6) Tell me about the structure of the JH receptor. What two proteins are needed to make a functional JH receptor? Where in the cell will you find these proteins before they bind JH? When JH binds to the receptor, what is the mode of action for the response? What happens within cells when JH binds to a functional receptor? (8 pts)
