    • In accordance with the present invention, there are provided targeted loss of function mutant mice which express less than endogenous levels of at least one member of the steroid/thyroid superfamily of receptors in at least one specific tissue type. For example, mutations in the RXR&agr; gene in mouse germlines are lethal in the embryonic stage between E13.5 and E16.5 when bred to homozygosity. The major defect responsible for this lethal effect is hypoplastic development of the ventricular chambers of the heart, which is manifest as a grossly thinned ventricular wall with concurrent defects in ventricular septation. This phenotype is identical to a subset of the effects of embryonic vitamin A deficiency, and therefore establishes RXR&agr; as a genetic component of the vitamin A signaling pathway in cardiac morphogenesis. The cardiac outflow tracts and associated vessels, which are populated by derivatives of the neural crest and which are also sensitive to vitamin A deficiency, are normal in homozygous embryos, indicating the genetic independence of ventricular chamber development. Hepatic differentiation was dramatically but transiently retarded, yet is histologically and morphologically normal. These results ascribe an essential function for the RXR&agr; gene in embryonic development, and provide the first evidence of a requirement for RXR in one of its predicted hormone response pathways.
    • 根据本发明,提供了在至少一种特定组织类型中表达低于受体的类固醇/甲状腺超家族的至少一种成员的内源水平的功能突变小鼠的靶向丧失。 例如,当培育成纯合子时,E13.5和E16.5之间的胚胎阶段,小鼠种系中RXRalpha基因的突变是致命的。 负责这种致死作用的主要缺陷是心脏心室的发育不良,这表现为心室隔膜同时缺陷的严重变薄的心室壁。 这种表型与胚胎维生素A缺乏症的一个亚组相同,因此在心脏形态发生中建立了RXRalpha作为维生素A信号通路的遗传成分。 由神经嵴的衍生物填充并且对维生素A缺乏敏感的心脏流出道和相关血管在纯合胚中是正常的,表明心室发育的遗传独立性。 肝分化显着但短暂延迟,但组织学和形态学正常。 这些结果归因于胚胎发育中RXRalpha基因的基本功能,并提供了其预测的激素反应途径之一的RXR要求的第一个证据。

    • Heterodimerization is a common paradigm among eucaryotic transcription factors, though it remains unclear how individual monomers contribute to the overall transcriptional activities of the complex. The 9-cis retinoic acid receptor (RXR) serves as a common heterodimerization partner for several nuclear receptors including the thyroid hormone (T3R), retinoic acid (RAR) and vitamin D receptors. A strategy has been devised to examine the transcriptional properties of each receptor individually or when tethered to a heterodimeric partner. It has been found that the intrinsic activity of RXR is masked in RXR-T3R and RXR-RAR heterodimers. In contrast, a novel RXR-Nurr1 heterodimer described herein is highly responsive to RXR ligands, suggesting that different partners exert unique allosteric control over the RXR response. These findings establish a novel 9-cis retinoic acid response pathway and resolve the paradox as to how T3R, RAR and VDR contribute to distinct physiologic pathways while sharing a common RXR subunit.
    • 异源二聚化是真核转录因子中的常见范例,尽管单个单体如何有助于复合物的整体转录活性仍不清楚。 9-顺式视黄酸受体(RXR)用作几种核受体(包括甲状腺激素(T3R),视黄酸(RAR)和维生素D受体)的常见异源二聚体配偶体。 已经设计出一种策略来单独检测每个受体的转录特性,或者当连接到异二聚体配偶体时。 已经发现在RXR-T3R和RXR-RAR异二聚体中RXR的固有活性被掩蔽。 相比之下,本文描述的新型RXR-Nurr1异源二聚体对RXR配体具有高度响应性,表明不同的合作伙伴对RXR应答发挥独特的变构控制。 这些研究结果建立了一种新的9-顺式视黄酸反应途径,并解决了T3R,RAR和VDR如何在共享一个共同的RXR亚基时对不同的生理途径有贡献的矛盾。

    • A novel retinoic acid receptor is disclosed. The novel receptor is encoded for by CDNA carried on plasmid phRAR1, which has been deposited with the American Type Culture Collection for patent purposes. Chimeric receptor proteins are also disclosed. The chimera are constructed by exchanging functional domains between the glucocorticoid, the mineralocorticoid, the estrogen-related, the thyroid and the retinoic acid receptors. In addition, a novel method for identifying functional ligands for receptor proteins is disclosed. The method, which takes advantage of the modular structure of the hormone receptors and the idea that the functional domains may be interchangeable, replaces the DNA-binding domain of a putative novel receptor with the DNA-binding domain of a known receptor such as the glucocorticoid receptor. The resulting chimeric construction, when expressed in cells, produces a hybrid receptor whose activation of a ligand--(e.g., glucocorticoid) inducible promoter is dependent on the presence of the new ligand. The novel method is illustrated in part by showing that the ligand for the new receptor protein is the retinoid, retinoic acid.
