Figure 4: Proposed model for the activation of the MfR by methyl farnesoate.
From: Agonist-mediated assembly of the crustacean methyl farnesoate receptor
(a) Met is rhythmically produced and accumulates as multimers which (b) dissociate upon binding methyl farnesoate. Methyl farnesoate-bound Met then dimerizes with SRC (c). This activated complex serves as a transcription factor to regulate responsive genes (d).
