fibers or in heart progenitors. Co-staining with EcollacZkirre-rP298 and Mef2 markers shows that lmd protein is expressed at high levels in fusion-competent myoblasts and is barely detectable or undetectable in founder cells.

      ChEST reveals this is a target of Mef2.

      lmd is required for fusion-competent myoblasts to differentiate.

      Fusion-competent myoblasts remain as an immature population of mesodermal cells that cannot contribute to muscle formation in mutant embryos, resulting in a failure to form multinucleate muscles.

      lmd mutant embryos show loss of expression of two key differentiation and fusion genes, Mef2 and sns, in fusion-competent myoblasts and completely lack multinucleate somatic muscle fibres. However, founder cells are specified and retain their capacity to differentiate into mononucleate muscle cells.

      lmd is essential for somatic muscle development.

      Identification: DNA microarray analysis comparing patterns of transcription between twi+ and twi- embryos.

      Isolated from a subtractive cDNA library enriched in sequences expressed in the mesoderm.

      A lmd cDNA has been cloned and sequenced. lmd is expressed in the mesoderm.

      Nomenclature comments
      Etymology

      The gene is named "myoblasts incompetent" after the mutant phenotype; mutants show a defect in the differentiation of fusion-competent myoblasts (while there is no apparent requirement for the gene in the differentiation of founder myoblasts).
