Ligand binding domain of Estrogen receptor, which are activated by the hormone 17beta-estradiol (estrogen); The ligand binding domain (LBD) of Estrogen receptor (ER): Estrogen receptor, a member of nuclear receptor superfamily, is activated by the hormone estrogen. Estrogen regulates many physiological processes including reproduction, bone integrity, cardiovascular health, and behavior. The main mechanism of action of the estrogen receptor is as a transcription factor by binding to the estrogen response element of target genes upon activation by estrogen and then recruiting coactivator proteins which are responsible for the transcription of target genes. Additionally some ERs may associate with other membrane proteins and can be rapidly activated by exposure of cells to estrogen. Like other members of the nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors, ER has a central well conserved DNA binding domain (DBD), a variable N-terminal domain, a flexible hinge and a C-terminal ligand binding domain (LBD). The C-terminal LBD also contains AF-2 activation motif, the dimerization motif, and part of the nuclear localization region. Estrogen receptor has been linked to aging, cancer, obesity and other diseases. : Pssm-ID: 132747 Cd Length: 235 Bit Score: 402.96 E-value: 1.54e-142

The actual function of this region is not known, but the domain is absent from all the other types of nuclear receptors. Oestrogen receptors modulate AP-1-dependent transcription through two distinct mechanisms: via protein-protein interactions on DNA; and via non-genomic actions. The mechanism used depends on the cellular localization of the receptor. In addition to the more extensively studied cross-talk on DNA, additional non-genomic actions might be very important in target tissues in which membrane-associated ERs are found.

The ligand binding domain of the retinoid X receptor and Ultraspiracle, members of nuclear receptor superfamily; The ligand binding domain of the retinoid X receptor (RXR) and Ultraspiracle (USP): This family includes two evolutionary related nuclear receptors: retinoid X receptor (RXR) and Ultraspiracle (USP). RXR is a nuclear receptor in mammalian and USP is its counterpart in invertebrates. The native ligand of retinoid X receptor is 9-cis retinoic acid (RA). RXR functions as a DNA binding partner by forming heterodimers with other nuclear receptors including CAR, FXR, LXR, PPAR, PXR, RAR, TR, and VDR. RXRs can play different roles in these heterodimers. It acts either as a structural component of the heterodimer complex, required for DNA binding but not acting as a receptor or as both a structural and a functional component of the heterodimer, allowing 9-cis RA to signal through the corresponding heterodimer. In addition, RXR can also form homodimers, functioning as a receptor for 9-cis RA, independently of other nuclear receptors. Ultraspiracle (USP) plays similar roles as DNA binding partner of other nuclear rec eptors in invertebrates. USP has no known high-affinity ligand and is thought to be a silent component in the heterodimeric complex with partner receptors. Like other members of the nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors, RXR and USP have a central well conserved DNA binding domain (DBD), a variable N-terminal domain, a flexible hinge and a C-terminal ligand binding domain (LBD).

Ligand binding domain of the progesterone receptor, a member of the nuclear hormone receptor; The ligand binding domain of the progesterone receptor (PR): PR is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily of ligand dependent transcription factors, mediating the biological actions of progesterone. PR functions in a variety of biological processes including development of the mammary gland, regulating cell cycle progression, protein processing, and metabolism. When no binding hormone is present the carboxyl terminal inhibits transcription. Binding to a hormone induces a structural change that removes the inhibitory action. After progesterone binds to the receptor, PR forms a dimer and the complex enters the nucleus where it interacts with the hormone response element (HRE) in the promoters of progesterone responsive genes and alters their transcription. In addition, rapid actions of PR that occur independent of transcription, have also been observed in several tissues like brain, liver, mammary gland and spermatozoa. There are two natural PR isoforms called PR-A and PR-B. PR-B has an additional stretc h of 164 amino acids at the N terminus. The extra domain in PR-B performs activation functions by recruiting coactivators that could not be recruited by PR-A. Like other members of the nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors, PR has a central well conserved DNA binding domain (DBD), a variable N-terminal domain, a flexible hinge and a C-terminal ligand binding domain (LBD). The LBD is not only involved in binding to progesterone, but also involved in coactivator binding and dimerization. Pssm-ID: 132759 Cd Length: 248 Bit Score: 103.48 E-value: 1.10e-25

Ligand binding domain of nuclear hormone receptors:glucocorticoid receptor, mineralocorticoid receptor , progesterone receptor, and androgen receptor; The ligand binding domain of GR_like nuclear receptors: This family of NRs includes four distinct, but closely related nuclear hormone receptors: glucocorticoid receptor (GR), mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), progesterone receptor (PR), and androgen receptor (AR). These four receptors play key roles in some of the most fundamental physiological functions such as the stress response, metabolism, electrolyte homeostasis, immune function, growth, development, and reproduction. The NRs in this family use multiple signaling pathways and share similar functional mechanisms. The dominant signaling pathway is via direct DNA binding and transcriptional regulation of target genes. Another mechanism is via protein-protein interactions, mainly with other transcription factors such as nuclear factor-kappaB and activator protein-1, to regulate gene expression patterns. Both pathways can up-regulate or down-regulate gene expression and require ligand activation of the receptor and recruitment of other cofactors such as chaperone proteins and coregulator proteins. Like other members of the nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors, GR, MR, PR, and AR share the same modular structure with a central well conserved DNA binding domain (DBD), a variable N-terminal domain, a flexible hinge and a C-terminal ligand binding domain (LBD).

