Gene or accession: CG10330
cDNA or EST error
Comments: CG10330 and CG10331 are actually pieces a single transcript that
represents the benign gonial cell neoplasm (bgcn) gene. The bgcn mRNA is ~4020
nts. and encodes a protein of 1215 amino acids. Bgcn contains domains related
to RNA helicases and Ankyrin repeats but is missing critical residues for ATP
hydrolysis and RNA unwinding. An accession number will be available shortly.
The bgcn gene includes an intronic gene of unknown function. The sequences for
this intronic gene are included in GadFly as part of CG10330. See Ohlstein et
al., Genetics 155: 1809-1819.
