The wing discs and fat body of Manduca sexta larvae contain enzymes (i.e. carboxylesterase and epoxide hydratase) that can convert the C18 juvenile hormone (JH) to the acid, diol and acid diol. No evidence of oxidative degradation was noted. In vitro studies suggest that JH can be compartmentalized within the cells of the fat body where it is less accessible to degradative mechanisms. Experiments utilizing a hemolymph-binding protein fraction (BPF) in vitro with fat body and imaginal discs indicate that the BPF retards the uptake of JH by tissues and its subsequent degradation by tissue enzymes. BPF also appears to protect JH from degradation by enzymes released into the medium. By these mechanisms the insect can maintain elevated JH titers for relatively long periods. Binding protein may also keep JH in solution in the hemolymph allowing its rapid distribution throughout the insect. The data suggest that the binding protein plays a key role in maintaining juvenile hormone titers.

We previously demonstrated that the caput epididymis of intact sexually mature rabbits contains a specific high-affinity binding protein for 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone (5alphaDHT). The other anatomical segments (corpus and cauda) of the epididymes of these animals had no detectable 5alphaDHT-binding activity. We have further shown that this binding was due to an androgen-binding protein of testicular origin. In the present study we have investigated 5alphaDHT binding to epididymal cytosol from sexually immature rabbits (20-104 days old). Using sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation, we have detected a unique pattern of binding. The pattern correlated well with testicular and epididymal maturation, but there was little correlation with chronological age or body weight. In the most immature animals (Group I) the seminiferous tubules appeared as solid cords and the epithelium of the ductus epididymis detectable 5alphaDHT-binding activity. In the second group (Group II), there was 5alphaDHT-binding to all three segments. The seminiferous tubules of these rabbits exhibited spermatogenic activity and lumen formation. The height of the epididymal epithelium had increased uniformly throughout the duct. The third group (Group III) had 5alphaDHT-binding only in caput cytosol. Spermatogenesis had progressed to the formation of elongated spermatids in the most immature animals of this group to the release of spermatozoa in the most mature ones. The caput epithelium of this last group of rabbits was fully differentiated. Unilateral orchidectomy of Group II rabbits resulted in a decrease in [3H]5alphaDHT-binding activity on the operated side as compared to the contralateral non-operated control side, suggesting the testicular origin of the binding protein. The failure of cyproterone or cyproterone acetate to inhibit [3H]5alphaDHT-binding to the protein, the lack of effect of N-ethylmaleimide on binding, and the rapid dissociation rate of the [3H]5alphaDHT-binding protein complex suggested that the binding moiety was testicular androgen-binding protein (ABP).

The ability of various steroids to induce maturation of Pleurodeles waltlii oocytes after incubation has been studied. Progesterone is metabolized during the course of maturation. All metabolites isolated are less efficient than progesterone for inducing germinal vesicle breakdown. Progesterone binding to the 'melanosome' fraction has been studied (KD = 4.5 X 10(-8) M at 4 degrees C). 20BETA-Hydroxy-pregn-4-en-3-one, the main progesterone metabolite isolated from the oocyte, also binds to the melanosome fraction, but with a lower affinity (KD = 1.6 X 10(-7) M at 4 degrees C). At high concentration 20beta-hydroxy-pregn-4-en-3-one induces maturation, but at low concentration it is a competitive inhibitor of progesterone. Progesterone metabolism in Pleurodeles oocytes can be interpreted as an inactivation process, and also as a mechanism for inhibitime progesterone action.

Interactions between estrogen recpetors and triaryl ethylene anti-estrogens (U-11100A, MER 25 and CI 628) were tested on immature rat uteri. The accessible and the total (accessible and occupied) estrogen receptor sites were assayed in the cytosol and nuclear extracts using charcoal adsorption. After in vivo administration of anti-estrogens, the estradiol receptor sites were occupied and subsequently transferred to the nuclear compartment. The nuclear localisation of the receptor induced by the antagonist lasted for several days, during which replenishment of the cytosol receptor occurred. The nuclear receptors transferred by anti-estrogens and labelled in vitro with [3H]estradiol, were similar to the nuclear receptor-estradiol complex formed in vivo as far as their sedimentation constants and extractability from nuclei were concerned. Although these anti-estrogens are capable to translocate the estrogen receptor to the nucleus and to induce the replenishment of the cytosol receptor, the mechanism of their antagonism and of their weak estrogenic activity is still not clear.
