PP2A exists in several trimeric forms, all of which consist of a core composed of a catalytic subunit associated with a 65 kDa regulatory subunit (PR65) (subunit A). The core complex associates with a third, variable subunit (subunit B), which confers distinct properties to the holoenzyme.

The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data by Vedelek et al., 2018 to indicate the degree of testis enrichment compared to other tissues. Scores range from -2.52 (underrepresented) to 5.2 (very high testis bias).
tws transcripts are found at high levels in ovarioles. They are first detected at stage S6 in nurse cells and are later transported to the egg cell. In embryos, they are present at high levels at the syncytial blastoderm stage and then decrease. They are later detected in the migrating gonads, CNS, anal pads, Malpighian tubules, and hindgut. In larvae, transcripts are detected in regions of cell proliferation in the optic lobes. In pupae, they are found in a uniform distribution in imaginal discs and testes.

Please Note This section lists cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent of the gene model, which may include cDNAs and ESTs of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes. Please see JBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs to the gene model.
For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.

tws is required for efficient recruitment of pericentriolar material.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.
Identification: Enhancer trap expression pattern survey for loci expressed in the ring gland.
Identification: Enhancer trap screen designed to discover genes involved in the cellular aspects of defense mechanisms, as well as in melanotic tumor formation processes linked to blood cell disregulation.
tws is involved in the control of cell division.
The autosomal "FLP-DFS" technique (using the P{ovoD1-18} P{FRT(whs)} P{hsFLP} chromosomes) has been used to identify the specific maternal effect phenotype for the zygotic lethal mutation.
Mutant alleles are pupal lethal and cause pattern duplication in imaginal discs.
The modulation of the phosphatase activity by the B subunit of type 2A protein phosphatase encoded by tws is crucial for specification of neural cell identity.
Mutations cause abnormalities in mitosis, both in the early embryo and in the larval brain.
This locus encodes protein phosphatase 2A regulatory subunit. Mutants display intact lagging chromatids that have undergone separation from their sisters, but that remain at the position formerly occupied by the metaphase plate, as well as anaphase figures that show bridging chromatin having two centromeric regions.
tws mutants display a mirror image duplication of parts of the imaginal wing disc suggesting that regulation of protein phosphatase activity may play a critical role in the specification of imaginal disc patterns.
The tws gene product is a regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 2 (PP2A), one of the major classes of serine/threonine phosphatases.
tws is an essential gene required during embryogenesis and late larval development.
