Abstract
Abstract
Nuclear receptors (NRs) require coactivators to efficiently activate transcription of their target genes. Many coactivators including the p160 proteins utilize a short NR box motif to recognize the ligand-binding domain of the NR when it is activated by ligand. To investigate the ability of various ligands to specify the affinity of NR boxes for a ligand-bound NR, we compared the capacity of p160 NR boxes to be recruited to estrogen receptor (ERα) and ERβ in the presence of 17β-estradiol, diethylstilbestrol, and genestein. A time-resolved fluorescence-based binding assay was used to determine the dissociation constants for the 10 NR boxes derived from the three p160 coactivators for both ER subtypes in the presence of the each of the agonists. While the affinity of some NR boxes for ER was independent of the agonist, we identified several NR boxes that had significantly different affinities for ER depending on which agonist was bound to the receptor. Therefore, an agonist may specify the affinity of an NR for various NR boxes and thus regulate the coactivator selectivity of the receptor.
