AbstractThe cell-specific expression and tissue distribution of c-erbA proteins α and β is still unknown. To address this problem, we prepared anti-peptide antibodies directed against epitopes of human (h) c-erbA, specific for the α or β form of thyroid hormone receptors. The cDNAs coding for h c-erbA β1, α1 and α2 were transcribed and the mRNAs were translated in vitro in the presence of 35S-methionine, and then their reactivity with the antisera was evaluated. The antiserum anti-β 62–81 immunoprecipitated only the β1 receptor. The antiserum anti-α 144–162 determined precipitation of both α1 and α2 proteins but not of the β1 receptor. Anti-α2 431–451 produced a selective precipitation of α2, and had no effect on α1 or β1 receptor. In order to study the interaction of the antibodies with native T3 receptor we evaluated the binding of antibodies to rat liver T3 receptors by Sephacryl S300 chromatography: both antisera anti-β 62–81 and anti-α 144–162 caused a partial shift of the labeled T3–receptor complex to a higher molecular form, while the antibody directed against c-erbA α2 did not produce any significant shift. The anti-peptide antibodies were then immunopurified by affinity chromatography and used to immunolocalize the different forms of c-erb A proteins in adult and fetal rat liver, by a sensitive immunohistochemical technique. All 3 antibodies stained mainly the nuclei of the majority of adult liver cells. No staining was detectable when the original antiserum was deprived of anti-peptide antibodies by running through the affinity columns or when the antibodies were pre-absorbed with the homologous peptide. No significant staining was present in the liver from rat fetus. 相似文献

Different point mutations have been identified in the T3-binding domain of the c-erbA beta thyroid hormone receptor gene that are associated with variant phenotypes of generalized thyroid hormone resistance (GTHR). In most cases of GTHR, heterozygotes are affected; a single mutant allele results in the inhibition of the function of normal thyroid hormone receptors. We report here a novel genetic abnormality, a 3-basepair (bp) deletion in the T3-binding domain of the beta-receptor in a kindred, S, with GTHR. One patient, S1, was the product of a consanguineous union of two heterozygotes and was homozygous for this defect. Heterozygotes from kindred S harbored a CAC deletion at nucleotides 1295-1297, which resulted in the deduced loss of amino acid residue threonine at codon 332, and they displayed elevated free T4 levels and inappropriately normal TSH levels characteristic of other kindreds with GTHR. However, patient S1, who had two mutant alleles, had markedly elevated TSH and free T4 levels and displayed profound abnormalities in brain development and linear growth. A fibroblast c-erbA beta cDNA extending from codon 175 to stop codon 457 was cloned from patient S1, sequenced, and used to create a full-length mutant cDNA. The kindred S mutant receptor was synthesized in vitro and did not bind T3. This mutant receptor did bind with similar avidity as the wild-type human beta-receptor to thyroid hormone response elements of the human TSH beta (-12 to 43 bp) and rat GH (-188 to -160 bp) genes. Kindred S showed the effect in man of heterozygous and homozygous expression of a dominant negative form of c-erbA beta. 相似文献

We have previously reported a family, Kindred A, with autosomal dominant generalized thyroid hormone resistance in which affected members were found to have a mutation in the carboxy-terminal domain of the c-erbA beta thyroid hormone receptor. In the current study, the thyroid hormone and DNA-binding properties of this mutant receptor were determined using c-erbA beta protein synthesized in vitro. Both the wild-type human placental c-erbA beta and Kindred A receptors bound [125I]-triiodothyronine, although the Kindred A receptor had decreased affinity for the hormone. The affinity for triiodothyronine was 4.5 x 10(9) M-1 and 2.3 x 10(10) M-1 for the mutant and wild-type receptors, respectively. No abnormality of DNA-binding was detected with the Kindred A receptor using a sensitive avidin-biotin DNA-binding assay with DNA fragments containing thyroid hormone response elements. The Kindred A mutant receptor which displays abnormal triiodothyronine-binding but normal DNA-binding activities in vitro acts as a dominant negative inhibitor of thyroid hormone action in man. 相似文献

