RNAi screen using dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene causes a phenotype when assayed in Kc167 cells: change from round to spindle-shaped, with the formation of F-actin puncta and microtubule extensions. Alterations of cell shape are also evident in S2R+ cells.
Mutations in puc, a known negative regulator of JNK signaling, suppress both the dorsal closure and ventral segment polarity defects associated with a decrease in wg signaling.
puc encodes a phosphatase that regulates signaling through the bsk pathway and participates in a negative feedback loop leading to a transient activity of the bsk signal during dorsal closure.
puc is both a repressor and a target of hep function in the leading edge. The combined and antagonistic functions of hep and puc maintain appropriate levels of puc and dpp activities in migrating epithelia during dorsal closure. These results indicate a leading edge cell identity and dorsal closure depend on a balance between bsk activation and puc repression.
puc is negatively autoregulated in the follicle cells and that depression of puc in the squamous follicle cells at stage 10 is necessary for nurse cell transport.
Ectopic expression of puc can cause defects in dorsal closure, dorsal puckering and denticle belt patterning. These phenotypes overlap those caused by loss of function alleles of puc.
The General Council of the Velcro Group Corporation prohibited the use of the name 'velcro' for this gene, as that would constitute an infringement of trademark.
