Ligand specificities of recombinant retinoic acid receptors RAR alpha and RAR beta. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4 下载免费PDF全文
Binding of retinoic acid (RA) to specific RA receptors alpha and beta (RAR alpha and RAR beta) was studied. Receptors were obtained in two ways: (1) full-length receptors were produced by transient expression of the respective human cDNAs in COS 1 cells; and (2) the ligand-binding domains of RAR alpha and RAR beta were produced in Escherichia coli. RA binding to the wild-type and truncated forms of the receptor was identical for both RAR alpha and RAR beta, indicating that the ligand-binding domains have retained the binding characteristics of the intact receptors. Furthermore, RA bound with the same affinity to both RAR alpha and RAR beta. Only retinoid analogues with an acidic end-group were able to actively bind to both receptors. On measuring the binding of various retinoids, we have found that the properties of the ligand-binding sites of RAR alpha and RAR beta were rather similar. Two retinoid analogues were capable of binding preferentially to either RAR alpha or RAR beta, suggesting that it may be possible to synthesize specific ligands for RAR alpha and RAR beta. 相似文献

The orphan nuclear receptor TR2 functions as a constitutive activator for the endogenous retinoic acid receptor beta2 (RAR(beta2)) gene expression in P19 embryonal carcinoma cells and for reporters driven by the RAR(beta2) promoter in COS-1 cells. The activation of RAR(beta2) by TR2 is mediated by the direct repeat-5 (DR5) element located in the RAR(beta2) promoter. Furthermore, cAMP exerts an enhancing effect on the activation of RAR(beta2) by TR2, which is mediated by the cAMP response element located in the 5'-flanking region of the DR5. The constitutive activation function-1 (AF-1) of TR2 is mapped to amino acid residues 10-30 in its N-terminal A segment. A direct molecular interaction occurs between CREMtau and TR2, detected by co-immunoprecipitation, which is mediated by the N-terminal AB segment of TR2. In gel mobility shift assays, TR2 competes with P19 nuclear factor binding to the RAR(beta2) promoter, and TR2 and CREMtau bind simultaneously to this DNA fragment. The role of TR2 in the early events of RA signaling process is discussed. 相似文献

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) activates multiple signaling pathways following binding to the PTH1 receptor in osteoblasts. Previous work revealed a discrepancy between cAMP stimulation and CRE reporter activation of truncated PTH peptides, suggesting that additional signaling pathways contribute to activation of the CRE. Using a CRE‐Luciferase reporter containing multiple copies of the CRE stably transfected into the osteoblastic cell line Saos‐2, we tested the ability of modulators of alternative pathways to activate the CRE or block the PTH‐induced activation of the CRE. Activators of non‐cyclic AMP pathways, that is, EGF (Akt, MAPK, JAK/STAT pathways); thapsigargin (intracellular calcium pathway); phorbol myristate acetate (protein kinase C, PKC pathway) induced minor increases in CRE‐luciferase activity alone but induced dramatic synergistic effects in combination with PTH. The protein kinase A (PKA) inhibitor H‐89 (10 µM) almost completely blocked PTH‐induced activation of the CRE‐reporter. Adenylate cyclase inhibitors SQ 22536 and DDA had profound and time‐dependent biphasic effects on the CRE response. The MAPK inhibitor PD 98059 partially inhibited basal and PTH‐induced CRE activity to the same degree, while the PKC inhibitor bisindolylmaleimide (BIS) had variable effects. The calmodulin kinase II inhibitor KN‐93 had no significant effect on the response to PTH. We conclude that non‐cAMP pathways (EGF pathway, calcium pathway, PKC pathway) converge on, and have synergistic effects on, the response of a CRE reporter to PTH. J. Cell.

The amino terminus of Tax is required for interaction with the cyclic AMP response element binding protein. 总被引:4,自引:5,他引:4 下载免费PDF全文
Tax of human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 was analyzed for interaction with the cyclic AMP response element binding protein (CREB) in vitro with and without Tax response element DNA. Mutations in the carboxy terminus of Tax (L296G and L320G) did not affect binding to CREB and led to supershifts. In contrast, mutants with changes in the amino-terminal cysteine-rich region lost the ability to bind to CREB. The S10A mutant protein bound moderately. Thus, the amino terminus of Tax is essential for Tax-CREB interaction. 相似文献
