Consensus sequences of DNA response elements for different nuclear hormone receptors The glucocorticoid receptor and oestrogen receptor bind to their respective response elements as homodimers. The response element is an inverted repeat The vitamin D receptor, the thyroid hormone receptor and the retinoic acid receptor bind to their respective response elements as heterodimers (with RXR). The response element is an direct repeat. The spacing between these repeats determines the specificity of the interaction. Fig 11.42 Lodish et al. Molecular Cell Biology

Grouping according to the localisation of the receptor (1) A. steroid type GR, AR, PR, MR, ER no silencer effect but repressor effects longer A/B domain associated to hsp when no ligand is bound no HRE binding without ligand must dimerise for HRE binding activation domains agonist, antagonist binding sites (different) importance of LBD

Modulating factors 1. presence of ligands 2. activation without ligands 3. receptor phosphorylation 4. structure of binding site – chromatin structure 5. nuclear non-receptor transcription factors
Modulating factors presence of ligands ligand metabolism (e.g. metamorphosis, prostate: dihydrotestosterone production enhanced AR effect) activation without ligands effect of neurotransmitters on sexual behaviour effect of growth factors membrane receptor nuclear receptor dopamine PR, ER, VDR activating effect EGF activates ER – it can be prevented by antiestrogens „crosstalk”
Modulating factors receptor phosphorylation needed for transactivation? roles needed for receptor transport? activation without ligands? nuclear DNA-dependent protein kinases „half binding site” the order of heterodimer according to the binding site hormone-induced changes in DNA conformation multiple sites presumably (also) after DNA binding size of the „interface” structure of binding site – structure of chromatin RXR - TR TR - VDR alteration of nucleosome structure
Chromatin-based mechanisms Histone deacetylases (HDAC) corepressors since they don’t recognize DNA directly but are recruited by association with sequence-specific, DNA-binding proteins. HDAC cleaves the acetyl moiety from histone tails. Thyroid hormone receptor (TR) provides an example of a DNA binding protein that switches activity by changing its associated cofactor.In the absence of thyroxin, TR associates with a target gene but inhibits transcription because TR recruits an HDAC complex.Thyroxin induces a conformational change upon binding TR and causes dissociation of the HDAC and association of a HAT complex. This contributes to transcriptional activation.
