Comments
Three EcR isoforms exist that differ in their N-terminal sequences. They have 652 C-terminal amino acids in common that contain the DNA- and hormone-binding domains. All were shown to function as ecdysone receptors in S2 cells. Monoclonal antibodies have been produced that specifically recognize two of the three EcR isoforms (all but EcR-B2). Monoclonal antibodies have also been produced against the region common to all of the EcR proteins.

alternatively spliced exon
Monoclonal antibody was generated against amino acids 67-878 of this protein. Polyclonal antibody was generated against amino acids 335-447 of this protein. EcR protein expressed in Drosophila Schneider 2 cells is able to bind the ecdysone analog iodoponasterone A, and binding activity is lost by treatment with EcR antibody. Embryonic extracts also show ecdysone analog binding which is removable by antibody treatment. EcR protein is able to specifically bind ecdysone response element (EcRE) DNA.

Additional Descriptive Data
The temporal pattern of EcR RNA expression was carefully studied and related to times of ecdysone pulses. The strongest peak of EcR-B1 RNA expression occurs in late third instar larvae. Smaller peaks are observed during late embryonic, late first and second instar larval, and mid pupal stages.
The 6 kb EcR transcript is detected in all stages except for 0-3 hr embryos. Expression is most abundant in embryos and in late third instar larvae and early pupae, with highest levels seen in wandering third instar larvae.
The temporal pattern of EcR RNA expression was carefully studied and related to times of ecdysone pulses. Peaks of the 5kb EcR-A RNA occur in mid-embryogenesis and early and late in pupation.

Additional Descriptive Data
EcR protein is located in the nucleus in embryonic, late third instar larval and pupal tissues. EcR protein localizes to the nuclei of the cell lines in which it is overexpressed, even in the absence of ecdysone.
A 105 kD EcR protein is detected in embryos, in late third instar larvae and in early pupae. Low levels of protein are also detected in first instar larvae and adults, but no protein is detected in second and early third instar larvae. EcR protein is distributed throughout embryonic, late third instar larval, and prepupal tissues and localizes to the nucleus.
At the onset of metamorphosis, the EcR-A and EcR-B1 protein isoforms are expressed in most tissues and are found in approximately complimentary patterns. EcR-A protein is expressed predominantly in large imaginal discs and rings that achieve their size by cell division during metamorphosis. EcR-B1 protein is found mainly in tissues that are strictly larval and in small cell clusters that respond to ecdysone by extensive cell multiplication, such as histoblast nests and midgut imaginal islands. A temporal study of EcR-B1 protein expression through development shows that it is present from mid to late embryogenesis, is at low levels in larval stages and is higher again during pupal stages.
Most neurons (type I neurons) express the "EcR-A" isoform at low levels throughout adult development. Approximately 300 neurons (type II neurons) in the pupal ventral CNS express "EcR-A", at about 10-fold higher levels than found in type I neurons. Expression is detected in about 29 cells at 12 hr APF, increases to about 300 neurons by 42 hr APF, and continues to be detected through the rest of pupal stages. The majority of the neurons are located in the abdominal and third thoracic neuromeres, with about 24 in in neuromeres T1 and T2. The neurons which express "EcR-A" at high levels undergo rapid degeneration in newly eclosed adults. The death of the type II neurons can be delayed by 20-hydroxyecdysone treatment.
EcR-A and EcR-B1 protein staining is observed in follicle cells and nurse cells throughout egg chamber development.

