Gene details (from Flybase) | It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. An electronic pipeline based on InterPro domains suggests that it has the molecular function: catalytic activity; nucleotide binding. There is experimental evidence that it is involved in the biological process: determination of adult lifespan; macroautophagy; regulation of defense response to virus; regulation of autophagy; autophagy; larval midgut cell programmed cell death. 11 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: rhabdomere; egg; adult brain. It has 2 annotated transcripts and 2 annotated polypeptides. Protein features are: E1-like protein-activating enzyme Gsa7p/Apg7p; Molybdenum cofactor biosynthesis, MoeB; NAD(P)-binding domain; UBA/THIF-type NAD/FAD binding fold. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of high expression to a trough of low expression. Peak expression observed during late larval stages, during early pupal stages. . |
