Rethinking Sesquiterpenoids: A Widespread Hormone in Animals

Wai Lok So et al.

Summary: Juvenile hormone (JH), a hormone found in insects, controls development, reproduction, and metamorphosis. However, recent research suggests that other animals, such as jellyfish, also produce similar sesquiterpenoid hormones. Our study hypothesizes that the sesquiterpenoid hormonal system originated in ancestral animals and is present in many different species.

Juvenile hormone biosynthetic genes are critical for regulating reproductive diapause in the cabbage beetle

Zhong Tian et al.

Summary: The study utilized RNA interference to target juvenile hormone (JH) biosynthetic genes and identified that several genes in Colaphellus bowringi are significantly downregulated during reproductive diapause. Knockdown of certain genes induced diapause-associated traits, which could be reversed with a JH receptor agonist methoprene. This work provides evidence for the physiological roles of JH biosynthetic genes in reproductive diapause.

Structural basis for juvenile hormone biosynthesis by the juvenile hormone acid methyltransferase

Pengchao Guo et al.

Summary: The study presents the crystal structures of JHAMT in various complexes, providing insights into the binding patterns, catalytic mechanism, and substrate recognition of this enzyme. The findings lay the foundation for understanding the mechanism of JH biosynthesis and offer a rational framework for the development of specific JHAMT inhibitors as insect growth regulators or insecticides.
