caup caupolican [Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly)] - Gene

Summary

Official Symbol: caupprovided by FlyBase
Official Full Name: caupolicanprovided by FlyBase
Primary source: FLYBASE:FBgn0015919
Locus tag: Dmel_CG10605
See related: AllianceGenome:FB:FBgn0015919
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Drosophila melanogaster
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Ecdysozoa; Arthropoda; Hexapoda; Insecta; Pterygota; Neoptera; Endopterygota; Diptera; Brachycera; Muscomorpha; Ephydroidea; Drosophilidae; Drosophila; Sophophora
Also known as: Caup; CG10605; Dmel\CG10605; iro; Iro; iro-C; Iro-C; IRO-C; IroC
Summary: Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including compound eye morphogenesis; imaginal disc-derived wing vein specification; and muscle cell fate commitment. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including cuboidal/columnar epithelium; imaginal disc; presumptive wing vein; segment; and transverse muscle cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital heart disease. Orthologous to several human genes including IRX6 (iroquois homeobox 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

complementary expression of omb and Iro-C establishes the wing hinge/notum fold formation
Title: Complementary expression of optomotor-blind and the Iroquois complex promotes fold formation to separate wing notum and hinge territories.
physical interaction of the Iroquois protein Caupolican with Cyclin E-containing protein complexes, through its IRO box and Cyclin-binding domains, underlies its activity in cell-cycle control.
Title: The Homeodomain Iroquois Proteins Control Cell Cycle Progression and Regulate the Size of Developmental Fields.
Data show that genes araucan and caupolican as novel muscle identity genes that confer lateral transverse muscle identity, and the acquisition of this fate requires that Araucan/Caupolican repress other muscle identity genes such as slouch and vestigial.
Title: Drosophila araucan and caupolican integrate intrinsic and signalling inputs for the acquisition by muscle progenitors of the lateral transverse fate.
Caupolican and mirror, but not araucan, are required for the neural patterning of the lateral notum and are required for stripe expression and, therefore, to specify the muscular attachment sites prepattern.
Title: Prepatterning the Drosophila notum: the three genes of the iroquois complex play intrinsically distinct roles.
Antagonistic and cooperative actions of the EGFR and Dpp pathways on the iroquois genes regulate Drosophila mesothorax specification and patterning.
