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

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).
Eye-enriched transcripts determined by ratio of expression level in wild-type heads. versus expression level in so heads.

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.
Analysis of variance of developmental time and viability of pteridine pathway mutants in sf, se, Hn, dke and bw, indicated that viability of induced and natural population alleles is the same whereas developmental time tends to be longer for induced mutations as compared to natural population alleles.
se mutants are deficient in levels of 'quench spot' and drosopterins. 'Quench spot' is proposed to be a precursor of drosopterins and is formed from the sepiapterin synthase intermediate.
Thought to be the structural gene for the enzyme PDA synthetase which catalyzes the conversion of 6-pyruvoyltetrahydropterin to 2-amino-4-oxo-6-acetyl-7,8-dihydro-3H,9H-pyrimido4,5,6-1,4 diazepine (=PDA), which is a precursor of the red drosopterin pigments. The enzyme has been partially purified and has a molecular weight of 48,000 daltons (Wiederrecht and Brown, 1984). Pigment of ocelli normal. Chromatographically, se eyes characterized by having no red pigment <up>e.g. drosopterin and isodrosopterin (McKay, 1972)</up> and an accumulation of yellow pigment (Hadorn and Mitchell, 1951; Ziegler-Gunder and Hadorn, 1958). Three yellow pigments identified are 6- derivatives of 2-amino-4-hydroxy-7,8-dihydropteridine; the most abundant is sepiapterin, the 6-lactyl derivative; minor species are isosepiapterin (Viscontini and Mohlmann, 1959; Forrest, VanBaalen, and Myers, 1959) and neosepiapterin (Takikawa, 1973; Sugiura, Takikawa, Tsusue and Goto, 1973), which are the 6-proprionyl and 6-acetyl derivatives respectively; the latter compound shown to be D-erythro-neopterin by Katoh and Arai (1974). Other pteridines present in greater-than-normal amounts <up>e.g. isoxanthopterin II, xanthopterin I and biopterin (McKay)</up>. Eye color autonomous in se eye discs transplanted into wild-type hosts (Beadle and Ephrussi, 1936). pn se flies have 10% amount of sepiapterin of se alone (Lifschytz and Falk, 1969); dor se displays reduced viability (Lucchesi, 1968).

FlyBase Curator comment: Note that (at least) three genes have been referred to as 'GstO1' (or a slight variant thereof) in the literature: CG6662 (in FBrf0217315), CG6673 (in FBrf0217543) and CG6781/se (in FBrf0191145). FlyBase has used 'GstO1' as the official symbol for CG6662 based on FBrf0217315 as this was the first peer-reviewed research paper to name the gene, and it presents a unified and systematic nomenclature for all Gst genes.
