Abstract excerpt
Some orphan nuclear receptors, including estrogen-related receptor alpha-1 (ERRalpha-1), can activate gene transcription in a constitutive manner. Little is known about the molecular basis of the constitutive activity of these receptors. Our results from site-directed mutagenesis experiments have revealed that Phe-329 (analogous to Ala-350 in estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha)) is responsible for the constitutive...
