Figure 5 The three divergent LBP residues determine the RAR selectivity of BMS641 and the isotype-dependent potential of BMS453. (A) Partial proteolysis maps of in vitro-translated RARs in the presence or absence of increasing concentrations of either TTNPB, BMS453 or BMS641, as indicated. (B) Dose -response curves to assess the binding affinity of BMS641 relative to TTNPB in RAR pocket mutants. HeLa cells were co-transfected with (RARE)3x-tk-luc and either RAR (closed triangles), RAR (open circles), RAR arrow (RAR (M[272]I, A[397]V); open squares) or RAR arrow (RAR (I[263]M, V[388]A); closed diamonds) and reporter gene transcription was induced with 3 nM TTNPB (100%). (C) BMS453-induced luciferase activity in HeLa cells co-transfected with (RARE)3x-tk-luc and the indicated receptors.
