Spider Hemocyanin Binds Ecdysone and 20-OH-Ecdysone [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1999 Fluorescence quenching studies and binding experiments with [(3)H]ecdysone reveal that the respiratory protein, hemocyanin, of the tarantula Eurypelma californicum binds ecdysone. The binding constant for ecdysone ranges between 0.5 and 5 mM, indicating a low affinity binding.

Four-way regulation of mosquito yolk protein precursor genes by juvenile hormone-, ecdysone-, nutrient-, and insulin-like peptide signaling pathways. [PDF]
, 2014 Anautogenous mosquito females require a meal of vertebrate blood in order to initiate the production of yolk protein precursors by the fat body. Yolk protein precursor gene expression is tightly repressed in a state-of-arrest before blood meal-related ...

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.

Autophagy occurs upstream or parallel to the apoptosome during histolytic cell death [PDF]
, 2006 Histolysis refers to a widespread disintegration of tissues that is morphologically distinct from apoptosis and often associated with the stimulation of autophagy. Here, we establish that a component of the apoptosome, and pivotal regulator of apoptosis,
