Juvenile hormone (JH) plays an essential role in regulating molting, metamorphosis, reproduction, and diapause (dormancy), in many insects and crustaceans. JH esterases (JHEs) can control JH titer by regulating JH degradation. Although the biochemistry and structure of JHEs have been well studied, regulation of their expression remains unclear. We identified three putativeJHEs(JHE1,JHE2,JHE3) in the cabbage beetleColaphellus bowringi, and investigated the regulation of their expression by JH signaling in non-diapause-destined (NDD, reproductive) and diapause-destined (DD) female adults. Sequence and phylogenetic tree analyses indicate that the three putative JHEs shared conserved motifs with the JHEs of other insects and one crustacean, and were similar to Coleopteran, Dipteran, Orthopteran, Hymenopteran, and Decapodan JHEs. They were, however, less closely related to Hemipteran and Lepidopteran JHEs.JHEswere more highly expressed in NDD female adults than in DD female adults. JH analog induction in DD female adults significantly upregulated the expression ofJHE1andJHE2, but had no effect on the expression ofJHE3. Knockdown of the JH candidate receptormethoprene-tolerant(Met) in NDD female adults downregulated the expression of all threeJHEs. These results suggest thatJHEexpression is positively correlated with JH signaling, and thatMetmay be involved in the JH-mediated differential expression ofJHEin DD and NDD adult femaleC. bowringi.
