Abstract excerpt
Pulses of the steroid hormone ecdysone initiate Drosophila metamorphosis by inducing widespread changes in gene expression. The Broad-Complex (BR-C) and E74 are induced directly by ecdysone and encode families of transcription factors that regulate ecdysone primary- and secondary-response genes. Genetic analyses have revealed that mutations in the BR-C and E74 are lethal during metamorphosis and that these...
