The gene runt is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol run (CG1849, FBgn0003300). It has the cytological map location 19E2. Its sequence location is X:20565468..20568353. Its molecular function is described as: specific RNA polymerase II transcription factor activity; transcription regulator activity; RNA polymerase II transcription factor activity; DNA binding; protein binding; ATP binding; transcription factor activity. It is involved in the biological processes described with 11 unique terms, many of which group under: anatomical structure development; regulation of metabolic process; reproductive developmental process; transcription, DNA-dependent; central nervous system development; system development; embryonic development; regulation of biological process; periodic partitioning by pair rule gene; primary sex determination, soma; sex determination; neuroblast fate commitment; organ development. 92 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with 29 unique terms, many of which group under: anatomical structure; organ system; nervous system; embryonic nervous system; peripheral nervous system; thoracic segment; abdominal ventral denticle belt; embryonic segment; cuticle; larval abdominal segment. It has one annotated transcript and one annotated polypeptide.

Gene/Allele symbols may differ from current usage
run: runt
A pair-rule embryonic lethal; causes deletions of the dentical belts of the mesothoracic and the first, third, fifth, and seventh abdominal segments, extending through the more anterior naked cuticle and into the denticle belts of the next most anterior segments. Deleted regions appear to be replaced by mirror image duplications of the remaining more anterior pattern elements. Deleted regions exceed duplications in size, resulting in shorter embryos. The amount of material deleted varies among segments, alleles, and among animals with the same alleles. Hypomorphic alleles do not remove as much tissue as amorphs, and weak hypomorphic alleles produce occasional survivors missing methathoracic legs or halteres or both and are frequently missing one or more abdominal tergites. run31, among the weakest alleles, survives to adulthood. Deficiencies for run have discernable dominant effects on embryonic development; extra doses of run+ produce anti-runt phenotype, i.e., 30% of males with two doses of run+ display deletions of portions of the dentical belts of A6 and less frequently of A2 and A8; males with three run+ alleles more severely affected with 70% penetrance. run+ postulated to repress eve function and positively regulate ftz; run mutants show expansion of stripes of eve expression and premature disappearance of stripes of ftz expression in the embryo (Frasch and Levine, 1987, Genes Dev. 1: 981-95). ftz+ expression in cellular blastoderm reduced in four anterior stripes; A5-A7 expression abnormal, possibly reflecting pattern duplication; nuclear shape abnormal [Carroll and Scott, 1986, Cell 45: 113-26 (fig.)]. For expression pattern later in development see Kania, Bonner, Duffy, and Gergen (1990, Genes Dev. 4: 1701-13). run is autonomous in gynandropmorphs both for missing and for mirror-image duplicated phenotypes, suggesting that the duplication does not result from proliferation following cell death (Gergen and Wieschaus, 1985, Dev. Biol. 109: 321-35). Also, the earliest embryonic phenotypes are dosage compensated (Gergen, 1987). run embryos produced by homozygous ovarian clones not different from those produced by heterozygous mothers (Wieschaus and Noell, 1986, Roux's Arch. Dev. Biol. 195: 63-73).
