چکیده

SMRT (silencing mediator of retinoid acid and thyroid hormone receptor) and NCoR (nuclear receptor corepressor) are transcriptional corepressors that play an essential role in the regulation of development and metabolism. This role is achieved, in part, through the recruitment of a key histone deacetylase (HDAC3), which is itself indispensable for cell viability. The assembly of HDAC3 with the deacetylase activation domain (DAD) of SMRT and NCoR is required for activation of the otherwise inert deacetylase. The DAD comprises an N-terminal DAD-specific motif and a C-terminal SANT (SWI3/ADA2/NCoR/TFIIIB)-like domain. We report here the solution structure of the DAD from SMRT, which reveals a four-helical structure. The DAD differs from the SANT (and MYB) domains in that (i) it has an additional N-terminal helix and (ii) there is a notable hydrophobic groove on the surface of the domain. Structure-guided mutagenesis, combined with interaction assays, showed that residues in the vicinity of the hydrophobic groove are required for interaction with (and hence activation of) HDAC3. Importantly, one surface-exposed lysine is required for activation of HDAC3, but not for interaction. This lysine may play a uniquely important role in the mechanism of activating HDAC3.

Molecular and Structural Insights into Nuclear Hormone Receptor Repression Mediated by the Corepressor Ncor

Nuclear hormone receptors comprise a large family of ligand-sensitive transcription factors that can directly bind and regulate target genes to affect various physiological processes including development, differentiation, circadian rhythm and metabolism. Classically, activation of transcription by nuclear receptors (NRs) is due to a ligandinduced switch from corepressorto coactivator-bound sta...

The Prostate 9999:1^14 (2004) AndrogenReceptorCorepressors: AnOverview

Androgens play pivotal roles in sex differentiation and development, in reproductive functions, and sexual behavior. The actions of androgens are mediated through the intracellular androgen receptor (AR), a member of the nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily, which regulates a wide range of target gene expression. Recent studies indicate that the proper transcriptional activity of AR is modulated b...

Nuclear receptor corepressors and PPARγ

The nuclear receptor corepressors NCoR and SMRT repress gene transcription by recruiting a histone deacetylase complex. Their roles in PPARgamma action have been controversial. Recent evidence, however, suggests that NCoR and SMRT repress PPARgamma-mediated transcriptional activity on specific promoters in the adipocyte. In addition, by repressing PPARgamma action, these corepressors inhibit th...

ERβ Binds N-CoR in the Presence of Estrogens via an LXXLL-like Motif in the N-CoR C-terminus

Nuclear receptors (NRs) usually bind the corepressors N-CoR and SMRT in the absence of ligand or in the presence of antagonists. Agonist binding leads to corepressor release and recruitment of coactivators. Here, we report that estrogen receptor beta (ERbeta) binds N-CoR and SMRT in the presence of agonists, but not antagonists, in vitro and in vivo. This ligand preference differs from that of ...

Nuclear hormone receptors and gene expression.

The nuclear hormone receptor superfamily includes receptors for thyroid and steroid hormones, retinoids and vitamin D, as well as different "orphan" receptors of unknown ligand. Ligands for some of these receptors have been recently identified, showing that products of lipid metabolism such as fatty acids, prostaglandins, or cholesterol derivatives can regulate gene expression by binding to nuc...
