AstA Signaling Functions as an Evolutionary Conserved Mechanism Timing Juvenile to Adult Transition (Current Biology)
 


In an RNAi-based screen performed in the PTTH neurons, Deveci et al. identify Drosophila AstA/AstAR1 as a brain signal that induces growth and the onset of maturation. AstA/AstAR1 is homologous to the ligand-receptor KISS/GPR54 that is required for human puberty, suggesting an evolutionary conserved neural circuitry controlling maturation.
