    • In accordance with the present invention, there are provided new members of the steroid receptor superfamily of receptors, a representative member of which has been designated XOR-6. Invention receptors are responsive to hydroxy, mercapto or amino benzoates, and are expressed, for example, in Xenopus laevis embryos. XOR-6 is most closely, although distantly, related to the vitamin D3 receptor (VDR). The proteins are about 73% identical in amino acid sequence in the DNA-binding domains and about 42% identical in the ligand binding domain. Like VDR, XOR-6 has an extended D region between the DNA and ligand binding domains. Notably, the region amino-terminal to the XOR-6 DNA-binding domain is extremely acidic. This may influence its ability to activate target genes. XOR-6 is not restricted to Xenopus because southern blots show the presence of XOR-6-related sequences in a variety of other vertebrates. Indeed, a human genomic clone for an XOR-6 related gene has recently been isolated. In accordance with a particular aspect of the present invention, there are also provided nucleic acid sequences encoding the above-identified receptor, as well as constructs and cells containing same, and probes derived therefrom. Furthermore, we have also discovered that hydroxy, mercapto or amino benzoates modulate the transcription activating effects of invention receptors.
    • 根据本发明,提供了类固醇受体超家族受体的新成员,其代表性成员被称为XOR-6。 发明受体对羟基,巯基或氨基苯甲酸酯有反应,并且例如在非洲爪蟾胚胎中表达。 XOR-6与维生素D3受体(VDR)有密切的关系。 蛋白质在DNA结合结构域中的氨基酸序列约为73%,配体结合域约为42%。 像VDR一样,XOR-6在DNA和配体结合域之间具有扩展的D区。 值得注意的是,XOR-6 DNA结合结构域的氨基末端区域是极酸性的。 这可能会影响其激活靶基因的能力。 XOR-6不仅限于非洲爪蟾,因为南部印迹显示在各种其他脊椎动物中存在XOR-6相关序列。 事实上,最近已经分离了XOR-6相关基因的人基因组克隆。 根据本发明的特定方面,还提供了编码上述受体的核酸序列,以及含有该受体的构建体和细胞,以及由其衍生的探针。 此外,我们还发现羟基,巯基或氨基苯甲酸酯调节本发明受体的转录激活作用。

    • 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.
