چکیده

We have investigated the thermodynamic properties of triiodothyronine (T3)-solubilized hepatic nuclear receptor interaction. These studies revealed that the equilibrium constant was markedly dependent on temperature and van't Hoff plots revealed a significant deviation from linearity. Both enthalpy and entropy changes decreased with increasing temperature such that at 37 degrees C both were negative. (delta H0 -27.1 kcal/mol; delta S0, -45.1 cal/mol.deg; and the heat capacity delta Cp0 (25 degrees C), -759 cal/mol.deg). Several T3 analogues revealed similar thermodynamic characteristics. Our finding that the T3-receptor interaction is characterized by a negative heat capacity is compatible with the previous proposal of hydrophobic bonding by Jorgensen. The large negative entropy change at 37 degrees C for T3-receptor reaction is in contrast to the more positive entropy values for several T3-plasma protein reactions. One possible explanation of this difference in entropy values between the nuclear receptor and plasma proteins is that T3 induces a conformational change in the receptor, a concept supported by previous data from our laboratory indicating that the occupation of the T3 receptor results in an alteration in the chromatographic migration of the receptor.

Thyroid Hormone Receptors BINDIXG CHARACTERISTICS AND LACK OF HORRlOn-AL DEPEXDENCY FOR NUCLEAR

Thyroid hormones have diverse effects on growth and metabolism. Specific “receptor” proteins which bind triiodothyronine and other biologically active analogs and which may be involved in thyroid hormone action have been recently found in nuclei of responsive tissues. This report presents studies of these receptors in rat liver nuclei. Confirming previous reports, a Scatchard analysis of the bi...

Putative L-triiodothyronine receptors in the liver nuclei of mature tropical toad, Bufo melanostictus.

Thyroid hormones exert a major role in growth and differentiation of almost all types of tissues in animals, particularly in amphibian metamorphosis, through its specific nuclear receptor activation followed by gene expression. However, its function in mature tropical amphibians is less studied. The present study revealed the existence of a single class of specific nuclear receptor(s) in the li...
