A Drosophila gene that encodes a member of the protein disulfide isomerase/phospholipase C-α family

Screening of a Drosophila genomic DNA library at reduced stringency hybridization conditions using a rat PLCα cDNA probe yielded a gene which encodes a member of the protein disulfide isomerase/PLCα family. The gene has been localized to band 74C on the left arm of the third chromosome and has been...

description Screening of a Drosophila genomic DNA library at reduced stringency hybridization conditions using a rat PLCα cDNA probe yielded a gene which encodes a member of the protein disulfide isomerase/PLCα family. The gene has been localized to band 74C on the left arm of the third chromosome and has been designated dpdi. Northern analysis shows that the dpdi gene encodes a transcript that is 2.3 kb in length and is present throughout development as well as in both heads and bodies of adults. The deduced dpdi protein is 496 amino acids in length and contains two domains exhibiting high similarity to thioredoxin, two regions that are similar to the hormone binding domain of human estrogen receptor, and a sequence of four amino acids (KDEL) at the C-terminus which has been described by others as being responsible for retention of proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum. Overall, dpdi contains a higher similarity to rat protein disulfide isomerase (53% identical) than to rat PLCα (30% identical). However, it is unclear whether dpdi functions in vivo as a PDI or as a PLC, or both. Drosophila with its well characterized genetics and the ability to generate mutants in a gene that has been cloned, provides an excellent system in which to resolve this issue.
