Abstract

Ecdysteroid binding proteins have been found in nuclei of Drosophila melanogaster embryos. Comparison of results derived from Scatchard analysis, analogue binding competition, and sucrose gradient centrifugation has revealed no significant differences between the properties of the putative embryonic receptor and those of the receptor found in imaginal disks or K~c~ cells.

To investigate the capacity of Drosophila extracts to glucosylate exogenous substrates we have developed a fast and sensitive method for the detection of UDP-glucosyltransferase activity using 4-nitrophenol, 1-naphthol, or 2-naphthol as substrates. High-performance liquid chromatography was used to
