The developmental profiles of dopa decar☐ylase (DDC) and dopamine acetyltransferase (DAT) were determined and compared with that of ecdysone. Five peaks of DDC activity are observed corresponding to the five major transition points inDrosophiladevelopment, embryonic hatching, first and second molts, puparium formation, and adult eclosion. Marked changes in DAT activity are also observed, although the pattern does not correlate well with changes in developmental stages. DDC expression is correlated with increasing ecdysone concentration at puparium formation, while the peaks of DDC at embryonic hatching and adult eclosion are not temporally correlated with ecdysone. The temperature-sensitive ecdysoneless mutant (ecd1) which is reversibly blocked in ecdysone production at restrictive temperatures [Garen, A., Kauvar, L., and Lepesant, J. A. (1977).Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA74,5099–5133] was used to show that the 20-fold increase in DDC activity in pupating larvae is hormone dependent. It was found that theecd1mutant failed to block the midpupal increase in ecdysone concentration.
