    • The present invention provides substantially pure DNA's comprised of sequences which encode proteins having the hormone-binding and/or transcription-activating characteristics of a glucocorticoid receptor, a mineralocorticoid receptor, or a thyroid hormone receptor. The invention also provides various plasmids containing receptor sequences which exemplify the DNA's of the invention. The invention further provides receptor proteins, including modified functional forms thereof, expressed from the DNA's (or mRNA's) of the invention. In addition to the novel receptor DNA, RNA and protein compositions, the present invention involves a bioassay for determining the functionality of a receptor protein. By using our bioassay system we have discovered that a necessary and sufficient condition for activation of transcription of a gene (G), whose transcription is activated by hormones complexed with receptors, is the presence of the hormone and its receptor in the cell (C) where (G) is located. As a result of that discovery we have also invented new methods for producing desired proteins in genetically engineered cells. Two of these methods are methods of the present invention. The first is a method for inducing transcription of a gene whose transcription is activated by hormones complexed with the receptors. The second is a method for engineering a cell and increasing and controlling production of a protein encoded by a gene whose transcription is activated by hormones complexed with receptor proteins.

    • Bioassays are disclosed which are useful for determining whether a compound is a hormone receptor agonist (i.e., is capable of promoting the transcription-activation activities of such receptors) or a hormone receptor antagonist (i.e., is capable of blocking the transcription-activation activities of such receptors). The invention bioassay is conducted by culturing test cells in the presence of at least one compound whose ability to function as a ligand for said receptor protein (or functional engineered or modified forms thereof) is sought to be determined. Alternatively, test cells are cultured in medium containing increasing concentrations of at least one compound whose ability to inhibit the transcription activation activity of hormone receptor agonists is sought to be determined, and a fixed concentration of at least one agonist for the receptor protein. Test cells employed in the practice of the present invention contain non-endogenous DNA which expresses hormone receptor (or functional modified forms thereof) and a DNA sequence encoding a hormone response element operatively linked to a reporter gene. The cultured cells are monitored for evidence of transcription of the reporter gene as a function of the concentration of test compound in the culture medium. The variation in transcription levels of the reporter gene as a function of concentration of test compound indicates the ability of test compound to promote or inhibit activation of transcription.

    • 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.

    • The present invention relates to bioassays for evaluating compounds as potential antagonists for members of the steroid hormone superfamily of receptor protein(s). The invention bioassay comprises culturing test cells expressing steroid receptor protein in the presence of increasing concentrations of at least one compound whose ability to inhibit the action of agonists on members of the steroid hormone superfamily of receptors is sought to be determined, and a fixed concentration of at least one agonist for said steroid hormone receptor protein(s). Test cells employed in the practice of the present invention contain DNA which expresses a member of the steroid hormone superfamily of receptor protein(s) in a form having improved trans-activation transcription activity, relative to wild-type receptor, and a DNA sequence comprising a response element for said hormone receptor protein operatively linked to a reporter gene. Improved trans-activation transcription activity is provided by receptor having a plurality of at least one parental receptor trans-activation domain selected from .tau..sub.1 or .tau..sub.2, located outside the DNA-binding and ligand-binding domains of the receptor protein. The invention assay is completed by monitoring the level of expression of reporter gene product as a function of the concentration of potential antagonist compound in the culture medium, thereby indicating the ability of potential antagonist compound(s) to inhibit activation of members of the steroid hormone superfamily of receptors.

    • The present invention discloses two hormone receptor-related bioassays. The first bioassay is useful for determining whether a protein suspected of being a hormone receptor has transcription-activating properties of a hormone receptor. The second bioassay is useful for evaluating whether compounds are functional ligands for receptor proteins. According to the first bioassay, cells that contain non-endogenous DNA which expresses a protein suspected of being a hormone receptor and which contain a DNA sequence encoding an operative hormone responsive promoter/enhancer element linked to an operative reporter gene, are cultured, the culturing being conducted in a culture medium containing a known hormone, or an analog thereof. The cultured cells are then monitored for induction of the product of the reporter gene as an indication of functional transcription-activating binding between the hormone or hormone analog and the protein suspected of being a hormone receptor. According to the second bioassay, cells that contain non-endogenous DNA which expresses hormone receptor or a functional engineered or modified form thereof, and which also contain a DNA sequence encoding an operative hormone responsive promoter/enhancer element linked to an operative reporter gene, are cultured, the culturing being conducted in culture medium containing at least one compound whose ability to functionally bind the receptor protein is sought to be determined. The cultured cells are then monitored for induction of the product of the report gene as an indicator of functional binding between the compound and the receptor.

    • Mammalian genes that encode hormones are cloned and linked to strong promoter DNA sequences. The linked sequences are inserted in plasmids for amplification in prokaryotic cells, and multiple copies of the linked sequences are excised therefrom. Linked sequences are subsequently microinjected into fertilized eggs and the fertilized eggs are implanted into pseudo-pregnent females of the same species. As a result, transgenic animals are born having the linked sequences incorporated into their genomes and expressing the gene-encoded hormone. Because multiple copies of the linked sequences are frequently inserted and because production of the hormone is not limited to certain organs, as is the case with most endogenous hormones, the transgenic animals produce substantial amounts of the hormone. Hormone can be harvested from the living animal (and from its hormone-producing progeny) by extracting fluid, such as blood serum or ascites fluid, on a regular basis.
    • 编码激素的哺乳动物基因被克隆并与强启动子DNA序列连接。 将连接的序列插入质粒用于在原核细胞中扩增,并从其中切除连接序列的多个拷贝。 随后将连锁序列显微注射到受精卵中,将受精卵植入相同物种的假怀孕女性。 结果,转基因动物出生后将连锁序列并入其基因组并表达基因编码的激素。 由于连锁序列的多个拷贝经常插入,因为激素的产生不限于某些器官,如大多数内源激素的情况,转基因动物产生大量的激素。 通过定期地提取液体,如血清或腹水,可以从活的动物(以及来自其激素产生的后代)中收获激素。

    • In accordance with the present invention, there are provided methods for modulating Phase II conjugating enzymes such as, for example, UGTs. Phase II conjugating enzymes such as UGTs function in concert with Phase I monooxygenase enzymes such as cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs) to eliminate steroids and xenobiotics. Nuclear receptors SXR/PXR and CAR are xenosensors regulating expression of CYP genes such as CYP3A and 2B. The ability of this group of receptors to regulate expression of UGT in response to steroids and/or xenobiotics provides novel approaches for direct regulation/activation of a glucuronidation pathway, thereby providing methods to achieve physiologic homeostasis with respect to steroids and/or xenobiotics. SXR/PXR and CAR regulation/activation of UGT represents the first evidence of receptors that can transduce/transactivate both Phase I and Phase II adaptive hepatic response. In another aspect, the present invention also provides transgenic rodents expressing one or more of SXR, CAR or PXR.
