“…The splicing sites that generated the EcR isoforms were conserved among these three insects. Some similarity was also observed with the EcR of Chironomus tentans (Imhof et al, 1993).…”

“…DmEcR, CfEcR, BaEcR, and BmEcR are underlined as their proteins contain a Tyr at the critical ligand specificity site. Data bank search yielded EcR protein sequences from 16 species: 6 Diptera species, the Mediterranean fruit fly Ceratitis capitata (CcEcR [67]), the sheep blowfly Lucilia cuprina (LcEcR [23]), the yellow fever mosquitoes A. aegypti (AaEcR, 12) and A. albopictus (not shown, as its EcR I box is 100% identical to AaEcR [28]), the midge Chironomus tentans (CtEcR [27]), and D. melanogaster (DmEcR [34]); 6 Lepidoptera species, the spruce budworm C. fumiferana (CfEcR [35]), squinting bush brown Bicyclus anynana (BaEcR [R. K. Reinhardt, P. Weber, and P. B. Koch, submitted to GenBank, accession no. CAB63236]), the silkworm B. mori (BmEcR [32,60]), the tobacco budworm Heliothis virescens (HvEcR [41]), the tobacco hornworm M. sexta (MsEcR [18]), and the buckeye Junonia coenia (JcEcR [R. K. Reinhardt, P. Weber, and P. B. Koch submitted to GenBank, accession no.…”

“…The molecular basis of 20E action has been elucidated in great detail (10,24,26,46,51,56,64,65). The two nuclear hormone receptors that play a central role in the initiation of the 20E-induced gene regulatory hierarchy are the ecdysteroid receptor (EcR) and the retinoid X receptor (RXR) homologue Ultraspiracle (USP) (12,18,25,27,34,43,57,60). It has been shown that USP is an obligatory heterodimeric partner of EcR, required for both ligand and DNA binding (63,74,75).…”

“…In C. tentans, EcR mRNA abundance parallels changes in ecdysteroid titer (78). In this species, the EcR mRNA has been observed to be relatively uncommon during diapause (68).…”
