The androgen receptor DNA-binding domain determines androgen selectivity of transcriptional response.
The AR (androgen receptor) is a hormone-dependent transcription factor that translates circulating androgen hormone levels into a physiological cellular response by directly regulating the expression of its target genes. It is the key molecule in e.g. the development and maintenance of the male sexual characteristics, spermatocyte production and prostate gland development and growth. It is also...
متن کاملComparative Investigation of R213G Mutation in DNA-Binding Domain of P53 Protein via Molecular Dynamics Simulation
Introduction: P53 is a tumor suppressor protein with numerous missense mutations identified in its gene. These mutations are observed in a vast number of cancers. R213G is one of them which has a role in metastatic lung cancers. In this research, R213G was studied in comparison with the wild type via molecular dynamics simulation. Method: For the three-dimensional structure of the wild-type P53...

متن کاملIdentification of a highly conserved domain in the androgen receptor that suppresses the DNA-binding domain-DNA interactions.
The androgen receptor (AR) is a ligand-regulated and sequence-specific transcription factor that activates or represses expression of target genes. Here, we show that the N terminus of AR contains an inhibitory domain located in an 81-amino acid segment lying upstream of the DNA-binding domain (DBD). The inhibitory domain interacted directly with DBD and repressed DBD binding to the androgen re...
متن کاملStructure of the homodimeric androgen receptor ligand-binding domain
The androgen receptor (AR) plays a crucial role in normal physiology, development and metabolism as well as in the aetiology and treatment of diverse pathologies such as androgen insensitivity syndromes (AIS), male infertility and prostate cancer (PCa). Here we show that dimerization of AR ligand-binding domain (LBD) is induced by receptor agonists but not by antagonists. The 2.15-Å crystal str...
