Abstract excerpt
Transcription of the glycoprotein hormone alpha-subunit gene in placental cells is repressed by glucocorticoids, an effect that is mediated through the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). Although the DNA-binding domain of GR has been shown to be important, mutation of the previously identified GR-binding sites in the alpha-subunit promoter fails to abolish repression. Furthermore, mutant receptors in which the...
