The nuclear corepressor (NCoR) binds to the thyroid hormone receptor (TR) in the absence of ligand. NCoR-TR interactions are mediated by two interaction domains in the C-terminal portion of NCoR. Binding of NCoR to TR results in ligand-independent repression on positive thyroid hormone response elements. The interactions between NCoR interaction domains and TR on DNA response elements, however, have not been well characterized. We have found that both interaction domains are capable of binding TR on thyroid hormone response elements. In addition, the NCoR interaction domains interact much more strongly with the TR than those present in the silencing mediator of retinoic acid and TRs (SMRT). Furthermore, deletion of either NCoR interaction domain does not significantly impair ligand-independent effects on positive or negative thyroid hormone response elements. Finally, both NCoR interaction domains appear to preferentially bind TR homodimer over TR-retinoid X receptor heterodimer in electrophoretic mobility shift assays. These data suggest that either NCoR interaction domain is capable of mediating the ligand-independent effects of TR on positive and negative thyroid hormone response elements. 相似文献

The expression of the beta-amyloid precursor protein (APP), which plays a key role in the development of Alzheimer's disease, is regulated by a variety of cellular mediators in a cell-dependent manner. In the present study, we present evidence that thyroid hormones negatively regulate the expression of the APP gene in neuroblastoma cells. Transient transfection studies using plasmids that contain progressive deletions of the 5' region of the gene demonstrate that triiodothyronine (T3), the more active form of the thyroid hormones, represses APP promoter activity by a mechanism that requires binding of the nuclear T3 receptor (TR) to a specific sequence located in the first exon. The unliganded receptor increases promoter activity, and T3 reverses that activity to basal levels. The repressive effect of T3 does not exhibit TR isoform specificity, and it is equally mediated by TRalpha and TRbeta. Gel mobility shift assays using in vitro synthesized nuclear receptors and nuclear extracts led to the identification of a negative thyroid hormone response element, at nucleotide position +80/+96, that preferentially binds heterodimers of TR with the retinoid X receptor. Insertion of sequences containing this element confers negative regulation by T3 to a heterologous TK promoter, thus indicating the functionality of the element. 相似文献
