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).
Hsc70-4 protein is expressed in all cells throughout embryonic development.
Comment: expression throughout adult brain

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.
The Hsc70-4 protein has two separable functions: chaperone activity and membrane deformation activity. The membrane deforming activity of Hsc70-4 requires oligomerisation and membrane association. The factors that promote the chaperone activity of Hsc70-4 (ATP and the presence of the Sgt cochaperone) simultaneously inhibit its membrane deforming activity. The membrane deforming activity of Hsc70-4 is necessary and sufficient for endosomal microautophagy at synapses, which promotes the turnover of a number of synaptic proteins. Both the chaperone activity and membrane deformation activity of Hsc70-4 are needed to maintain normal levels of synaptic transmission.
Hsc70-4 mutation disrupts clathrin function and affects early steps of the endocytic pathway.
Interacts gentically with: Fmr1
Hsc70-4 is critical for neurotransmitter exocytosis.
Area matching Drosophila EST AI294469.
Identification: Enhancer trap screen designed to discover genes involved in the cellular aspects of defense mechanisms, as well as in melanotic tumor formation processes linked to blood cell dysregulation.
Isolated during a screen for mutations that disrupt Bolwig's organ or Bolwig's nerve development.
The autosomal "FLP-DFS" technique (using the P{ovoD1-18} P{FRT(whs)} P{hsFLP} chromosomes) has been used to identify the specific maternal effect phenotype for the zygotic lethal mutation.
Members of the hsc70 gene family (heat shock cognate genes) that reside within the same intracellular compartment in different organisms share greater amino acid identity than hsc70 proteins from the same organism but different organelles. This pattern of conservation indicates specialisation of hsc70 function.
First recognised by sequence similarity to Hsp70. Transcription is developmentally regulated, but is temperature independent.
