Gene Summary

Bursicon (Burs) encodes a cystine knot protein that dimerizes with the product of Pburs to form the bursicon neurohormone. Bursicon neurohormone is released after adult emergence and acts on the receptor encoded by rk for tanning and hardening of the cuticle and expansion of the wings.

Gene Snapshot

Gene Group (FlyBase)

NEUROPEPTIDES -: Neuropeptides are secreted into the extracellular space where they interact with cell surface receptors (usually G protein coupled receptors). They are extremely diverse, acting as neurotransmitters, neuromodulators, hormones or growth factors. (Adapted from FBrf0211443 and PMID:27813667).

Protein Function (UniProtKB)

Final heterodimeric neurohormone released at the end of the molting cycle, involved in the sclerotization (tanning) of the insect cuticle, melanization and wing spreading. Heterodimer specifically activates the G protein-coupled receptor rk.

(UniProt, Q9VD83)

Summary (Interactive Fly)

neuropeptide hormone that controls cuticle sclerotization and wing expansion behavior - signals through the receptor Rickets to establish polarity, detachment, and migration of the border cells

Model Confidence:

Very high (pLDDT > 90)
Confident (90 > pLDDT > 70)
Low (70 > pLDDT > 50)
Very low (pLDDT < 50)

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

Additional Descriptive Data

Burs transcripts are highly enriched in adult midgut and are undetectable in the adult CNS.

(Scopelliti et al., 2019)

burs transcript is detected in several pairs of neurons in the pharate pupae ventral nerve cord. Strong expression is detected in one neuron in each T3 and A6 segments and 2 neurons in segments A1 to A5. All of these neurons also express CCAP transcript, and one neuron in each A1-A4 segments co-expresses pburs transcript. Expression of burs transcript is very similar to the expression of burs protein.

(Lahr et al., 2012)

RT-PCR analysis indicates that burs transcript levels are low in the third larval stage, gradually increasing during pupal stages and reaching the highest levels in pharate adults. Levels are low in adults.

Additional Descriptive Data

Burs-protein is expressed in a subset of peptidergic neurons in the larval ventral nerve cord. Directly after eclosion expression is detected in around 14 neurons in the posterior part of the thoracico-abdominal ganglion. This number decreases to zero over the first day after eclosion.

(Lee et al., 2013)

burs protein is detected in several pairs of neurons in the pharate pupae ventral nerve cord. Strong expression is detected in one neuron in each T3, A5-A7 segments and 2 neurons in segments A1 to A4. All of these neurons also express CCAP transcript, and one neuron in each A1-A4 segments co-expresses pburs transcript. Expression of burs protein is very similar to the expression of burs transcript.

(Lahr et al., 2012)

burs protein is expressed in a subset of CCAP neurons labeled with ScerGAL4^Ccap.PP in the adult brain, including neurons in the subesophageal ganglion that extend their axons along the midline to the anterior brain.

(Ma et al., 2012)

In the larval ventral nerve cord, burs is prominently expressed in: two prominent pairs of neurons in the subesophageal ganglion; one pair of neurons in each of the first two thoracic neuromeres and two pairs in the third; two pairs of neurons in each of the first four abdominal neuromeres, and one to two pairs in the remaining abdominal neuromeres. In the adult, burs is expressed in a bilateral pair of neurons in the subesophageal ganglion, and in seven bilaterally paired neurons of the third thoracic neuromere and the abdominal ganglion.

Other Comments

The rk receptor and its signal Burs appear to be involved in intercellular communication within the border follicle cell cluster itself during border cell migration, as the Burs signal is only required in the border cells.

(Anllo and Schüpbach, 2016)

Bioactive D.melanogaster bursicon is a heterodimer composed of the burs and pburs polypeptides. burs protein by itself does not have bursicon bioactivity.
