tbx5b (E3W6T6) notes
Setup and provenance
- Gene fetched earlier with
just fetch-gene on E3W6T6 (TrEMBL). That accession holds the 31 GOA rows,
experimental and IBA. The genes were not re-fetched.
- Deep research failed. Edison returned 402 Payment Required and the OpenAI key is invalid. It was not
retried. The literature below was researched by hand from the cached publications and from Europe PMC
searches.
Identity and origin
- 422 aa. T-box domain at residues 57-237 (PROSITE). UniProt caution: "Lacks conserved residue(s) required
for the propagation of feature annotation". ZFIN ZDB-GENE-060601-2.
- TGD paralog of tbx5a:
PMID:19925885
PMID:23441045
The 23441045 abstract also states a phylogenetic TGD origin; that sentence contains a "~" character, so it
is not quoted here.
- 49.2% identical to tbx5a overall (compare_pair.py) and 83% in the T-box
PMID:39079985.
PMID:30532148
Expression
Alleles
- A CRISPR allele: 4-bp insertion in intron 1, which causes a splicing defect, a frameshift and a PTC. It may
be subject to NMD and so could trigger transcriptional adaptation; this was not tested.
PMID:30532148
PMID:30532148
- Morpholinos: translation-blocking and splice-blocking, both used in PMID:24759614, and two morpholinos in
PMID:23441045 (ZFIN MRPHLNO-130123-3 and 130702-2).
Function
Annotation decisions (summary)
- ACCEPT:
- MF (IBA/IEA). There is no direct assay of Tbx5b, but there is a conserved T-box, rescue by its own mRNA,
and a mutant phenocopy.
- nucleus, chromatin, regulation of transcription.
- heart looping, heart morphogenesis, heart development.
- pectoral fin development (copy-specific late role).
- NOT swim bladder development.
- KEEP_AS_NON_CORE:
- heart jogging (morpholino-only, but no contradicting mutant; tbx5a jogging rows are UNDECIDED).
- optic nerve and retina (double morphants), cytoplasm, cell fate and pattern specification.
- MARK_AS_OVER_ANNOTATED: cardiac left ventricle formation (IBA, with a propagation_review), epithelium
development (ARBA).
- No NEW terms. The vasculature and somite effects are morpholino-only, and possibly indirect.
