Nutritional control of body size through FoxO-Ultraspiracle mediated ecdysone biosynthesis [PDF]
eLife, 2014 Despite their fundamental importance for body size regulation, the mechanisms that stop growth are poorly understood. In Drosophila melanogaster, growth ceases in response to a peak of the molting hormone ecdysone that coincides with a nutrition ...

Compared activity of agonist molecules towards ecdysone receptor in insect cell-based screening system [PDF]
Arquivos do Instituto Biológico, 2019 : The ecdysone receptor, naturally activated by steroidal hormones, is a key protein for molting and reproduction processes of insects. Artificial activation of such receptor by specific pesticides induces an anomalous process of ecdysis, causing death ...

Two adjacent cis-regulatory elements are required for ecdysone response of ecdysone receptor (EcR) B1 transcription. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Three distinct classes of nuclear receptors, EcR, E75, and HR3, are key regulators in the ecdysone-inducible gene activation cascade in insects. The transcription of these genes is induced by ecdysone (20E) differently, although the detailed mechanisms ...

Functional analysis of ecdysone receptor
, 2009 Ecdysteroids are important regulators of insect development. They perform their actions through intracellular receptors belonging to the superfamily of nuclear receptors (NRs). In the present study, the relative performance of the three Drosophila ecdysone receptor (EcR)-isoforms in terms of their affinity to the ligand Ponasterone A in mammalian cell ...
