A gel-filtration assay has been developed with which the specific interaction between Drosophila melanogaster ecdysteroid receptor and the 20-hydroxy-ecdysone responsive element of the hsp27 gene promoter region was characterized in terms of complex formation, saturation of DNA binding and the apparent molecular mass of the complex. The hsp27 DNA-binding sequence for ecdysteroid receptor in vitro was delimited by footprinting and mutational analysis. The combined results show that ecdysteroid receptor binds as a dimer to an imperfect palindromic sequence (GGTTCAATGCACT) closely resembling the structures of the different vertebrate steroid-hormone-responsive elements reported so far.

D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.

D011987 Receptors, Steroid Proteins found usually in the cytoplasm or nucleus that specifically bind steroid hormones and trigger changes influencing the behavior of cells. The steroid receptor-steroid hormone complex regulates the transcription of specific genes.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
