Gene CG9126 should be split.
Comments: hello,
The annotation CG9126 (AE003500; AAF48542) needs splitting in 2.
<up>Note all numbers refer to Release 1 sequences and annotations</up>.
The N-terminal portion (nucleotides 23 to 1695) of the CG9126 cDNA
sequence matches 'Stim' (AF328906), described in Biochem. J. 357
(3):673-685, (2001).
The C-terminal portion (nucleotides 1689 to 3219) of the CG9126 cDNA
sequence matches the N-terminal half of 'Ranbp16' (AF222744).
The annotation therefore needs splitting into 2 genes; Stim and
Ranbp16.
Note, that the 'Stim' (AF328906) and 'Ranbp16' (AF222744) sequences may
overlap at the 3' end of Stim and 5' end of Ranbp16, although both
transcripts are in the same direction.
I also did BLASTP using the CG9126 protein sequence (Q9VXL6) at the
NCBI and the best hits divide nicely into hits that cover either the
N-terminal or C-terminal part of the CG9126 protein sequence and not
both, providing further evidence that this annotation should be split
in two.
In addition, the CG9136 annotation matches part of the C-terminal
portion of 'Ranbp16' (AF222744) and therefore needs merging with
Ranbp16.
