Dec-1 protein, C terminal region The defective chorion-1 gene (dec-1) in Drosophila encodes follicle cell proteins necessary for proper eggshell assembly. Multiple products of the dec-1 gene are formed by alternative RNA splicing and proteolytic processing. Cleavage products include S80 (80 kDa) which is incorporated into the eggshell, and further proteolysis of S80 gives S60 (60 kDa). Alternative splicing generates different carboxyl terminal ends in different protein isoforms, so this is region is the most C terminal region that is present in the main isoforms.
