title: Identification of a novel Drosophila melanogaster gene, angel, a member of a nested gene cluster at locus 59F4,5.
abstract: The identification of a novel Drosophila melanogaster gene, angel, is presented in this study. angel is located on the right arm of the second chromosome at locus 59F5, close to the nested genes l(2)tid, l(2)not, l(2)rot and l(2)dtl. We describe the genetic and molecular localization of angel and present its temporal expression in the wild-type. The deduced amino acid sequence of the ANG39 protein is characterized by a nuclear localization signal. Furthermore, the central part of the predicted ANG39 protein shows significant homology to the C-terminal portion of the yeast transcriptional effector CCR4.
