DaPKC, atypical PKC, l(2)k06403, aPKCζ, PKC
kinase regulating asymmetric cell division - member of the conserved Par complex (aPKC/baz/par-6) that is asymmetrically localized to the apical cortex, where it phosphorylates and thus excludes the basal determinants Mira and Numb - involved in neuroblast proliferation and self-renewal.

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

Stop-codon suppression (UGA) postulated; FBrf0216884.
Tissue-specific extension of 3' UTRs observed during later stages (FBrf0218523, FBrf0219848); all variants may not be annotated

Interacts with baz; the interaction is required for apical localization of aPKC in neuroblasts and epithelial cells. Interacts with Dap160; the interaction promotes aPKC apical localization and kinase activity. Interacts with and phosphorylates l(2)gl and yrt. Interacts with crb and ref(2)P. Forms a complex with baz, fz and Patj.

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: enriched at cell borders and apical cortex; forms continuous band around cell circumference
Comment: not in the peribouton area
In stage 13 embryos aPKC is expressed in Malpighian tubule Type II (stellate) cells, particularly those that contact the tubule lumen but is lower than in the neighboring Malpighian tubule Type I (principal) 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.
