nau

The gene nautilus is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel au (CG10250, FBgn0002922). It is a protein_coding_gene from Dmel. It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 polypeptides (all unique). Gene sequence location is 3R:23712814..23718357. Its molecular function is described by: DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding; protein dimerization activity. It is involved in the biological process described with: positive regulation of myoblast differentiation; determination of muscle attachment site; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; larval somatic muscle development; muscle organ development. 20 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles manifest in: somatic mesoderm; thorax; germ layer; adult segment; egg chamber. The phenotypic classes of alleles include: flightless; lethal - all die before end of second instar larval stage; viable; phenotype. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderate expression to a trough of extremely low expression. Peak expression observed within 06-18 hour embryonic stages.
