Gene details (from Flybase) It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster.
Based on sequence similarity, it is predicted to have molecular function: chromatin binding.
There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter; regulation of antimicrobial peptide biosynthetic process.
8 alleles are reported.
No phenotypic data is available.
It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.
Protein features are: Nucleic acid-binding, OB-fold; Nucleic acid-binding, OB-fold-like; RNA-binding domain, S1; Ribosomal protein S1, RNA-binding domain; SH2 motif; Tex RuvX-like domain; Tex-like domain; Transcription elongation factor Spt6; YqgF/RNase H-like domain.
Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of very high expression to a trough of moderate expression.
Peak expression observed within 00-12 hour embryonic stages.
