Abstract excerpt
Two previously isolated mutations in the glucocorticoid receptor DNA-binding domain (DBD), S459A and P493R, have been postulated to mimic DNA-induced conformational changes in the glucocorticoid receptor DBD, thereby constitutively triggering an allosteric mechanism in which binding of specific DNA normally induces the exposure of otherwise silent glucocorticoid receptor transcriptional activation surfaces. Here...
