タイトル Distinct interaction of cortivazol with the ligand binding domain confers glucocorticoid receptor specificity: cortivazol is a specific ligand for the glucocorticoid receptor.
ジャーナル J Biol Chem
Abstract Ligand-receptor coupling is one of the important constituents of signal transduction and is essential for physiological transmission of actions of endogenous substances including steroid hormones. However, molecular mechanisms of the redundancy between glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid actions remain unknown because of complicated cross-talk among, for example, these adrenal steroids, their cognate receptors, and target genes. Receptor-specific ligand that can distinctly modulate target gene expression should be developed to overcome this issue. In this report, we showed that a pyrazolosteroid cortivazol (CVZ) does not induce either nuclear translocation or transactivation function of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) but does both for the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). Moreover, deletion analysis of the C-terminal end of the GR has revealed that CVZ interacts with the distinct portion of the ligand binding domain (LBD) and differentially modulates the ligand-dependent interaction between transcription intermediary factor 2 and the LBD when compared with cortisol, dexamethasone, and aldosterone. Thus, it is indicated that CVZ may not be only a molecular probe for the analysis of the redundancy between the GR and MR in vivo but also a useful reagent to clarify structure-function relationship of the GR LBD.
