| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to introduce a FRET-based juvenile hormone sensor into cells and express it to obtain the fluorescent signals.
1) culture cell level, change in cytoplasmic fluorescence signals caused by the sensor after JH addition. The results indicate that JH was incorporated across transmembtrane unrelated to transporters or mediation by receptors.
2) insect tissue level, introduction of a transient sensor gene to silkworm larvae could be achieved, but it was not possible to introduce it to fat body which was originally planned. It was thought that this was due to the problem of introduction efficiency due to the insulation of the fat body.
