N(alpha)-acetyltransferase 40-mediated histone acetylation plays an important role in ecdysone regulation of metamorphosis in the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum
Histone acetylation, a crucial epigenetic modification, is governed by histone acetyltransferases (HATs), that regulate many biological processes....

Transcriptional regulation analysis reveals the complexity of metamorphosis in the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas)
Many marine invertebrate phyla are characterized by indirect development. These animals transit from planktonic larvae to benthic spats via...

G protein-coupled receptors function as cell membrane receptors for the steroid hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone
AbstractG protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are cell membrane receptors for various ligands. Recent studies have suggested that GPCRs transmit animal...

RNAi of the nuclear receptor HR3 suggests a role in the molting process of the spider mite Panonychus citri
Ecdysteroids regulate molting in arthropods by binding to heterodimers of the ecdysone receptor and retinoid-X-receptor, homologous to the...
