Subject: CG6854
comments: The flybase entry for CG6854 is somewhat misleading. You
indicate that the gene encodes a CTP synthase. In fact the locus
appears to encode at least two different proteins that result from
alternative splicing. One is a CTP synthase and the other is a
transcription factor with homology to Adf-1, Stonewall, and Dip3. The
protein sequence to which you have included a link, Q9VUK9, is the
transcription factor sequence. The transcription factor coding region
may be completely contained within an intron of the CTP synthase
transcript. But there is also a third transcript , which, if real,
gives rise to a hybrid protein that is part transcription factor and
part CTP synthase.
