The Expression Of The Let-7 Small Regulatory Rna Is Controlled By Ecdysone During Metamorphosis In Drosophila Melanogaster, Lorenzo Sempere, Edward Dubrovsky, Veronica Dubrovskaya, Edward Berger, Victor Ambros

Victor R. Ambros

In Caenorhabditis elegans, the heterochronic pathway controls the timing of developmental events during the larval stages. A component of this pathway, the let-7 small regulatory RNA, is expressed at the late stages of development and promotes the transition from larval to adult (L/A) stages. The stage-specificity of let-7 expression, which is crucial for the proper timing of the worm L/A transition, is conserved in Drosophila melanogaster and other invertebrates. In Drosophila, pulses of the steroid hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone (ecdysone) control the timing of the transition from larval to pupal to adult stages. To test whether let-7 expression is regulated by ecdysone …