DNA-protein interactions: genome-wide binding profile assayed for EcR protein in Kc167 cells; see Chromatin_types_NKI collection report. Individual protein-binding experiments listed under "Samples" at GEO_GSE22069 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE22069).
The EcR-A isoform is not a signal transducer for programmed cell death in Crz-expressing ventral nerve cord neurons. EcR-B isoforms play significant roles in Crz-expressing ventral nerve cord neuron cell death.
dsRNA has been made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene. RNAi of EcR reduces the primary dendrite outgrowth of ddaD and ddaE neurons, but causes only modest reduction of lateral branching and lateral branch outgrowth. RNAi also causes defects in muscle, alterations in the number of MD neurons, defects in dendrite morphogenesis and reproducible defects in da dendrite development.
ChEST reveals this is a target of Mef2.
Ecdysone signalling cell-autonomously downregulates PI3K activity in the fat body.
dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene tested in RNAi screen for effects on Kc167 and S2R+ cell morphology.
babo/Smox mediated TGFΒ/Activin signalling mediates remodeling of mushroom body neurons via controlling EcR-B1 expression.
EcR is not required for morphogenetic furrow formation in the developing eye.
The EcR/usp heterodimer DNA binding activity requires activation by a chaperone heterocomplex of six proteins including the products of Hsp83 and the Hsc70 genes. The gene products of Hsp83 and the Hsc70 genes are also required in vivo for EcR activity and EcR is the primary target of the chaperone complex.
Genetic interaction between EcRE261st and Sin3Ak07401 reported in FBrf0111507 is not evident when EcRC300Y is combined with Sin3A08269, suggesting that the original observed interaction could be due to background effects.
EcR function is required maternally for normal oogenesis.
EcR together with crol controls wing morphogenesis and cell adhesion by regulating integrin expression during metamorphosis.
EcR has a cell autonomous role in controlling neuronal remodelling.
EcR is required for hatching, at each larval moult and for the initiation of metamorphosis.
EcR/usp may play an essential role as a hormonal timer.
The ng-EcRE, located within the coding region of ng1 and ng2, binds the EcR/usp heterodimer through its widely spaced half sites.
Binding site selection procedure demonstrates that the EcR/usp heterodimer binds to the core recognition motif (consensus sequence consists of a perfect palindrome of the heptameric half-site sequence GAGGTCA that is separated by a single A/T base pair).
Mutations in EcR reveal functional differences among the receptor isoforms encoded by the EcR gene.
Identified in a screen for modifiers of the Dfd13/Dfd3 mutant phenotype. Mutants weakly interact with Pc.
The EcR/usp heterodimer binds in vitro to direct repeats and these repeats can confer ecdysteroid responsiveness on minimal promoters in a cell transfection assay. The natural pseudopalindromic EcR/usp binding site in the Fbp1 enhancer is required to mediate a fat body-specific ecdysteroid response. The profound differences in structure between these two types of EcR/usp binding site do not dictate a spatial and temporal specificity of the transcriptional response they mediate.
Interaction of the DNA binding domain with a 20-hydroxyecdysone palindromic response element from the promoter region of Hsp27 has been studied.
DNA-blotting assay has identified a high affinity ecdysone receptor binding site within the ng1 and ng2 coding sequence. EMSA assay demonstrates the 93bp 'ng element' is able to bind an EcR/usp heterodimer and usp alone.
Expression throughout the onset of metamorphosis is not affected by Eip74EF mutations.
EcR and usp interact as a dimer.
The usp product acts as an allosteric effector to enhance steroid binding by the EcR product. Under some conditions, DNA binding by EcR/usp product is highly steroid-dependent.
The EcR product binds to two sites, element I and element II, in the regulatory region of Sgs4. Element II appears to be of no importance for the expression of Sgs4 while element I is an ecdysone response element necessary, but not sufficient, for Sgs4 induction.
EcR has been stably transfected into CHO cells. Nuclear extracts from the line exhibit specific binding activity for the Hsp27 ecdysone response element in mobility shift analyses.
The in vitro characterisation of the EcR/usp binding site its ecdysone- dependent in vivo occupancy in different genetic backgrounds support the conclusion that the Fbp1 enhancer is a primary target of the EcR.
Neurons show qualitative and quantitative changes in EcR expression during their life history and these differences correlate with distinct patterns of ecdysteroid response.
Ecdysteroid-regulated gene.
Postmeiotic differentiation defect.
The correlation of a unique pattern of ecdysone receptor isoform A expression in the CNS of the emerging adult with a particular steroid regulated cell death fate suggests that variations in the pattern of receptor isoform expression may serve as important switches during development.
The ecdysone receptor gene encodes three receptor isoforms with common DNA and hormone binding domains but different N-terminal regions. Different isoforms predominate at different developmental stages that are marked by a pulse of ecdysone.
Transient cotransfection experiments in HeLa cells demonstrated that EcR must heterodimerize with usp (the homolog of the mammalian retinoid X receptor) for DNA binding and transactivation. EcR/usp gene product DNA binding activity is unaffected by ecdysteroid and 9-cis-retinoic acid.
EcR and usp native gene products co-localise on ecdysone-responsive loci. Physical associations in the presence and absence of ecdysone redefine the ecdysone receptor as a dynamic complex whose activity may be altered by combinatorial interactions among subunits and ligand.
EcR protein can function as a ligand-dependent transcription factor in mammalian cells.
Cotransfection of both usp and EcR is required to render cultured mammalian cells ecdysone responsive.
usp is a Drosophila partner of EcR. Together usp and EcR bind DNA in a highly cooperative pattern.
Identification: EcR was identified in a screen for members of the steroid receptor superfamily.
The DNA binding properties of the ecdysone receptor protein have been defined. In vitro binding studies demonstrate that ecdysterone causes activation or repression of the receptor DNA binding domain via an irreversible change in conformation.
EcR binds as a dimer to an imperfect palindromic sequence (GGTTCAATGCACT) in the Hsp27 promoter region.
The effect of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate on the binding of EcR from a nuclear extract to DNA-cellulose is studied: application inhibits EcR binding to DNA.
A novel bromoacetly ecdysteroid IV reacts with partially purified EcR rapidly and almost quantitatively.
