capping protein β, capping protein, burned, CapZ, Cap2
regulates nonbundle actin filament assembly during bristle development - acts upstream of the Hippo pathway and functions as a tumor suppressor, antagonized by Enabled, maintains epithelial integrity and prevents JNK-mediated apoptosis, functions in oocyte determination

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

Component of the F-actin capping complex, composed of a heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit (By similarity). Subunit of dynactin, a multiprotein complex part of a tripartite complex with dynein and a adapter, such as BICDL1, BICD2 or HOOK3 (By similarity).

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).
Comment: maternally deposited
cpb transcripts are expressed at fairly constant levels in all developmental stages.
cpb localizes to the Z disc in indirect flight muscle sarcomeres.

Please Note FlyBase no longer curates genomic clone accessions so this list may not be complete
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.
polyclonal
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.
RNAi screen using dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene causes a phenotype when assayed in Kc167 and S2R+ cells: increased or polarized (uneven) accumulation of F-actin.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene is tested in an RNAi screen for effects on actin-based lamella formation.
Identification: in a screen for mutations that cause retinal degeneration in homozygous clones in the eye.
Homozygous clones in the retina are darkly pigmented with no discernible ommatidial organisation. The degeneration has already occurred at eclosion and still occurs in flies reared in complete darkness.
In mutants affecting Actn, an actin crosslinker, capping protein shows allele-specific alterations in its distribution but it is still seen in the Z discs.
