Akirin protein is broadly distributed throughout the genome.
(A,B) Polytene chromosomes were prepared from wild-type larvae, immunostained with antibody against Akirin and counterstained with DAPI to visualize DNA.

Identification of a candidate akirin enhancer sequence
Akirin, a small nuclear protein with conserved function across eukaryotes, is a critical determinant in the development of functional, robust cardiac and skeletal patterning and musculature.

Akirin‐1 expression blocks dexmethosone induced satellite cell dysfunction
Glucocorticoids are elevated in many pathological conditions and are associated with muscle loss, but the mechanisms are not fully understood. Defects in satellite cell function contribute to the development of muscle atrophy. Here, we demonstrated a new mechanism of dexamethasone‐induced muscle atrophy by suppression of satellite ...

Akirins are highly conserved nuclear proteins required for NF-κB-dependent gene expression in drosophila and mice [PDF]
During a genome-wide screen with RNA-mediated interference, we isolated CG8580 as a gene involved in the innate immune response of Drosophila melanogaster. CG8580, which we called Akirin, encoded a protein that acted in parallel with the NF-kappaB transcription factor downstream of the Imd pathway and was required for defense against Gram-negative ...

Investigating the molecular function of Akirin during skeletal myogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
The specification and differentiation of muscle precursor cells, or myoblasts, by the action of the mesodermal and muscle transcription regulator Twist is a key event in the formation of the Drosophila larval musculature.

Akirin interacts both genetically and physically with Twist.
(A) Lateral views of stage 16 wild-type (wt) and embryos heterozygous for both twist and akirin (twi1/+; akirin2/+ and twi1/+; akirin3/+) stained with tropomyosin antibodies to visualize body wall muscles.

Analysis of novel heart defects in akirin mutants
Among the metazoans the heart is one of the earliest discrete organ structures to form during embryogenesis, in a process highly conserved across the phyla.

Akirin specifies NF‐κB selectivity of Drosophila innate immune response via chromatin remodeling
The network of NF-κB-dependent transcription that activates both pro- and anti-inflammatory genes in mammals is still unclear. As NF-κB factors are evolutionarily conserved, we used Drosophila to understand this network. The NF-κB transcription factor Relish activates effector gene expression following Gram-negative bacterial immune challenge. Here, we
