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

None of the polypeptides share 100% sequence identity.
Interacts (via DM14 domains 1 and 3) with shrb; the interaction is direct and blocks access to the surface involved in shrb polymerization (PubMed:22389409, PubMed:27452459, PubMed:28564595). This interaction may be required for the ESCRT-III complex role in multivesicular body formation (PubMed:22389409).
The C2 domain mediates interaction with monophosphorylated phosphatidylinositols PtdIns[3]P, PtdIns[4]P and PtdIns[5]P, and is required for membrane interaction (PubMed:17084357). C2 domains can mediate membrane interactions in a Ca(2+)-dependent or -independent manner; the l(2)gd1 C2 domain lacks three out of five asparagines that are crucial for Ca(2+) binding (Probable). The C2 domain is required for protein stability and cytoplasmic localization, and is essential for l(2)gd1 function (PubMed:22389409).
Contains 4 tandem repeats of the DM14 domain that mediate interaction with the ESCRT-III complex component shrb (PubMed:22389409, PubMed:28564595). The 4 DM14 domains show functional redundancy, particularly domains 1 and 3, however domain 3 is necessary and sufficient for l(2)gd1 function (PubMed:22389409, PubMed:28564595). DM14 domain 3 forms an alpha-helical hairpin loop with a positively charged surface patch that binds a negatively charged surface patch on shrb (PubMed:28564595).

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).

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.
polyclonal
dsRNA has been made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene.
l(2)gd1 has a role in wing vein, eye and bristle formation.
1 allele of l(2)SH0495 recovered in a P-insertion screen.
Mutants display hyperplastic phenotype, with imaginal disc overgrowth.
Endocrine mechanisms responsible for the prolongation of larval life in l(2)gd1 mutants were investigated: results suggest that delayed pupariation is caused by the overgrown imaginal discs inhibiting the production or release of ecdysteroids from the endocrine system.
Mutants at l(2)gd1 exhibit hyperplastic overgrowth.
