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.

        Bsg is required within the presynaptic terminal to inhibit non-synchronized evoked vesicle release,

        Bsg is part of a transsynaptic complex regulating synaptic compartmentalization and strength, and co-ordinating plasma membrane and cortical organization.

        Loss of Bsg function from photoreceptors results in misplacement of nuclei, rough endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria, as well as swollen axon terminals.

        There is conflicting complementation data concerning the Bsg locus and mutations in CG31605. These data indicate complex complementation, which is a likely scenerio given that CG31605 is predicted by Gadfly to produce nine different transcripts and two different proteins.

        2 alleles of l(2)SH1217 recovered in a P-insertion screen.

        New annotation (CG31605) in release 3 of the genome annotation.

        Mutants isolated in a screen of the second chromosome identifying genes affecting disc morphology.
