The genome of the nematode Pristionchus pacificus encodes putative homologs of RXR/Usp and EcR
Abstract
Ecdysteroid signaling is an important regulator of arthropod development and reproduction. However, the role of ecdysteroid signaling in another Ecdysozoan animal, the nematode, remains unclear. We report here the identification, cloning, and temporal expression of genes encoding putative homologs of the two nuclear receptor components of the ecdysone receptor, RXR/Usp (NR2B) and EcR (NR1H), in the nematode Pristionchus pacificus. The P. …
