Gene Description

Punt is a Drosophila type II receptor serine/threonine kinase shared by activin-family and BMP-family signaling. It forms ligand-responsive complexes with Baboon to activate Smox-dependent signaling and with the BMP type I receptors Thickveins or Saxophone to activate Mad-dependent signaling. Punt binds activin and supports complex-dependent BMP binding. Its membrane distribution is tissue dependent: predominantly basolateral in wing-disc and salivary epithelia, but both apical and basolateral in ovarian follicle cells. These receptor functions regulate embryonic patterning, organ development, neuronal connectivity and metabolic responses.

GO:0004672 protein kinase activity
IEA
GO_REF:0000002
MODIFY
Summary: Punt is a shared type II receptor kinase for activin and BMP signaling.
Reason: The broad kinase function is correct, but two distinct experimentally supported receptor functions should be retained. Punt cooperates with Babo for activin-family signaling and with Tkv/Sax for BMP signaling; it is not specific to one branch.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:18820452
Only Drosophila Activin (dACT) and the Activin-like ligand Dawdle (DAW) signal through BABO in combination with the type II receptor PUNT and activate dSMAD2.

Summary: Punt occupies tissue-dependent plasma-membrane domains.
Reason: The broader membrane claim is correct. Native localization experiments resolve basolateral membrane in wing-disc and salivary epithelia, and both basolateral and apical membrane in ovarian follicle cells. Preserve both specific domains rather than making apical and basolateral localization mutually exclusive.

Summary: Punt is a core BMP-pathway type II receptor.
Reason: Genetic and biochemical evidence independently establishes Punt as a receptor for the Dpp/BMP branch with Tkv/Sax.

Supporting Evidence:

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Punt contributes to signaling that promotes neuromuscular junction development.
Reason: The glial-Maverick study implicates muscle Punt in modulating the Gbb retrograde pathway and synaptic growth. This does not establish that Punt directly mediates every presynaptic BMP signal or that Maverick is equivalent to Actbeta.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:22959350
Here we show that NMJ glia release the TGF-Ξ² ligand Maverick (Mav), which likely activates the muscle activin-type receptor Punt to potently modulate Gbb-dependent retrograde signaling and synaptic growth.

Core Functions

Type II receptor signaling in the activin branch through complexes with Babo, including native Actbeta and Daw responses.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:18820452
    Only Drosophila Activin (dACT) and the Activin-like ligand Dawdle (DAW) signal through BABO in combination with the type II receptor PUNT and activate dSMAD2.
  • PMID:8289834
    Atr-I binds activin efficiently when coexpressed with the distantly related Drosophila activin receptor Atr-II, with which it forms a heteromeric complex.
  • PMID:19766717
    In cell culture, Dawdle signaling is active in the presence of the Type-II receptor Punt but not Wit, demonstrating that the Type-II receptor also contributes to the specificity of the signaling complex.
  • PMID:35594316
    In follicle cells of the egg chamber, both Punt and Wit were indiscriminately distributed basolaterally and apically
  • file:DROME/put/put-uniprot.txt
    Highly restricted to the basolateral cell membrane in wing disc epithelial cells; basolateral localization is dependent on the BLT motif and on the AP-1 adapter protein complex

BMP receptor signaling through complexes with Tkv or Sax, promoting Mad-pathway activation.

Molecular Function:
BMP receptor activity
Directly Involved In:
Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:7697720
    punt will bind BMP2 in concert with tkv or sax, forming complexes with these receptors.

FlyBase gene description for put (DROME)

punt (put) encodes a transforming growth factor beta type II receptor that functions in both Dpp/BMP and Activin signaling. Pathway specificity in signaling output is determined by which type I receptor (Dpp/BMP or Activin one) is engaged in the complex with the product of put.
