چکیده

The steroid-binding domain of the human glucocorticoid receptor has a dominant, negative influence over the activity of the remainder of the molecule. We have determined sequences within this domain that are responsible for this inhibition by creating truncations and internal deletions which remove part or all of the ligand-binding domain. Two apparently unrelated sequences within this region are shown to block the ability to stimulate transcription when fused to the carboxyl terminus of a functional, hormone-independent receptor derivative. These results support the possibility of two distinct protein-binding sites within the steroid-binding domain.

COVID-19: a hypothesis to prevent SARS-CoV-2 from entering respiratory cells

Coronaviruses (CoVs) are a group of viruses that induce infection in the respiratory and other systems in the human body. There are two coronaviruses that transmitted from animals to humans including severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) (1). The novel coronavirus that appeared at first in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 was named as severe acut...

GRIP1, a transcriptional coactivator for the AF-2 transactivation domain of steroid, thyroid, retinoid, and vitamin D receptors.

After binding to enhancer elements, transcription factors require transcriptional coactivator proteins to mediate their stimulation of transcription initiation. A search for possible coactivators for steroid hormone receptors resulted in identification of glucocorticoid receptor interacting protein 1 (GRIP1). The complete coding sequence for GRIP1, isolated from a mouse brain cDNA library, cont...

Multiple domains of the glucocorticoid receptor involved in synergism with the CACCC box factor(s).

Steroid induction of responsive genes functions through the synergistic activity of steroid receptor-binding sequences with adjacent transcription factor-binding sites. To analyze the mechanism of synergy we tested different human glucocorticoid receptor mutants for synergistic function with another transcription factor in comparison with intrinsic trans-activation obtained with a single recept...

A role for the Hsp40 Ydj1 in repression of basal steroid receptor activity in yeast.

In addition to its roles in translocation of preproteins across membranes, Ydj1 facilitates the maturation of Hsp90 substrates, including mammalian steroid receptors, which activate transcription in yeast in a hormone-dependent manner. To better understand Ydj1's function, we have constructed and analyzed an array of Ydj1 mutants in vivo. Both the glucocorticoid receptor and the estrogen recept...

Immunogenic and Protective Potentials of Recombinant Receptor Binding Domain and a C-Terminal Fragment of Clostridium botulinum Neurotoxin Type E

Clostridium Botulinum Type E neurotoxin heavy chain consists of two domains: the translocation domain asthe N-terminal half and the binding domain as the Cterminal half (Hc). One effective way to neutralize botulinum neurotoxin is to inhibit binding of this toxin to neuromuscular synapses with antibodies against binding domain. Two synthetic genes, coding for Hc (the full length binding d...
