Gene Group (FlyBase)

AXONEMAL OUTER ARM DYNEIN HEAVY CHAINS -: Dynein heavy chains are minus end-directed microtubule motor proteins. Axonemal dynein complexes interact with adjacent microtubules in the axoneme. Coordinated binding and release of the axonemal dyneins slide the microtubules relative to each other causing the axoneme to bend driving ciliary and flagellar motion. Axonemal outer arm dynein heavy chains are the microtubule-binding motor protein of the dynein outer arm. (Adapted from FBrf0230280).

Phenotypic Description (Red Book; Lindsley and Zimm 1992)

kl-5

Males mutant for kl-5 fail to assemble the outer dynein arms associated with the A tubules of the peripheral doublets of the sperm tail axoneme [Hardy, Tokuyasu, and Lindsley, 1981, Chromosoma 83: 593-617 (fig.)]. Such males also fail to produce kl-5-specific 300-325 kilodalton sperm polypeptide considered to be a component of the outer arms (Goldstein, Hardy, and Lindsley, 1982, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 79: 7404-09). kl-5 mutants exhibit very low level of fertility at 25 but not at 18 and in young but not older males (Kennison, 1983, Genetics 103: 219-34). Deficiencies for kl-5 completely sterile, and in addition to the mutant phenotype they fail to produce aggregates of tubuli normally seen in thin sections of primary spermatocyte nuclei (Hardy et al.). Within the kl-5 fertility region of the spermatocyte nucleus, a loop-forming site has been demonstrated by its reaction with the monoclonal antibody S5 (Bonaccorsi et al., 1988). These loops are stained with the protein-specific dye CBB, but are not visible in living preparations.

Structure

Protein 3D structure (Predicted by AlphaFold) (AlphaFold entry Q5LJN5)

Model Confidence:

Very high (pLDDT > 90)
Confident (90 > pLDDT > 70)
Low (70 > pLDDT > 50)
Very low (pLDDT < 50)

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

Testis-specificity index

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).

Identification: PCR screen for Dynein heavy chain genes.

(Kurek et al., 1998)

kl-5 has been cloned and characterised.

(Rasmusson et al., 1994)

kl-5 gene locus encodes a dynein heavy chain, the dynein heavy chain sequences are localised to the kl-5 region of the Y chromosome. These results provide evidence that at least one of the Y chromosome fertility regions encodes a polypeptide required for spermatogenesis.

(Gepner and Hays, 1993)

Primary spermatocyte nuclei exhibit three giant lampbrush-like loops formed by the kl-5, kl-3 and ks-1 Y chromosome fertility factors.

(Pisano et al., 1993)

AAGAC satellite DNA repeats which map to the kl-5 and ks-1 loop forming regions are abundantly transcribed in primary spermatocytes. These transcripts are detected at all stages of development of these two loops, do not appear to migrate to the cytoplasm and are degraded when the loops disintegrate during the first meiotic prophase.

(Bonaccorsi et al., 1990)

Males mutant for kl-5 fail to assemble the outer dynein arms associated with the A tubules of the peripheral doublets of the sperm tail axoneme (Hardy, Tokuyasu, and Lindsley, 1981). Such males also fail to produce kl-5-specific 300-325 kilodalton sperm polypeptide considered to be a component of the outer arms (Goldstein, Hardy and Lindsley, 1982). kl-5 mutants exhibit very low level of fertility at 25^oC but not at 18^oC and in young but not older males (Kennison, 1983). Deficiencies for kl-5 completely sterile and in addition to the mutant phenotype they fail to produce aggregates of tubuli normally seen in thin sections of primary spermatocyte nuclei (Hardy et al., 1981). Within the kl-5 fertility region of the spermatocyte nucleus, a loop-forming site has been demonstrated by its reaction with the monoclonal antibody S5 (Bonaccorsi et al., 1988). These loops are stained with the protein-specific dye CBB, but are not visible in living preparations.
