Steroid hormone control of cell death and cell survival: molecular insights using RNAi.
PLoS Genetics, 2009 The insect steroid hormone ecdysone triggers programmed cell death of obsolete larval tissues during metamorphosis and provides a model system for understanding steroid hormone control of cell death and cell survival.

TITER EKDISON LOBSTER HIJAU PASIR (Panulirus homarus L.) PADA FASE PREMOLTING AKHIR
Scripta Biologica, 2017 Spiny Lobster, Panulirus homarus, farming is very potential to be developed in Lombok Island, but physiological aspects such as nutrient needs and growth hormone, especially ecdysone titer, were little known. This research aimed to determine the ecdysone

Pigment dispersing factor regulates ecdysone biosynthesis via bombyx neuropeptide G protein coupled receptor-B2 in the prothoracic glands of Bombyx mori. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Ecdysone is the key hormone regulating insect growth and development. Ecdysone synthesis occurs in the prothoracic glands (PGs) and is regulated by several neuropeptides.

Interactions of ultraspiracle with ecdysone receptor in the transduction of ecdysone‐ and juvenile hormone‐signaling [PDF]
The FEBS Journal, 2005 Analyses of integration of two‐hormone signaling through the vertebrate nuclear hormone receptors, for which the retinoid X receptor is one partner, have generated a number of mechanistic models, including those described as ‘subordination’ models wherein ligand‐activation of one partner is subordinate to the liganded state of the other partner ...

Molecular evidence for a functional ecdysone signaling system in Brugia malayi. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2010 BACKGROUND:Filarial nematodes, including Brugia malayi, the causative agent of lymphatic filariasis, undergo molting in both arthropod and mammalian hosts to complete their life cycles.

The ecdysone receptor puzzle [PDF]
Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, 1999 The present article reviews some recent findings on the functional ecdysone† receptor which is a heterodimer of two proteins: ecdysone receptor (EcR) and Ultraspiracle (USP). Emphasis is given to some unique aspects of this receptor, in particular to its dimerization, binding to DNA, and transactivation capabilities.

Scientific Reports, 2019 Ecdysteroid hormones influence the development and reproduction of arthropods by binding a heterodimeric complex of nuclear receptors, the ecdysone receptor (EcR) and the retinoid-X-receptor/ultraspiracle (RXR/USP). Here, we report on the in vivo role(s)

Mechanisms of transcriptional regulation of ecdysone response
Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2019 The mechanisms of ecdysone-dependent expression have been studied for many decades. Initially, the activation of individual genes under the influence of ecdysone was studied on the model of polythene chromosomes from salivary glands of Drosophila ...
