dof, hbr, heartbroken, downstream of FGF receptor, Downstream of FGF
novel signal transduction protein functioning downstream of two FGF receptors - mutations are associated with defects in the migration and later specification of mesodermal and tracheal cells wg via stabilization of the negative elongation factor complex - promotes anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome function during cell cycle exit - acts to generate neuroblast cortical polarity - acts to prevent phenotypic variation

The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data by Vedelek et al., 2018 to indicate the degree of testis enrichment compared to other tissues. Scores range from -2.52 (underrepresented) to 5.2 (very high testis bias).

stumps transcripts are first detected on the ventral side of the embryo in the late syncytial embryo in a region slightly narrower than the mesodermal primordium. During germ band extension, they disappear from the mesoderm. They are observed in tracheal placodes by stage 9/10. As the trachea differentiate, staining disappears in the primary branches and is observed in the secondary branches. stumps transcripts are expressed transiently in the anterior midgut primordium, in parts of the posterior midgut primordium, in a subset of heart cells and in a group of migrating visceral mesoderm cells. Expression is also observed in some glial cells. Later in development expression is observed in parts of the imaginal discs and the brain. The two stumps transcripts appear to be co-expressed everywhere except in the anterior midgut primordium in which only transcript II is expressed.
Transcripts are expressed in ventral cells of the blastoderm embryo. The posterior border coincides with the posterior limit of the ventral furrow. Anteriorly, expression extends up to the anterior pole. Expression continues in the mesoderm. Expression is observed in the tracheal system and in parts of the visceral mesoderm in later embryos.
Prior to stage 11 stumps protein is widely expressed in the embryonic mesoderm. In early stage 11 expression is refined to the dorsal part of the mesoderm and undergoes dynamic modulation in a subset of dorsal cells including the eve-expressing muscle and heart progenitors. stumps protein can also be detected in the ectodermally derived tracheal pits at this stage.

Please Note This section lists cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent of the gene model, which may include cDNAs and ESTs of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes. Please see JBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs to the gene model.
For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.
ChEST reveals this is a target of Mef2.
stumps function promotes FGF-directed cell migrations, either by potentiating the FGF signalling process or by coupling the signal to the cellular machinery required for directed cell movement.
Mutations in stumps are associated with defects in the migration and later specification of mesodermal and tracheal cells.
Mutants exhibit mesodermal spreading (mesodermal cells migrate in an undirected fashion and fail to reach their normal dorsal positions) and cell fate specification loss of function phenotypes.

The gene was named "stumps" because no tracheal branches form in the mutant, except for an occasional short stump.
