We have isolated and initially characterized a novel set of four genes expressed during the prepupal differentiation of imaginal discs of Drosophila melanogaster. These four ecdysone-dependent genes are named EDG-42A, EDG-64CD, EDG-78E and EDG-84A-1 based on their respective chromosomal locations. Their expression is like that expected for genes encoding proteins that participate in the formation of the pupal cuticle. Transcripts complementary to these genes accumulate in imaginal discs during an 18-hr in vitro culture period that begins with a 6-hr pulse of 20-hydroxyecdysone (20-HE). Transcripts for three of these genes were not detected in imaginal discs following culture in the absence or the continuous presence of 20-HE (1 microgram/ml). Transcripts corresponding to EDG-64CD exhibit delayed accumulation in the continuous presence of 20-HE. Transcripts corresponding to three of the genes are only detected in the prepupal stage of development. Only EDG-64CD is complementary to transcripts present at other stages of development. One of the genes, EDG-78E, encodes a pupal cuticle protein. This is the first reported isolation of a set of steroid hormone-responsive genes that require first the presence, then removal of hormone for transcript accumulation.
