Isoform-specific null mutations were used to define the functions of three orphan members of the nuclear receptor superfamily, E75A, E75B, and E75C, encoded by the E75 early ecdysteroid-inducible gene. E75B mutants are viable and fertile, while E75C

In the mosquito Aedes aegypti, the adult female becomes competent for a vitellogenic response to ecdysone after previtellogenic development. Here, we show that βFTZ-F1, the nuclear receptor implicated as a competence factor for stage-specific respon

The insect steroid hormone, 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E), is a key factor controlling critical developmental events of embryogenesis, larval molting, metamorphosis, and, in some insects, reproduction. We are interested in understanding the molecular basi

Synopsis. Vitellogenesis in insects involves the coordinated activity of the fat body, which produces large amounts of yolk protein precursors (YP), and oocytes, which specifically accumulate these proteins. The expression of YP genes is achieved thr

The steroid hormone ecdysone controls genetic regulatory hierarchies underlying insect molting, metamorphosis and, in some insects, reproduction. Cytogenetic and molecular analysis of ecdysone response in Drosophila larval salivary glands has reveale

Drosophila steroid receptors and related receptor-like proteins show remarkable conservation of structure and function relative to vertebrate homologues. While those proteins are involved in numerous embryonic and post-embryonic developmental process

The ecdysone-inducible E75 gene responsible for the 75B puff of Drosophila melanogaster encodes a family of proteins which are members of the steroid receptor superfamily. These proteins are believed to be involved in the regulation of ecdysone respo

In Drosophila the steroid hormone ecdysone triggers a genetic regulatory hierarchy in which ecdysone combines with a receptor protein to form a complex that induces the transcription of a small class of "early" genes, which encode transcription facto

Summary The IXth Ecdysone Workshop marked a turning point in studies of ecdysone and gene regulation, as there has been significant progress in our understanding both of the regulatio9n and function of ecdysone-inducible genes. A number of reports co

A pulse of the steroid hormone ecdysone at the end of Drosophila larval development triggers coordinate changes in both larval and imaginal tissues that result in metamorphosis to the adult fly. In larval salivary glands, this pulse activates a genet