We have isolated and characterized a cDNA encoding a chicken beta homolog of c-erbA, or thyroid hormone receptor (TR). Chicken liver cDNA libraries were screened with a rat TR beta-1 cDNA probe, and several cDNA inserts were isolated and characterized. The sequence of one cDNA predicts a 369-amino-acid open reading frame (ORF), with a protein sequence that possesses 96% identity with that of rat TR beta-1, but only 88% identity with chicken TR alpha. These data indicate that the cDNA likely encodes a beta form of TR that has the expected putative DNA and T3 binding domains. The chicken TR beta (chTR beta) in vitro translated protein binds T3 with high affinity, and binds both the thyroid hormone response element (TRE) from the rat growth hormone gene and the Xenopus vitellogenin A2 gene estrogen response element (ERE), similarly to that of the rat TR beta-1. Northern blot analysis revealed the expression of a 7.0-kb RNA in several tissues including cerebellum, pituitary, kidney, and liver. This chicken liver TR beta cDNA sequence varies in both the 5' and 3' untranslated regions from the chicken kidney TR beta cDNA sequence recently reported (Forrest et al., 1990). The 5' untranslated cDNA sequence divergence occurs near a potential splice site junction of the human TR beta gene, suggesting that this chicken liver cDNA may represent an alternatively spliced RNA product of the chicken TR beta gene. 相似文献

Putative thyroid hormone (TH) nuclear receptors have been detected in several tissues of Rana catesbeiana tadpoles. T3 receptor number (sites per nucleus) in red blood cells (RBCs) and tail increases substantially just before metamorphic climax or in response to exogenous TH; in contrast, receptor number in liver remains relatively constant. TH receptors in mammals and birds are thought to be encoded by a c-erbA gene. In the present study, two c-erbA cDNAs, one prepared from Xenopus laevis oocytes (XenTR alpha 1) and one prepared from Rana catesbeiana tail (RC12), were used to examine the c-erbA-related mRNA species in Rana catesbeiana tissues and determine their role in the TH induction of tadpole RBC receptor number. XenTR alpha 1 encodes a protein with T3-binding properties typical of TH receptors. RC12 is almost 99% homologous with XenTR alpha 1 at the amino acid level and contains all of the putative T3-binding region and most of the DNA-binding region. Using either cDNA as a probe, it was found that two major species of c-erbA-related mRNA species (2.6 and 4.0 kilobases) were clearly evident in tadpole RBCs, tail, and liver. A third, more diffuse band (approximately 5.0 kilobases) was observed in RBC and tail. In RBCs, but not in liver, the combined level of c-erbA-related mRNA species was increased during spontaneous metamorphosis or after administration of TH. Furthermore, the TH-induced increase in both c-erbA-related mRNA species and receptor number in RBCs was prevented if actinomycin-D was administered with TH.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

We have recently reported that, in contrast to the glucocorticoid receptor, the thyroid hormone receptor does not bind to hsp90 when the receptor is translated in rabbit reticulocyte lysate [Dalman, F. C., Koenig, R. J., Perdew, G. H., Massa, E., & Pratt, W. B. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 3615-3618]. All of the steroid receptors that are known to bind hsp90 are recovered in the cytosolic fraction when hormone-free cells are ruptured in hypotonic buffer. In contrast, unliganded thyroid hormone receptors and retinoic acid receptors are tightly associated with nuclear components. In this paper, we translated the human estrogen receptor and the human retinoic acid receptor in reticulocyte lysate and then immunoadsorbed the [35S]methionine-labeled translation products with the 8D3 monoclonal antibody against hsp90. The estrogen receptor is bound to hsp90, as indicated by coimmunoadsorption, but the retinoic acid receptor is not. Translation and immunoadsorption of chimeric proteins containing the DNA binding domain of one receptor and the N-terminal and COOH-terminal segments of the other show that the DNA binding finger region of the estrogen receptor is neither necessary nor sufficient for hsp90 binding. These observations suggest that there are two classes within the steroid receptor family. In one class (e.g., glucocorticoid, mineralocorticoid, sex hormone, and dioxin receptors), the receptors bind to hsp90 and remain in some kind of inactive "docking" mode until hormone-triggered release of hsp90 occurs. In the retinoic acid/thyroid hormone class, the unligated receptors do not bind to hsp90, and the receptors appear to proceed directly to their high-affinity nuclear acceptor sites without entering the "docking" state. 相似文献

