Mutations in the glucocorticoid receptor zinc finger region that distinguish interdigitated DNA binding and transcriptional enhancement activities.

Abstract

Mammalian glucocorticoid receptors bind specifically to glucocorticoid response element (GRE) DNA sequences and enhance transcription from GRE-linked promoters in mammalian cells and in yeast. We randomly mutagenized a segment of the receptor encompassing sequences responsible for DNA-binding and transcriptional regulation and screened in yeast for receptor defects. The mutations all mapped to a 66-amino-acid subregion that includes two zinc fingers; in general parallel phenotypes were observed in yeast and animal cells. Mutants defective for DNA binding also failed either to enhance or to repress transcription. However, several mutations in the second finger selectively impaired enhancement; we suggest that such 'positive control' mutants may alter protein-protein contacts required for transcriptional activation.

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.
