Gene Snapshot
Bicaudal C (BicC) encodes an RNA binding protein that interacts with the deadenylase encoded by twin and negatively regulates target mRNAs. It is required for oogenesis and is a maternally-expressed gene involved in embryonic patterning. [Date last reviewed: 2019-03-07]

Protein Function (UniProtKB)
RNA-binding protein that is involved in oogenesis. Required for correct targeting of the migrating anterior follicle cells and the establishment of anterior-posterior polarity in the oocyte. May act as translational repressor of oskar during oogenesis. Function seems to be sensitive to small changes in expression.
(UniProt, Q24009)
Phenotypic Description (Red Book; Lindsley and Zimm 1992)
BicC: Bicaudal C
A maternal-effect semilethal; the majority of embryos produced by BicC/+ mothers given rise to normal larvae a minority fail to hatch and vary in phenotype. Double-abdomen embryos have a normal posterior end and the anterior end replaced by mirror image series of posterior segments, e.g. A8-A4|A4-A8 to A8-A6|A6-A8; they need not have the same number of segments on either side of the reversal of polarity, the duplicated portion having fewer segments; generally more segments seen ventrally than dorsally. Less severely affected embryros may be headless, or with reduced mouth parts, or even normal appearing but failing to hatch. The incidence and severity of abnormal embryos vary with genetic background and temperature, the incidence being highest at 25 and decreasing at lower and higher temperatures. The majority of the embryos produced by BicC/BicD trans heterozygotes are abnormal. Homozygotes are abnormal. Homozygous BicC females sterile, germ-cell differentiation blocked at the beginning of vitellogenesis. Follicle cells do not invade between oocyte and nurse cells; they do synthesize a chorion which remains open ended like a chalice or a cup; such eggs never fertilized.

Additional Descriptive Data

BicC protein is first detected in the oocyte at stage 3 but remains faint until stage 5 when the levels increase substantially. In stages 4-6, BicC protein is present throughout the ooctye cytoplasm but is enriched at the posterior pole. In stages 7 to 9, it is abundant in the oocyte cytoplasm. In addition, it is enriched at the anterior of the oocyte and around the cortex. From stage 10 on, BicC protein is present at high levels in nurse cells.

FBrf0091058 and FBrf0082309 differ in their conclusions about molecular mapping of the proximal breakpoint of Df(2L)Scorv18 with respect to the BicC transcription unit. Weight of evidence favours the FBrf0091058 interpretation (see Roote, 1999.1.18, personal communication).

    Other Comments

    BicC produces a localised RNA, which encodes a putative RNA binding protein containing KH domains. The spatial and temporal characteristics of BicC expression and the nature of the BicC protein indicate a function for it in the localisation of specific RNAs during oogenesis.

    (Mahone et al., 1995)

    BicC is required for the correct targeting of the migrating anterior follicle cells and for specifying anterior position.

    (Saffman et al., 1995)

    Mutations at the BicC locus cause defects in midoogenesis.

    (Schupbach and Wieschaus, 1991)

    10 additional alleles are discussed but are not named.

    (Ashburner et al., 1990)

    A maternal-effect semi-lethal; the majority of embryos produced by BicC/+ mothers given rise to normal larvae a minority fail to hatch and vary in phenotype. Double-abdomen embryos have a normal posterior end and the anterior end replaced by mirror image series of posterior segments, e.g. A8-A4|A4-A8 to A8-A6|A6-A8; they need not have the same number of segments on either side of the reversal of polarity, the duplicated portion having fewer segments; generally more segments seen ventrally than dorsally. Less severely affected embryos may be headless, or with reduced mouth parts, or even normal appearing but failing to hatch. The incidence and severity of abnormal embryos vary with genetic background and temperature, the incidence being highest at 25oC and decreasing at lower and higher temperatures. The majority of the embryos produced by BicC/BicD trans heterozygotes are abnormal. Homozygotes are abnormal. Homozygous BicC females sterile, germ-cell differentiation blocked at the beginning of vitellogenesis. Follicle cells do not invade between oocyte and nurse cells; they do synthesize a chorion which remains open ended like a chalice or a cup; such eggs never fertilized.
