The insect juvenile hormone receptor is a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH), Per-Arnt-Sim (PAS) domain protein, novel type of receptor. In higher flies like Drosophila, the ancestral germ cell-expressed (gce) gene has duplicated to yield paralog Methoprene-tolerant (Met). These paralogous receptors share redundant function during development but play unique roles in adults. Some aspects JH apparently require one or other. To provide foundation for studying function, we have recapitulated...
