Neofunctionalization in vertebrates: the example of retinoic acid receptors. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2006
Understanding the role of gene duplications in establishing vertebrate innovations is one of the main challenges of Evo-Devo (evolution of development) studies.

Retinoic acid receptors and retinoid X receptors: interactions with endogenous retinoic acids. [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1993
The binding of endogenous retinoids and stereoisomers of retinoic acid (RA) to the retinoid nuclear receptors, RA receptor (RARs) and retinoid X receptors (RXRs), was characterized using nucleosol preparations from transiently transfected COS-1 cells ...

Developmental expression of retinoic acid receptors (RARs) [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear Receptor Signaling, 2009
Here, I review the developmental expression features of genes encoding the retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and the ‘retinoid X’ or rexinoid receptors (RXRs). The first detailed expression studies were performed in the mouse over two decades ago, following

The roles of retinoic acid and retinoic acid receptors in inducing epigenetic changes. [PDF]

open access: yesSubcell Biochem, 2014
Epigenetics is "the branch of biology which studies the causal interactions between genes and their products which bring the phenotype into being" as defined by Conrad Waddington in 1942 in a discussion of the mechanisms of cell differentiation.

TRAF inhibition drives cancer cell apoptosis and improves retinoic acid sensitivity in multiple cancers models

open access: yesDiscover Oncology, 2023
TNF receptor-associated factors (TRAFs) are signaling adaptor proteins that play a crucial role in regulating cellular receptors’ signaling transduction to downstream pathways and exert multifaceted roles in regulating signaling pathways, cell survival ...

Function annotation of hepatic retinoid x receptor α based on genome-wide DNA binding and transcriptome profiling. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
BackgroundRetinoid x receptor α (RXRα) is abundantly expressed in the liver and is essential for the function of other nuclear receptors. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing and mRNA profiling data generated from wild type and RXRα-null mouse ...

The negative side of retinoic acid receptors. [PDF]

open access: yesNeurotoxicol Teratol, 2011
This is a review of research that supports a hypothesis regarding early restriction of gene expression in the vertebrate embryo. We hypothesize that vertebrate retinoic acid receptors (RARs for several vertebrates but rars for zebrafish) are part of an embryonic, epigenetic switch whose default position, at the time of fertilization is "OFF".

Nuclear Receptors as Autophagy-Based Antimicrobial Therapeutics

open access: yesCells, 2020
Autophagy is an intracellular process that targets intracellular pathogens for lysosomal degradation. Autophagy is tightly controlled at transcriptional and post-translational levels.
