dFUS, SARFH, P19, Sarcoma-associated RNA-binding fly homolog
conserved neurally expressed nuclear RNA binding protein whose mutants exhibit reduced climbing abilities of adult flies and anatomical defects in presynaptic terminals of motoneurons in third instar larvae - negatively regulates the EGFR signaling pathway required for determination of cone cell fate in the eye

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.
Variable use of small exon; supported combination results in frameshift and premature stop in downstream exon.
Gene model reviewed during 5.47
Multiphase exon postulated: exon reading frame differs in alternative transcripts; overlap >20aa.
None of the polypeptides share 100% sequence identity.

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.
Synaptic transmission at the larval neuromuscular junction is severely impaired in caz mutant flies.
caz has been cloned and sequenced, and its expression pattern has been analysed.
caz gene product contains a glycine rich C-terminal domain, but only one RNA recognition motif (RRM) located in the central portion. Intron and exon borders of full length cDNA and genomic clones have been determined and the predicted protein has 403 amino acids and is 48.4kD. UV crosslinking experiments demonstrate general RNA binding activity for the full length protein and the RRM domain.
Isolated from a pupal cDNA library, using a fragment of the fs(1)h coding region containing "pen" repetitive sequences (GGN, where N is any nucleotide) as the probe.
