Gene Summary
Contributes to endodermal integrity and adhesion between the midgut epithelium and the surrounding visceral muscle. Essential for migration of the primordial midgut cells and for maintaining, but not establishing, cell polarity in the midgut epithelium. Can only partially compensate for the loss of beta-PS integrin during primordial midgut cell migration. The two beta subunits mediate midgut migration by distinct mechanisms: beta-PS requires rhea/Talin and beta-nu does not. Integrin alpha-PS3/beta-nu is required for effective phagocytosis of apoptotic cells during embryonic development and for the phagocytic elimination of S.aureus by mediating the binding of S.aureus peptidoglycan to larval hemocytes, which probably activates a signaling pathway involving Rac1 and Rac2. Not required for the production of antimicrobial peptides during S.aureus. Upon activation by LanA, integrin alpha-PS3/beta-nu activates Fak in presynapsis to suppress neuromuscular junction (NMJ) growth during larval development and during low crawling activity, but not during higher-crawling conditions. Mediates, together with LanA, glutamate receptor-modulated NMJ growth. (UniProt, Q27591)

INTEGRINS -
Integrins are heterodimeric transmembrane receptors composed of an α and β subunit that mediate cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix adhesion. As well as maintaining tissue integrity, they are involved in morphogenesis and development. (Adapted from FBrf0167428).
Protein Function (UniProtKB)
Contributes to endodermal integrity and adhesion between the midgut epithelium and the surrounding visceral muscle. Essential for migration of the primordial midgut cells and for maintaining, but not establishing, cell polarity in the midgut epithelium. Can only partially compensate for the loss of beta-PS integrin during primordial midgut cell migration. The two beta subunits mediate midgut migration by distinct mechanisms: beta-PS requires rhea/Talin and beta-nu does not.

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.

Additional Descriptive Data

βInt-ν protein is found exclusively in the developing midgut endoderm in embryos. Unlike the mRNA, there is no gradient of βInt-ν protein expression in the midgut. In larvae, expression is observed in the midgut imaginal islands, in the gastric caecae, and in the hindgut imaginal ring. Low levels are observed in the proventriculus.

        Embryos transheterozygous for deficiencies that remove βInt-ν develop a normal midgut.

        The βInt-ν gene was identified by PCR, and is expressed in the embryonic midgut endoderm, larval midgut and the midgut adult imaginal cells.
