Abstract excerpt
We have identified ecdysone-response elements (EcREs) by studying regulation of the steroid-responsive Drosophila Eip28/29 gene. First, functional assays of deletion mutants identified large sequence regions required for the response; then a blotting method using the specifically labeled steroid receptor as probe identified receptor-binding regions. Three short receptor-binding regions near Eip28/29 have been...
