General annotation (Comments)

Function

Receptor for ecdysone. Binds to ecdysone response elements (ECRES) following ecdysone-binding, and recruitment of a complex containing the histone methyltransferase trr, leads to activate transcription of target genes. Ref.1

Subunit structure

Heterodimer of USP and ECR. Only the heterodimer is capable of high-affinity binding to ecdysone. Interacts with trr in an ecdysone-dependent manner. Ref.7 Ref.9

Subcellular location

Nucleus Ref.1.

Tissue specificity

Isoform B1 predominates over isoform A in larval tissues, imaginal histoblast nests and midgut islands. Isoform A predominates over B1 in imaginal disks, and the larval prothoracic gland. Ref.1

Developmental stage

In the salivary glands of mid instar larvae levels increase during puff stage 1 at 86-94 hours of development then remain relatively constant until the premetamorphic pulse of ecdysone in late larvae. Levels diminish dramatically from puff stage 7 onwards. Levels increase in the prepupal period during puff stage 13-14, the level remains stable until stage 21. A decrease in levels at puff stage 7 is also seen in the Malpighian tubules and less dramatically in the fat body and gut. In the wing disk the relatively low level remains unchanged. Ref.1 Ref.8

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR1 subfamily.

Contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain.

Sequence caution

The sequence AAL13804.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.
