Requirements for heterodimerization between the orphan nuclear receptor Nurr1 and retinoid X receptors.
The nuclear receptor nurr1 is a transcription factor involved in the development and maintenance of neurons synthesizing the neurotransmitter dopamine. Although the lack of nurr1 expression has dramatic consequences for these cells either in terms of differentiation or survival, the mechanisms by which nurr1 controls gene transcription still remain unclear. In the intent to understand better th...
متن کاملParathyroid hormone induces expression of the nuclear orphan receptor Nurr1 in bone cells.
Following PTH treatment, immediate changes in osteoblast gene expression involve induction of primary response genes. Primary gene products subsequently mediate the osteoblast response to PTH. Using representational difference analysis (RDA) to isolate primary genes induced by PTH in osteoblasts, we identified Nurr1, a member of the NGFI-B nuclear orphan receptor subfamily. Nurr1 binds DNA as a...
متن کاملMultiple signaling pathways regulate the transcriptional activity of the orphan nuclear receptor NURR1
The orphan nuclear receptor nurr1 (NR4A2) is an essential transcription factor for the acquisition and maintenance of the phenotype of dopamine (DA)-synthesizing neurons in the mesencephalon. Although structurally related to ligand-regulated nuclear receptors, nurr1 is functionally atypical due to its inability to bind a cognate ligand and to activate transcription following canonical nuclear r...
متن کامل1,1-Bis(3'-indolyl)-1-(p-chlorophenyl)methane activates the orphan nuclear receptor Nurr1 and inhibits bladder cancer growth.
Nurr1 is an orphan nuclear receptor and a member of the nerve growth factor I-B subfamily of transcription factors with no known endogenous ligand or stimulator. We show, for the first time, evidence that Nurr1 is expressed in a panel of 11 human bladder cancer cell lines. A new class of methylene-substituted diindolylmethanes (C-DIM) were screened and 1,1-bis(3'-indolyl)-1-(p-chlorophenyl)meth...
متن کاملNGFI-B nuclear orphan receptor Nurr1 interacts with p53 and suppresses its transcriptional activity.
Nurr1 is a member of the NGFI-B nuclear orphan receptor family which includes two other members, Nur77 and Nor-1. Nurr1 is essential for the development and survival of dopaminergic neurons. It was reported that Nurr1 has antiapoptotic functions, however, the mechanisms by which Nurr1 mediates these effects remain unknown. Here, we show that overexpression of Nurr1 decreases Bax expression wher...
