High impact information on Mst89B
- Mat89Bb is separated from Mst89B by at most 100 bp; Mst89B and Mat89Ba are convergently transcribed and their 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) overlap by a minimum of 85 bp [1].
- The absence of Mst89B transcripts at the tip of the testis suggested that the somatic cells in this region do not express Mst89B [1].
- Mst89B transcripts were present throughout spermatogenesis in germline-derived cells, consistent with northern analysis which showed that they were absent in the offspring of tudor flies that lack a germline [1].
Biological context of Mst89B
- Database searches with either the 89Ba(3.1) genomic DNA sequence or conceptual translations of Mst89B or Mat89Bb cDNAs failed to reveal any significant similarities with database entries [1].
Other interactions of Mst89B
- On further investigation, a 3.1-kb subfragment, 89Ba(3.1), was shown to contain a gene with male germline-specific expression (Mst89B) flanked by two genes (Mat89Ba and Mat89Bb) expressed predominantly in the ovaries and embryo of Drosophila melanogaster [1].
