Summary: Enables transcription cis-regulatory region binding activity. Involved in several processes, including defense response to fungus; nucleolus organization; and positive regulation of receptor signaling pathway via JAK-STAT. Located in euchromatin; nucleolus; and polytene chromosome chromocenter. Is expressed in several structures, including RP neuron; cardiogenic mesoderm; ganglia; gonad; and somatic precursor cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in T-cell immunodeficiency, congenital alopecia, and nail dystrophy; alopecia; nail disease; and primary immunodeficiency disease. Orthologous to human FOXN1 (forkhead box N1) and FOXN4 (forkhead box N4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]

Jumu is required for the activation of JAK/STAT in Drosophila lymph gland development and epidermal wounds.

The Drosophila Forkhead/Fox transcription factor Jumeau mediates specific cardiac progenitor cell divisions by regulating expression of the kinesin Nebbish.

Loss of Jumeau (Jumu) function triggers apoptosis via a JNK-dependent pathway in wing development. jumu mutants show reduced wing size, a loss of the anterior cross vein (ACV) phenotype, and increased apoptosis. The JNK signaling markers puckered (puc) and p-JNK are increased in the wing discs of jumu mutants. Apoptosis induced by the loss of jumu is rescued by knocking down JNK.
Title: Drosophila jumu modulates apoptosis via a JNK-dependent pathway and is required for other processes in wing development.
Study reports that Drosophila protein Jumu binds N6-methyladenine (6mA)-marked DNA and acts as a maternal factor to regulate the maternal-to-zygotic transition and finds that zelda encoding the pioneer factor Zelda is marked by 6mA. Genetic assays suggest that Jumu controls the proper zygotic genome activation in early embryos, at least in part, by regulating zelda expression.
Title: 6mA-DNA-binding factor Jumu controls maternal-to-zygotic transition upstream of Zelda.
Jumu is required for circulating hemocyte differentiation and phagocytosis in Drosophila

The results suggest a Jumu-mediated crosstalk between hematopoiesis and the fat body, especially during the Toll-dependent formation of melanotic nodules.
Title: Overexpression of jumu induces melanotic nodules by activating Toll signaling in Drosophila.
Jumeau (Jumu), a member of the forkhead (Fkh) transcription factor family, controls hemocyte differentiation of lymph gland through multiple regulatory mechanisms.
Title: Dual role for Jumu in the control of hematopoietic progenitors in the Drosophila lymph gland.
Both jumu and CHES-1-like are required during asymmetric cell division for the derivation of two distinct cardiac cell types from their mutual precursor and in symmetric cell divisions that produce yet a third type of heart cell.
Title: Two forkhead transcription factors regulate the division of cardiac progenitor cells by a Polo-dependent pathway.
Mutations of the PEV-modifying jumu gene result in an extreme nucleolus disorganization.
Title: The winged-helix transcription factor JUMU regulates development, nucleolus morphology and function, and chromatin organization of Drosophila melanogaster.
The winged-helix transcription factor JUMU is a haplo-suppressor/triplo-enhancer of PEV in various tissues but exhibits reverse PEV effects in the brain of Drosophila melanogaster.
