Subject: FB-NG Help Mail: Gene data (problem or question)
comments: The predicted gene structure and protein sequence in release 3.1
for Sinuous (CG10624) is based on an aberrantly spliced cDNA which has a novel
and probably irrelevant c-Terminal sequence. The correct structure and
sequence for the sinuous gene product is given by the representative cDNA with
accession number AY423544. See Schulte,J., Hirschi,A., Tepass,U. and
Beitel,G.J. ' Sinuous is a Drosophila claudin required for septate junction
organization and epithelial tube size control' J. Cell Biol. 164 (2), 313-323
(2004) for details. Look in the materials and methods. We go through a lot of
details of how we determined the correct structure of this gene.
