EGFR gene methylation is not involved in Royalactin controlled phenotypic polymorphism in honey bees.

Scientific reports - 11 Sept 2015

Kucharski R, Foret S, Maleszka R

Abstract excerpt

The 2011 highly publicised Nature paper by Kamakura on honeybee phenotypic dimorphism, (also using Drosophila as an experimental surrogate), claims that a single protein in royal jelly, Royalactin, essentially acts as a master "on-off" switch in development via the epidermal growth factor receptor (AmEGFR), to seal the fate of queen or worker. One mechanism proposed in that study as important for the action of...