Major progress has been achieved in the mechanism of action of thyroid hormones thanks to the identification of the T3 receptor as the product of the proto-oncogene c-erbA. Recognition of subsets of receptors with and without T3-binding properties and of the interaction of different receptors with each other leads to new insights in cell regulation and development. In thyroid hormone resistance, distinct mutations in the T3-binding domain of thyroid hormone receptor (TR)beta have been identified in unrelated families. No correlation between the type of mutation and tissue resistance has been established. Mutant TRs bind to thyroid hormone response elements (TREs) on both negative or positive T3-controlled genes. Subjects with heterozygous TR beta gene deletion are not affected, supporting the hypothesis that mutant TRs act through a dominant negative effect. In generalized thyroid hormone resistance, mutated TR beta may interfere through competition for TREs and/or formation of inactive dimers. Finally, deficiency in T3 receptor auxiliary protein or other accessory proteins or competition between mutant and normal TRs for these factors is not excluded. 相似文献

The effects of thyroid hormone on expression of cardiac myosin heavy chain genes generally are thought to be mediated by nuclear 3,5,3'-triiodo-L-thyronine (T3) receptors that have been identified as the products of the protooncogene, c-erbA. This hypothesis has been tested by transfection of cardiomyocytes in primary culture with a plasmid, pRSVhEACAT-, expressing anti-sense c-erbA mRNA. Because only a low percentage of cells (20%) could be transfected in primary culture an alpha-myosin heavy chain-chloramphenicol acetyltransferase fusion construct was used as a reporter gene. The results indicate that the anti-sense plasmid almost completely blocks T3-induced activity of the reporter gene (less than 1% control) while transfection of a similar amount of the sense construct, pRSVhEACAT+, has no effect. When the c-erbA plasmids were cotransfected with constructs containing T3-independent promoters, no effects on expression were observed. The combined use of an anti-sense construct and a report gene provides a means of studying the role of c-erbA products in intracellular signal transduction even in differentiated, nondividing cells like those of the heart. 相似文献

The c-erbA proto-oncogenes encode nuclear receptors for thyroid hormone (T3), a hormone intimately involved in mammalian brain maturation. To study thyroid hormone receptor (TR) action on neuronal cells in vitro, we expressed the chicken c-erbA/TR alpha-1 as well as its oncogenic variant v-erbA in the adrenal medulla progenitor cell line PC12. In the absence of T3, exogenous TR alpha-1 inhibits NGF-induced neuronal differentiation and represses neuron-specific gene expression. In contrast, TR alpha-1 allows normal differentiation and neuronal gene expression to occur in the presence of T3. Finally, TR alpha-1- expressing cells become NGF-responsive for proliferation when T3 is absent, but NGF-dependent for survival in presence of T3. A similar differentiation induction by NGF plus T3 was observed in a central nervous system-derived neuronal cell line (E 18) expressing exogenous TR alpha-1. Together with the finding that TR alpha-1 constitutively blocked dexamethasone-induced differentiation of PC12 cells into the chromaffin pathway, these results suggest that TR alpha-1 plays an important role in regulating commitment and maturation of neuronal progenitors. In contrast, the v-erbA oncogene, a mutated, oncogenic version of TR alpha-1, partially but constitutively inhibited NGF- induced neuronal differentiation of PC12 cells and potentiated dexamethasone-induced chromaffin differentiation, giving rise to an aberrant "interlineage" cell phenotype. 相似文献

Monoclonal antibodies were raised against the nuclear thyroid hormone receptors encoded by c-ERB A genes and against a purified nuclear receptor fraction. These antibodies recognize the c-ERB A protein in nuclear extracts from rat liver and are able to compete with thyroid hormone in Scatchard analyses. In sections of rat liver they react with all the hepatocyte nuclei as well as with the cells of the hepatic bile ducts. Comparison with another putative T3 receptor antibody, described previously, showed that distinct 57 kD proteins with a different cellular distribution were recognized. 相似文献
