Breaking the MF curse: the regulatory role of the Methyl farnesoate – MEKRE93 pathway in crustacean molting
… is hypothesized to be regulated through the Methoprene tolerant– Krüppel homolog 1– E93 (MEKRE93) transcriptional cascade. Using bioinformatic approaches, the components of the MF signaling pathway were identified in the European green shore crab (Carcinus maenas) and the blackback land crab …

Regulation of cytochrome P450 genes in drosophila melanogaster by the chemical environment
… expression of P450s in cross-tolerance of a methoprene-tolerant D. melanogaster strain to the fungal toxin, aflatoxin B1, a natural constituent in the diet. Next, I investigate the duplication of a xenobiotic-responsive P450 in D. melanogaster and across 11 Drosophila species and examine the …

Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Functions of Juvenile Hormone Receptor
… Accumulating evidence suggests that Methoprene-tolerant (Met) protein is a nuclear receptor of JH. Work by others has shown that Met is capable of binding JH at physiological concentration. An RNAi knockdown of Met causes down-regulated expression of JH-responsive genes and a …

Regulation of Behavioral Plasticity: Mechanism Underlying Olfaction-Dependent Changes in Male Specific Courtship Behaviors in Drosophila melanogaster
… juvenile hormone signaling via its receptors Methoprene-tolerant (Met) and Germ-cell expressed (Gce), works coincidentally with calcium signaling and the histone acetyl transferase p300 downstream of Or47b pheromone signaling, to exert transcriptional regulation on fruM, and subsequently …

Molecular mechanisms underlying Juvenile hormone (JH) signaling pathway
… exerts its effects through the nuclear receptor Methoprene-tolerant (MET). MET is a transcription factor of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH)/Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) family. In the presence of JH, MET forms a heterodimer with its DNA-binding partner Taiman (TAI). The MET-TAI complex directly binds to …

Underlying mechanisms of juvenile hormone (JH) and its analog in regulating mosquito reproduction
… is mediated through the intracellular receptor Methoprene tolerant (Met) and Krüppel homolog 1 (Kr-h1), an intermediate effector that acts downstream of Met. Kr-h1 is an essential transcription factor for proper oogenesis and egg production in several insects. However, the regulatory mechanism …
