PubMed Abstract Ecdysteroids trigger major developmental transitions in Drosophila, including larval molts and metamorphosis. Recent genetic studies strongly support a role for the Ecdysteroid receptor (EcR)/Ultraspiracle (USP) heterodimer as an ecdysteroid receptor at the onset of metamorphosis, functioning as both a transcriptional activator and repressor in vivo. Genetic analysis also indicates that USP, like its vertebrate homolog retinoid X receptor (RXR), might be involved in regulatory pathways independently of EcR. The ecdysteroid hierarchy was also shown recently to regulate Drosophila oogenesis and reproduction.
