Insect retinoid receptor compositions and methods

摘要

(57) by binding to the response element of the same type, to regulate the transcription of certain genes, [Abstract] The present invention relates to the discovery of new insect receptor polypeptides. New receptor of the present invention is activated when the cells were exposed to retinoic acid. For monitoring cell transformed new receptors, expression vectors, expression vectors such, the activation of such receptors to modulate transcription and expression vectors such, the present invention, the expression vector ability can activate cells, and using the cells co-transformed such a receptor of a compound as co-transformed with the test vectors and, and activation such as insecticides potential compound I provides a method of screening for ability to prevent. Novel receptor of the present invention pertains further, as illustrated, the present invention provides a DNA and RNA probes for identifying DNA encoding other animal, a retinoid receptor or insect.
