AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.
Gene model reviewed during 5.51
There is only one protein coding transcript and one polypeptide associated with this gene
Heterodimer with Burs; 2 cystine knot polypeptides.

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).
burs transcript is detected in 4 pairs of neurons in the pharate pupae ventral nerve cord, in segments A1 to A4. 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 burs protein and transcript.
RT-PCR analysis indicates that pburs 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. pburs transcript is also detected in four pairs of bilateral neurons in the thoracic and abdominal segments of a third instar larva.
In the larval ventral cord, pburs is prominently expressed in a limited a number of neurons of the first four abdominal segments (A1-A4).

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.
Bioactive D.melanogaster bursicon is a heterodimer composed of the burs and pburs polypeptides. burs protein by itself does not have bursicon bioactivity.
Wings unexpanded or incompletely expanded; more extreme at 19oC. Extreme alleles show erect and crossed postscutellar bristles and a distorted thoracic cage (Ashburner). Df(2L)A400/Ts(Y;2Lt)el4+Ts(YSt;2Rt)A80, a homozygous pu deficiency, is barely viable; escapers are pu.
