Abstract

Allosteric communication between interacting molecules is fundamental to signal transduction and many other cellular processes. To better understand the relationship between nuclear receptor (NR) ligand positioning and the formation of the coactivator binding pocket, we investigated the determinants of ligand selectivity between the two estrogen receptor subtypes ERalpha and ERbeta. Chimeric receptors and structurally guided amino acid substitutions were used to demonstrate that distinct "hot spot" amino acids are required for ligand selectivity. Residues within the ligand binding pocket as well as distal secondary structural interactions contribute to subtype-specific positioning of the ligand and transcriptional output. Examination of other NRs suggests a mechanism of communication between the ligand and coactivator binding pockets, accounting for partial agonist and dimer-specific activity. These results demonstrate the importance of long-range interactions in the transmission of information through the ligand binding domain as well as in determining the ligand selectivity of closely related NR receptor subtypes.

  • Comparing classes of structures allowed identification of common features across many structures and space groups and statistical characterization of subtle features within single-structure noise.

    “Comparison of classes of structures enabled identification of common features across many structures and space groups, and allowed statistical analysis and characterization of subtle features within the noise of a single structure, as we previously used for dissecting estrogen receptor signaling (Bruning et al., 2010; Nettles et al., 2004, 2008).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
