Summary: Enables transporter activator activity. Involved in several processes, including learning or memory; positive regulation of mitochondrial membrane permeability; and regulation of calcineurin-NFAT signaling cascade. Located in cytosol; mitochondrial matrix; and nucleus. Is expressed in adult mushroom body; eye disc; organism; and pole plasm. Used to study Down syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease. Orthologous to human RCAN3 (RCAN family member 3); RCAN1 (regulator of calcineurin 1); and RCAN2 (regulator of calcineurin 2).

What's a GeneRIF?

Data suggest that sra negatively regulates calcineurin by cell-autonomously titrating calcineurin-dependent stabilization of PER and TIM proteins, thereby sustaining high-amplitude behavioral rhythms in Drosophila.
Title: High-Amplitude Circadian Rhythms in Drosophila Driven by Calcineurin-Mediated Post-translational Control of sarah.
sra overexpression augments Abeta42 cytotoxicity in Drosophila.
Title: The calcineurin inhibitor Sarah (Nebula) exacerbates Aβ42 phenotypes in a Drosophila model of Alzheimer's disease.
Our data further suggest that upregulation of Nebula/DSCR1 is neuroprotective in the presence of APP upregulation and provides evidence for calcineurin inhibition as a novel target for therapeutic intervention of Alzheimer's disease .
Title: Nebula/DSCR1 upregulation delays neurodegeneration and protects against APP-induced axonal transport defects by restoring calcineurin and GSK-3β signaling.
findings suggest a mechanism in which Shaggy/GSK-3beta activates calcineurin through Sarah phosphorylation on egg activation in Drosophila
Title: Shaggy/glycogen synthase kinase 3β and phosphorylation of Sarah/regulator of calcineurin are essential for completion of Drosophila female meiosis.
Calcineurin and its regulation by Sra are required for normal sleep in Drosophila
Title: Calcineurin and its regulator sra/DSCR1 are essential for sleep in Drosophila.
we describe a novel role of sra in Drosophila male courtship behavior
Title: The Drosophila calcineurin regulator, Sarah, is involved in male courtship.
Findings imply that restoring the level of any one of these genes dap160/itsn1, synj/synj1, and nla/dscr1 may reduce endocytic defects seen in DS.
Title: Upregulation of three Drosophila homologs of human chromosome 21 genes alters synaptic function: implications for Down syndrome.
both nebula loss-of-function and overexpression mutants exhibit severe learning defects that are attributed by biochemical perturbations rather than maldevelopment of the brain
