Prediction of nuclear hormone receptor response elements.
The nuclear receptor (NR) class of transcription factors controls critical regulatory events in key developmental processes, homeostasis maintenance, and medically important diseases and conditions. Identification of the members of a regulon controlled by a NR could provide an accelerated understanding of development and disease. New bioinformatics methods for the analysis of regulatory sequenc...
متن کاملNUBIScan, an in silico approach for prediction of nuclear receptor response elements.
Nuclear receptors (NRs) are transcription factors activated by a multitude of hormones, other endogenous substances, and exogenous molecules. These proteins modulate the regulation of target genes by contacting their promoter or enhancer sequences at specific recognition sites. The identification of these response elements is the first step toward detailed insight into the regulatory mechanisms...
متن کاملFunction of nuclear co-repressor protein on thyroid hormone response elements is regulated by the receptor A/B domain.
Recently, a family of nuclear co-repressor proteins (TRACs) have been identified that interact with thyroid hormone (TR) and retinoic acid receptors to mediate ligand-independent repression of gene transcription. In this report, we have cloned and characterized a human TRAC, which when expressed as a truncated protein lacking its repressing domains, can abolish endogenous cellular TRAC activity...
متن کاملHeterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) binding to hormone response elements: a cause of vitamin D resistance.
In previous studies, we have shown that steroid hormone resistance in New World primates occurs in the absence of abnormal expression of cognate nuclear receptors. Rather, these animals have elevated levels of heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) that act as hormone response element-binding proteins and attenuate target gene transactivation. Here we present evidence for a similar m...
متن کاملCharacterization of the interaction of the human mineralocorticosteroid receptor with hormone response elements.
Although the mineralocorticosteroid receptor (MR) belongs to the superfamily of hormone-dependent transcription factors, the molecular mechanism by which it regulates gene expression is poorly understood. Binding of the MR to target gene promoters has never been characterized, and specific mineralocorticosteroid response elements (MREs) remain to be identified. The human MR (hMR) was overexpres...
