Scavenger receptors mediate the role of SUMO and Ftz-f1 in Drosophila steroidogenesis.

Scavenger receptors mediate the role of SUMO and Ftz-f1 in Drosophila steroidogenesis.

SUMOylation participates in ecdysteroid biosynthesis at the onset of metamorphosis in Drosophila melanogaster. Silencing the Drosophila SUMO homologue smt3 in the prothoracic gland leads to reduced lipid content, low ecdysone titers, and a block in the larval-pupal transition. Here we show that the...
