چکیده

Purified glucocorticoid receptor (GR) from rat liver was used for a quantitative analysis of the protein-DNA interaction at specific GR-binding segments within the 5'-long terminal repeat of the mouse mammary tumor virus. A truncated receptor was generated and used to demonstrate formation of heterodimeric GR, which furthermore was shown to be in rapid equilibrium with receptor-monomer. The relative affinity for GR binding to specific GR sites versus random calf thymus DNA was approximately 2 x 10(3). At equilibrium a free GR concentration of 3 x 10(-10) M was required for half-maximal saturation of the two functionally important DNA sites within the mouse mammary tumor virus 5'-long terminal repeat. Although these two DNA segments act synergistically in mediating hormonal response, we did not detect cooperative GR binding to these regions in vitro. However, GR bound cooperatively within the downstream binding region. Similarly, GR was unable to facilitate factor binding to a neighboring nuclear factor 1 site, another essential element in the promoter. In contrast, nuclear factor 1 binding was inhibited slightly by GR.

Mineralocorticoid regulation of transcription of transfected mouse mammary tumor virus DNA in cultured kidney cells

Renal cells contain two corticosteroid-binding entities defined on the basis of hormone-binding selectivity as type I (mineralocorticoid) and type II (glucocorticoid). The mineralocorticoid, aldosterone can bind to both type I and type II receptors. This poses problems in defining the characteristics of a true mineralocorticoid regulated expression of specific genes. We have used chimaeric cons...

Inhibition of chromatin assembly in Xenopus oocytes correlates with derepression of the mouse mammary tumor virus promoter.

The mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) promoter is positively regulated by glucocorticoid hormone via binding of glucocorticoid receptor to a specific response element. Upon addition of hormone, a nucleosome containing the glucocorticoid response element is removed or structurally altered, suggesting that the nucleosome interferes with transcription. Accordingly, inhibition of chromatin assembly ...

Differential hormone-dependent transcriptional activation and -repression by naturally occurring human glucocorticoid receptor variants.

The molecular mechanisms underlying primary glucocorticoid resistance or hypersensitivity are not well understood. Using transfected COS-1 cells as a model system, we studied gene regulation by naturally occurring mutants of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) with single-point mutations in the regions encoding the ligand-binding domain or the N-terminal domain reflecting different phenotypic expr...

Glucocorticoid receptor DNA-binding specificity is increased by the organization of DNA in nucleosomes.

A DNA fragment containing glucocorticoid receptor binding sites in the mouse mammary tumor virus promoter was reconstituted in vitro with histones to form nucleosome cores, which become positioned on the DNA fragment in a sequence-specific manner. Glucocorticoid receptor binding to specific DNA sequences was analyzed by quantitative DNase I footprinting. The receptor interacted with surprisingl...

Hormone-induced nucleosome positioning in the MMTV promoter is reversible.

The mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) promoter is induced by glucocorticoid hormone via the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). The hormone-triggered effects on MMTV transcription and chromatin structure were studied in Xenopus oocytes. We previously showed that the nucleosomes organizing the MMTV promoter became translationally positioned upon hormone induction. A single GR-binding site was necessary...
