  ABSTRACT  
 
Genes are not simply turned on or off, but instead their expression is fine-tuned to meet the needs of a cell. How genes are modulated so precisely is not well understood. The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) regulates target genes by associating with specific DNA binding sites, the sequences of which differ between genes. Traditionally, these binding sites have been viewed only as docking sites. Using structural, biochemical, and cell-based assays, we show that GR binding sequences, differing by as little as a single base pair, differentially affect GR conformation and regulatory activity. We therefore propose that DNA is a sequence-specific allosteric ligand of GR that tailors the activity of the receptor toward specific target genes.

Fig. 2. DNA sequence-mediated structural differences in GR-DBD. (A) Domain structure of GR. [1], tau1. (B) Overlay of chains A and B from GR-DBD:Pal complex shows packed and flipped conformations. (C) Overlay of chain B from GR-DBD complexed with 4-bp spacer (15) (magenta) and 3-bp spacer GBS (green). (D) Composite omit maps of GR-DBD complexed with different GBSs (GilZ, FKBP5, Sgk, and Pal) under the same conditions. Lever arm peptide is shown with 2Fo-Fc (black mesh) and composite omit map (red mesh) overlaid. 		Figure 4.
Fig. 4. Receptor activity is modulated by lever arm residues. (A) H472 is critical for tuning activity. Effects of mutating lever arm residues were assayed using GBS reporters; activities are plotted as percentage of wild type ± SEM (n 3). (B) H472 resides in the DBD pocket formed by the carbonyl adjacent to V468, Y497, and L501. (C) Human DBD sequence alignments reveal variation at V468, Y497, and L501.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB codes are shown on the right.
