Component of some E3 complex at least composed of sina, ebi and phyl. Interacts with eff.
The RING-type zinc finger domain is essential for ubiquitin ligase activity.
The SBD domain (substrate-binding domain) mediates the interaction with substrate proteins. It is related to the TRAF family.

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).

sina protein is expressed in the eye imaginal disc. A low level of staining is observed all over the disc with an elevated level in a stripe just anterior to the morphogenetic furrow and in subsets of cells posterior to the furrow. Staining was especially prominant in large rounded cells located on the apical surface of the epithelium that are thought to be cells undergoing mitosis just anterior and posterior to the furrow. Staining extends from the furrow to the posterior end of the disc and is intense in cells associated with developing ommatidia. The earliest stage of strong sina protein expression is at the five-cell precluster stage, three columns back from the furrow at which time strong sina expression is seen in R3 and R4 precursor cells. After the precluster stage, R1 and R6 cells stain as they associate with the cluster followed by staining of the R7 precursor cell. The nuclei of the cone cells also stain intensely as they join the cluster. As ommatidial development progresses, staining remains strong in cone cells, R3, R4, and R7. In addition, staining is observed in the peripodial epithelia of the eye-antennal, wing and leg discs as well as in midgut, hindgut, and fat tissues. In retinas from 40hr pupae, staining is evident in all ommatidial cells, including cone cells, photoreceptor cells R1-R8, and pigment cells.

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.

sina is involved in external sensory organ development.
Murine homologues of sina have been identified.
sev and sina act in a pathway required for neuronal development, rather than R7 cell fate per se.
The phl serine/threonine kinase plays a crucial role in the R7 pathway: genetic evidence suggests that phl acts downstream of Ras85D and upstream of sina in this signal transduction pathway.
Some aspect of R7 differentiation is independent of the genetic pathway involving sev, boss and sina as some P{HZ}klgH214 expression is present in R7 of sina mutants.
In contrast to D.melanogaster, where the sina gene is located within an intron of Rh4, Dvir\sina and Dvir\Rh4 are widely separated in D.virilis. This different structural arrangement may have been caused by the translocation of the Dvir\Rh4 gene to a different chromosomal location by a retrotransposition event in D.virilis.
sina has been identified and characterised. The sina gene product acts early in the specification of the R7 photoreceptor cell, at the time when R7 receives and interprets developmental signals from neighbouring cells. It may act by regulating gene expression. Function of the sina gene is only required in R7 for correct R7 cell development. The sina transcription unit is located completely within the intron of Rh4 and is orientated in the opposite direction to Rh4.
