Oxysterols and nuclear receptors

Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2019
Oxysterols are derivatives of cholesterol and an important regulator of cholesterol metabolism, in part due to their role as ligands for nuclear receptors, such as the liver X receptors. Oxysterols are also known to be ligands for the RAR-related orphan receptors, involved in normal T cell differentiation.

Nuclear receptor coactivators

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1997
Retinoic acid, steroid and thyroid hormones regulate complex programs of gene expression by binding to intracellular receptors that are members of the nuclear receptor superfamily of ligand-dependent transcription factors. Recent studies have led to the identification and cloning of genes encoding coactivator molecules that appear to play important ...

Ubiquitination of nuclear receptors

Clinical Science, 2017
Nuclear receptors (NRs) are cellular proteins, which upon ligand activation, act to exert regulatory control over transcription and subsequent expression. Organized via systemic classification into seven subfamilies, NRs partake in modulating a vast expanse of physiological functions essential for maintenance of life.

Insect Nuclear Receptors

Annual Review of Entomology, 2012
The nuclear receptors (NRs) of metazoans are an ancient family of transcription factors defined by conserved DNA- and ligand-binding domains (DBDs and LBDs, respectively). The Drosophila melanogaster genome project revealed 18 canonical NRs (with DBDs and LBDs both present) and 3 receptors with the DBD only.

Nuclear Receptors in Energy Metabolism

2022
Nuclear receptors are master regulators of energy metabolism through the conversion of extracellular signals into gene expression signatures. The function of the respective nuclear receptor is tissue specific, signal and co-factor dependent. While normal nuclear receptor function is central to metabolic physiology, aberrant nuclear receptor signaling ...

Dimerization of Nuclear Receptors

2013
Multicellular organisms require specific intercellular communication to properly organize the complex body plan during embryogenesis and maintain its properties and functions during the entire life. While growth factors, neurotransmitters, and peptide hormones bind to membrane receptors, thereby inducing the activity of intracellular kinase cascades or

Nuclear Melatonin Receptors

Biochemistry (Moscow), 2001
Current opinions on the potential role of orphan nuclear retinoid receptors of the ROR/RZR subfamily in regulatory activities of the pineal gland hormone melatonin are reviewed. The mechanisms of receptor--DNA interactions and known coactivators, tissue peculiarities of the expression of different receptor isoforms, and its regulation are described ...

Nuclear receptors and disease: androgen receptor

Essays in Biochemistry, 2004
The androgen receptor (AR) protein regulates transcription of certain genes. Usually this depends upon a central DNA-binding domain that permits the binding of androgen–AR complexes to regulatory DNA sequences near or in a target gene. The AR also has a C-terminal ligand-binding domain and an Nterminal transcription modulatory domain.
