Abstract excerpt
Ecdysone receptor (EcR) isoforms exert different biological functions, although they vary only in their N-terminal domain. Despite identical C-termini, which mediate hormone-induced activity, the influence of ligand is isoform specific, which indicates an N/C-interaction. The position of helix 12 with and without hormone varies among isoforms and modifies N/C-interaction determined by fluorescence...
