Article Synopsis
- E93 is a crucial transcription factor in the metamorphosis process of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, influencing its transition from larval to adult behavior and physiology.
- A targeted RNAi screen identified E93, and further studies revealed that its knockdown affects key functions like appetite, metabolism, exercise endurance, and circadian rhythms, with specific impacts seen in GABA and MIP neurons.
- The findings suggest that E93, in conjunction with signals from the Ecdysone Receptor, plays a vital role in coordinating metabolic processes and behavioral changes during the transition to adulthood.
