The molecular basis of conformational instability of the ecdysone receptor DNA binding domain studied by in silico and in vitro experiments.

The heterodimer of the ecdysone receptor (EcR) and ultraspiracle (Usp), members of the nuclear receptors superfamily, regulates gene expression associated with molting and metamorphosis in insects. The DNA binding domains (DBDs) of the Usp and EcR play an important role in their DNA-dependent hetero...
