Download or read book Transcription Induction Integrated by Nuclear Receptor Coregulators written by Eric Dammer and published by . This book was released on 2009-02-01 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies carried out during the past decade have shown that transcription of inducible eukaryotic genes involves sequential chromatin modifications by promoter-specific transcription factors and a class of proteins called transcription coregulators. First, this work identifed important chromatin modifications and modifying complexes at the CYP17 transcription start site and nearby steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1) binding site. Post translational modifications (PTMs) to SF-1 also occur as this transcription factor interacts with the promoter. In addition, ACTH/cAMP signaling in adrenal cortex alters SF-1-containing chromatin- modifying complexes during the early phase of transcriptional induction of CYP17. Chromatin IP (ChIP) and mammalian two hybrid experiments identified complexes which are cAMP-inducible, but sensitive to the SF-1 antagonist sphingosine. SF-1 PTMs at the ligand binding pocket opening were found to be required for CYP17 transcription. Last, certain corepressors are protein kinase A (PKA) targets and are functionally sensitive to PKA- dependent NADH accumulation. Thus, signaling, metabolism, and transcription are integrated.

Download or read book Nuclear Receptors From Structure to the Clinic written by Iain J. McEwan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-08-20 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear Receptors focuses on the structural analysis of nuclear receptors from the initial work using isolated protein domains to the more recent exciting developments investigating the conformational shape of full-length receptor complexes. The book also reviews the structure of key nuclear receptor co-regulatory proteins. It brings together, for the first time, a comprehensive review of nuclear receptor structure and the importance of receptor conformation underpinning allosteric regulation by different ligands (hormone, drugs, DNA response elements, protein-protein interactions) and receptor activity. The nuclear receptor superfamily, including receptors for steroid hormones and non-steroid ligands, are pivotal to normal physiology, regulating processes as diverse as reproduction, metabolism, the immune system and brain development. The first members of the family were cloned over 25 years ago, which heralded in the idea of a superfamily of intracellular receptor proteins that bound small molecule ligands: classical steroid hormones, vitamins, fatty acids and other products of metabolism. These signals are then transmitted through multiprotein receptor-DNA complexes, leading to the regulation of target genes, often in a cell-selective manner. The cloning of the receptor cDNAs also ushered in an era of unparalleled analysis of the mechanisms of action of these ligand-activated transcription factors.

Download or read book Genetic Steroid Disorders written by David M. Lonard and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-08-22 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear receptors are transcription factors that bind steroid, retinoid and thyroid hormones, and other ligands to drive hormone-dependent gene expression in conjunction with co-activators and co-repressors, collectively referred to as co-regulators. So far, more than 400 co-regulators have been reported in the literature and they have been implicated in a wide variety of pathological conditions, genetic syndromes, and in cancer. A key feature of co-regulator-based disease is the pleiotropic effects that disruption of normal co-regulator function has on energy metabolism, neurological function, and susceptibility to cancer. Technological advances in proteomics, genomics, and transcriptomics are leading to new ways to understand the pleiotropic actions of co-regulators. We expect that co-regulator ‘omics’ will lead to ways of understanding how co-regulators can be evaluated in the context of other complex genetic factors, hormones, diet, the environment, and stress. The broad role that co-regulators have in human pathological conditions makes it important to consider them as important new drug targets, such as for the treatment of hormone-dependent cancers or for indications related to energy metabolism. Better system-wide knowledge of co-regulator control of transcription and physiology is expected to lead to the best placement for future co-regulator-based therapies.
Download or read book Role of Nuclear Receptor Coregulators in Hormone Resistant Breast Cancer written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To determine whether the agonist activities of tamoxifen are exaggerated in hormone-resistant breast cancers. Scope. We proposed that coregulatory proteins influence the direction of transcription by antagonist-occupied steroid receptors. We screened for such proteins, and identified three novel cDNA fragments encoding peptides that interact with antagonist-bound PRs. The aims were to clone the complete cDNAs and define their structure (Aim 1); define the role of the unknown proteins on receptor activity (Aim 2); and, if appropriate, determine the role of these proteins in hormone dependency of breast cancers (Aim 3). Major Findings - Results. We have focused on one novel cDNA fragment, designated ORF#g3. We cloned the full-length cDNA; assembled its genomic structure; localized the gene to chromosome I 5q23. I; expressed the full-length protein; defined its tissue distribution; determined its subcellular localization to be cytoplasmic; and generated a polyclonal antibody that probes a 103 kDa protein. Functional studies have been completed. The protein is not a ligand-specific transcriptional regulator, but does affect overall transcription. Antisense studies show ORF#93 also blocks corepressor action on ER. The protein does not affect PR nuclear translocation, but interacts also with hsp9O; Significance. We now believe that ORF#93 has a cytoplasmic "scaffolding" function, and allows receptors to interact with other proteins in multiprotein complexes, perhaps in association with hsp9O. If so, ORF#93 may be important for cross-talk between growth factor and nuclear receptor signaling pathways.

Download or read book Nuclear Receptors written by Mostafa Z. Badr and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 676 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear receptors are ligand activated transcription factors that control numerous biological functions. Consequently, altering activity of these receptors is proposed, and indeed documented, to affect many physiological and pathological conditions in experimental animals and humans. Thus, nuclear receptors have become a major target in the effort to treat numerous diseases. This book will shed light on and emphasize intricate processes involved in designing as well as discovering physiological and pharmacological modulators of these important proteins. World-renowned scientists will share with the reader their professional expertise and extensive experience acquired through decades working with nuclear receptors. Chapters address the various means and consequences of modulating nuclear receptor activity will be presented and discussed. These modulators cover a wide span of moieties ranging from synthetic chemicals to natural products. In addition, the classification of these chemicals ranges from pan agonists to selective agonists and inverse agonists to antagonists. They also include proteolytic means to obliterate the receptor in the event that modulating its activity through canonical pharmacological agents becomes less effective and/or less desirable due to anticipated or experienced toxicities. Modulation of receptor activity may also take place in the absence of a ligand or through manipulating the structure of the receptor itself by controlling posttranslational events.

Book excerpt: "The Symposium aimed to integrate a very broad field of investigative effort, bringing together advances in our understanding of energy intake, consumption, and storage (diet, exercise, and fat), oxygen regulation and hypoxia, circadian rhythms, and life span/aging. The Symposium explored metabolism at molecular (gene expression, posttranslational modifications, protein turnover, cofactors and integrators, hormones, and signals), organellar (mitochondria), cellular, organ system (cardiovascular, bone), and organismal (timing and life span) scales. Diseases impacted by metabolic imbalance or dysregulation that were covered in detail included diabetes, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and cancer. New and emerging technologies were presented for simultaneous monitoring of hundreds of metabolites that allow for sophisticated sampling of the metabolic state of cells. Because the Symposium covered such a broad field, by necessity much excellent work could not be included, and instead, the Proceedings should be viewed as a necessarily eclectic collection of some of the most interesting and stimulating work that came to the organizers' attention during the 18 months before the meeting"--Page XV.
