bmb Encodes a Conserved Predicted Transmembrane Protein(A) Recombinants over total meiotic events are indicated parenthetically in red below the marker name. Candidate genes eliminated based on their WT cDNA sequence are indicated with a red X. A histone gene cluster is indicated as red boxes. Two predicted transposable elements are indicated by black boxes.(B) ORF1.8 encodes a 612 residue protein with a predicted N-terminal signal peptide sequence (SP) followed by a BHD, a coiled-coil (CC), and two C-terminal transmembrane domains (TM) initiating at amino acid residues 363 and 415 (TMpred program) (Hofmann and Stoffel, 1993). Yeast Kar5p is 27% similar (excluding the C-terminal region) to the D. rerio homolog. The red bar corresponds to the recombinant protein used to generate Bmb antibodies.(C) Rescued bmb embryos at 50% epiboly (5.5 hpf) and 24 hpf.See also Figure S1. |
