Catalase expression in Drosophila melanogaster is responsive to ecdysone and exhibits both transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation.

Abstract excerpt

In the present study, we have examined catalase protein and mRNA levels and the factors that may regulate catalase expression in Drosophila melanogaster during development. Both mRNA and protein changes are in general accord with variations in ecdysteroid titer during development. Differences in mRNA and protein accumulation profiles, particularly in embryos and young adults, suggest that catalase may be...