Ligand binding domain of the glucocorticoid receptor, a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily; The ligand binding domain of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR): GR is a ligand-activated transcription factor belonging to the nuclear receptor superfamily. It binds with high affinity to cortisol and other glucocorticoids. GR is expressed in almost every cell in the body and regulates genes controlling a wide variety of processes including the development, metabolism, and immune response of the organism. In the absence of hormone, the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is complexes with a variety of heat shock proteins in the cytosol. The binding of the glucocorticoids results in release of the heat shock proteins and transforms it to its active state. One mechanism of action of GR is by direct activation of gene transcription. The activated form of GR forms dimers, translocates into the nucleus, and binds to specific hormone responsive elements, activating gene transcription. GR can also function as a repressor of other gene transcription activators, such as NF-kappaB and AF-1 by directly binding to them, and bloc king the expression of their activated genes. Like other members of the nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors, GR has a central well conserved DNA binding domain (DBD), a variable N-terminal domain, a flexible hinge and a C-terminal ligand binding domain (LBD). The LBD also functions for dimerization and chaperone protein association. Pssm-ID: 132761 Cd Length: 247 Bit Score: 99.62 E-value: 2.48e-24

Oestrogen receptors modulate AP-1-dependent transcription through two distinct mechanisms: via protein-protein interactions on DNA; and via non-genomic actions. The mechanism used depends on the cellular localization of the receptor. In addition to the more extensively studied cross-talk on DNA, additional non-genomic actions might be very important in target tissues in which membrane-associated ERs are found.

Nurr1 is a transcription factor that is expressed in the embryonic ventral midbrain and is critical for the development of dopamine (DA) neurons. Structural studies have shown that the ligand binding pocket of Nurr1 is filled by bulky hydrophobic residues, making it unable to bind to ligands. Therefore, it belongs to the class of orphan receptors. However, Nurr1 forms heterodimers with RXR and can promote signaling via its partner, RXR. NGFI-B is an early immediate gene product of embryo development that is rapidly produced in response to a variety of cellular signals including nerve growth factor. It is involved in T-cell-mediated apoptosis, as well as neuronal differentiation and function. NGFI-B regulates transcription by binding to a specific DNA target upstream of its target genes and regulating the rate of tr anscriptional initiation. Another group of receptor in this family is DHR38. DHR38 is the Drosophila homolog to the vertebrate NGFI-B-type orphan receptor. It interacts with the USP component of the ecdysone receptor complex, suggesting that DHR38 might modulate ecdysone-triggered signals in the fly, in addition to the ECR/USP pathway. Nurr1_like proteins exhibit a modular structure that is characteristic for nuclear receptors; they have a central well conserved DNA binding domain (DBD), a variable N-terminal domain, a non-conserved hinge and a C-terminal ligand binding domain (LBD).

The receptor is activated by mineralocorticoids such as aldosterone and deoxycorticosterone as well as glucocorticoids, like cortisol and cortisone. Binding of its ligand results in its translocation to the cell nucleus, homodimerization and binding to hormone response elements (HREs) present in the promoter of MR controlled genes. This results in the recruitment of the coactivators and the transcription of the activated genes. MR is expressed in many tissues and its activation results in the expression of proteins regulating electrolyte and fluid balance.

Ligand binding domain of the nuclear receptor androgen receptor, ligand activated transcription regulator; The ligand binding domain of the androgen receptor (AR): AR is a member of the nuclear receptor family. It is activated by binding either of the androgenic hormones, testosterone or dihydrotestosterone, which are responsible for male primary sexual characteristics and for secondary male characteristics, respectively. The primary mechanism of action of ARs is by direct regulation of gene transcription. The binding of an androgen results in a conformational change in the androgen receptor which causes its transport from the cytosol into the cell nucleus, and dimerization. The receptor dimer binds to a hormone response element of AR-regulated genes and modulates their expression. Another mode of action is independent of their interactions with DNA. The receptors interact directly with signal transduction proteins in the cytoplasm, causing rapid changes in cell function, such as ion transport. Like other members of the nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors, AR has a central well conserved DNA binding domain (DBD), a variable N-terminal domain, a flexible hinge and a C-terminal ligand binding domain (LBD).

