Gene context of Ecdysterone

  • 20-Hydroxyecdysone stimulates the accumulation of translatable yolk polypeptide gene transcript in adult male Drosophila melanogaster [30].
  • Hybridization of a nick-translated genomic clone containing the hsp23 gene to a total RNA blot showed that ecdysterone stimulation of hsp23 synthesis was the result of an increase in the hsp23 RNA content of S3 cells [31].
  • 20-hydroxyecdysone can override the sex-determination system and induce yolk protein synthesis in normal males and tra-2ts reared and maintained at the restrictive temperature [32].
  • Physiological levels of 20-hydroxyecdysone induced the synthesis of ACE-like activity and Ance protein by a wing disc cell line (Cl.8+), confirming that Ance is an ecdysteroid-responsive gene [33].
  • Like, USP, it activates transcription in Drosophila Schneider S2 cells in a 20-hydroxyecdysone-dependent manner, via its interaction with the endogenous EcR protein [34].
