Phenotypic Description (Red Book; Lindsley and Zimm 1992)

Phox: Phenol oxidase

Structural gene for a phenol oxidase component other than A1, A2, or A3. [PHOX (E.C. 1.10.3.1)]. It is a tyrosinase, oxidizing mono- and o-diphenols. Three electrophoretic variants have been described by Batterham and McKechnie (1980), but no null alleles. The molecular weight of the native enzyme is 108,000 daltons. PHOX is believed to be a dimer with a subunit molecular weight of 54,000 (Batterham and Chambers, 1981).

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).

Other Comments

The molecular weight of Phox is 54kD, which differs from the weight reported for proPO-A1 in FBrf0027149.

Additional comments

The "Phox, Phenol oxidase" gene originally described in FBrf0034818 had been merged with the proPO-A1 gene (and thus with the Black cells (Bc) mutation) in FlyBase. This is probably because in FBrf0064348 it is suggested that Phox may be the same locus as proPO-A1, since it maps to the same location and both proPO-A1 and Phox show monophenol oxidase activity. However, FBrf0036109 determined the molecular weight of Phox to be 54kD, which differs from the weight reported for proPO-A1 in FBrf0027149. Thus the "Phox, Phenol oxidase" gene originally described in FBrf0034818 has been split out into a separate gene in its own right in FlyBase in release FB_2009_09.

(Millburn, 2009.9.4)

"Phox" may correspond to "proPO-A1", since they map to the same location and both show monophenol oxidase activity.

(Asada et al., 1993)

It is unlikely that Phox corresponds to proPO-A1 (the A1 component of phenol oxidase described in FBrf0017315).