Therefore, it belongs to the class of orphan receptors. However, Nurr1 forms heterodimers with RXR and can promote signaling via its partner, RXR. Like other members of the nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors, Nurr1 has a central well conserved DNA binding domain (DBD), a variable N-terminal domain, a flexible hinge and a C-terminal ligand binding domain (LBD).

HNF4 plays a key role in establishing and maintenance of hepatocyte differentiation in the liver. It is also expressed in gut, kidney, and pancreatic beta cells. HNF4 was originally classified as an orphan receptor, but later it is found that HNF4 binds with very high affinity to a variety of fatty acids. However, unlike other nuclear receptors, the ligands do not act as a molecular switch for HNF4. They seem to constantly bind to the receptor, which is constitutively active as a transcription activator. Like other members of the nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors, HNF4 has a central well conserved DNA binding domain (DBD), a variable N-terminal domain, a flexible hinge and a C-terminal ligand binding domain (LBD). The LBD domain is also responsible for recruiting co-activator proteins. More than 280 nuclear receptors are found in C. ele gans, most of which are originated from an explosive burst of duplications of HNF4.

RARs mediate the biological effect of retinoids, including both naturally dietary vitamin A (retinol) metabolites and active synthetic analogs. Retinoids play key roles in a wide variety of essential biological processes, such as vertebrate embryonic morphogenesis and organogenesis, differentiation and apoptosis, and homeostasis. RARs function as heterodimers with retinoic X receptors by binding to specific RAR response elements (RAREs) found in the promoter regions of retinoid target genes. In the absence of ligand, the RAR-RXR heterodimer recruits the corepressor proteins NCoR or AMRT, and associated factors such as histone deacetylases or DNA-methyltransferases, leading to an inactive condensed chromatin structure, preventing transcription. Upon ligand binding, the corepressors are released, and coactivator complexes such as histone acetyltransferase or histone arginine methyltransferases are recruited to activate transcription. There are three RAR subtypes (alpha, beta, gamma), originating from three distinct genes. For each subtype, several isoforms exist that differ in their N-terminal region, allowing retinoids to exert their pleiotropic effects. Like other members of the nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors, retinoic acid receptors have a central well conserved DNA binding domain (DBD), a variable N-terminal domain, a non-conserved hinge and a C-terminal ligand binding domain (LBD).

VDR controls a wide range of biological activities including calcium metabolism, cell proliferation and differentiation, and immunomodulation. VDR is a high affinity receptor for the biologically most active Vitamin D metabolite, 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1alpha,25(OH)2D3). The binding of the ligand to the receptor induces a conformational change of the ligand binding domain (LBD) with consequent dissociation of corepressors. Upon ligand binding, VDR forms heterodimer with the retinoid X receptor (RXR) that binds to vitamin D response elements (VDREs), recruits coactivators. This leads to the expression of a large number of genes. Approximately 200 human genes are considered to be primary targets of VDR and even more genes are regulated indirectly.

The ligand binding domain of Liver X receptors, a family of nuclear receptors of ligand-activated transcription factors; The ligand binding domain of Liver X receptors: Liver X receptors (LXRs) belong to a family of nuclear receptors of ligand-activated transcription factors. LXRs operate as cholesterol sensors which protect from cholesterol overload by stimulating reverse cholesterol transport from peripheral tissues to the liver and its excretion in the bile. Oxidized cholesterol derivatives or oxysterols were identified as specific ligands for LXRs. Upon ligand binding a conformational change leads to recruitment of co-factors, which stimulates expression of target genes. Among the LXR target genes are several genes involved in cholesterol efflux from peripheral tissues such as the ATP-binding-cassette transporters ABCA1, ABCG1 and ApoE. There are two LXR isoforms in mammals, LXRalpha and LXRbeta. LXRalpha is expressed mainly in the liver, intestine, kidney, spleen, and adipose tissue, whereas LXRbeta is ubiquitously expressed at lower level. Both LXRalpha and LXRbeta function as heterodimers with the retinoid X receptor (RX R) which may be activated by either LXR ligands or 9-cis retinoic acid, a specific RXR ligand. The LXR/RXR complex binds to a liver X receptor response element (LXRE) in the promoter region of target genes. LXR has typical NR modular structure with a central well conserved DNA binding domain (DBD), a variable N-terminal domain, a flexible hinge and the ligand binding domain (LBD) at the C-terminal.

Ecdysone receptor is present only in invertebrates and regulates the expression of a large number of genes during development and reproduction. ECR functions as a heterodimer by partnering with ultraspiracle protein (USP), the ortholog of the vertebrate retinoid X receptor (RXR). The natural ligands of ecdysone receptor are ecdysteroids#the endogenous steroidal hormones found in invertebrates. In addition, insecticide bisacylhydrazine used against pests has shown to act on EcR. EcR must be dimerised with a USP for high-affinity ligand binding to occur.
