Gene Summary
Nipped-B (Nipped-B) encodes a protein that interacts with the product of Mau2 to form the kollerin complex, which topologically loads the cohesin ring complex onto chromosomes. The product of Nipped-B and cohesin participate in transcriptional regulation and DNA repair. [Date last reviewed: 2019-03-14] (FlyBase Gene Snapshot)

Gene Snapshot
Nipped-B (Nipped-B) encodes a protein that interacts with the product of Mau2 to form the kollerin complex, which topologically loads the cohesin ring complex onto chromosomes. The product of Nipped-B and cohesin participate in transcriptional regulation and DNA repair. [Date last reviewed: 2019-03-14]
Protein Function (UniProtKB)
Plays a structural role in chromatin. Involved in sister chromatid cohesion, probably via an interaction with the cohesin complex. Participates in the transcriptional activation mediated by remote enhancers on genes such as cut and Ubx, possibly by alleviating the cohesin-mediated blocking of enhancer-promoter communication.
(UniProt, Q7PLI2)
Summary (Interactive Fly)

a DNA-binding transcription factor regulates gene expression by controlling cohesin dynamics - regulates of sister chromatid cohesion

  • 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.

          Transiently named CG40281 in release 3 of the genome annotation.

          'Nipped' mutations identify four essential complementation groups, l(2)41Ae, RpL38, Nipped-A and Nipped-B, that play distinct roles in regulating ct and N signalling.

          The Nipped-B protein may function architecturally between enhancers and promoters to facilitate enhancer-promoter interactions.

          Nipped-B influences N receptor signalling or N expression primarily during development of the eye. Nipped-B is particularly antagonistic to the insulator activity of Su(H).

          The Nipped-group genes regulate ct and Ubx.

          "G00522; BDGP:Dm0206 ; BDGP:l (2)02047" was stated as revision.

          'Nipped' mutations disrupt one or more of four recessive lethal complementation groups: l(2)41Ae, RpL38, Nipped-A and Nipped-B.
