Since the advent of microarrays, vast amounts of gene expression data have been generated. However, these microarray data fail to reveal the transcription regulatory mechanisms that underlie differential gene expression, because the identity of the respons ...
Multiprotein bridging factor (MBF-1) is a cofactor that was first described for its capacity to modulate the activity of fushi tarazu factor 1, a nuclear receptor originally implicated in Drosophila development. Recently, it has been shown that human MBF-1 ...
Brain development and function are dependent on thyroid hormone (T3), which acts through nuclear hormone receptors. T3 receptors (TRs) are transcription factors that activate or suppress target gene expression in a hormone-dependent or -independent fashion ...
The metabolic nuclear receptors act as metabolic and toxicological sensors, enabling the organism to quickly adapt to environmental changes by inducing the appropriate metabolic genes and pathways. Ligands for these metabolic receptors are compounds from d ...
Sterols and cholesterol in particular are lipids that have been studied exhaustively in view of their vital role in diverse cellular functions. Recently, it has been recognized that cholesterol is not only an essential component for the formation of membra ...
Liver X receptors (LXRs) are nuclear receptors that act as metabolic sensors for cellular cholesterol (Xol) and oxysterol content. Increased oxysterol levels activate LXRs, which then induce: the removal of cholesterol out of peripheral cells; transport of ...
We show that mice expressing retinoid X receptor beta (RXRbeta) impaired in its transcriptional activation function AF-2 (Rxrb(af20) mutation) do not display the spermatid release defects observed in RXRbeta-null mutants, indicating that the role of RXRbet ...
Transcriptional activity relies on coregulators that modify chromatin structure or serve as bridging factors between transcription factors and the basal transcription machinery. We identified a new coregulator of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ...
PPAR-gamma/RXR heterodimers play a key regulatory role in murine placental development. We report here that PPAR-gamma and RXR-alpha are highly expressed in cultured primary extravillous cytotrophoblasts (EVCT) isolated from human first-trimester placenta. ...
The catabolism of cholesterol into bile acids is regulated by oxysterols and bile acids, which induce or repress transcription of the pathway's rate-limiting enzyme cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1). The nuclear receptor LXRalpha binds oxysterols and ...
