Acetylation of nuclear hormone receptor superfamily members: thyroid hormone causes acetylation of its own receptor by a mitogen-activated protein kinase-dependent mechanism.

Abstract excerpt

Because the androgen and estrogen nuclear hormone receptors are subject to acetylation, we speculated that the nuclear thyroid hormone receptor-beta1 (TRbeta1), another superfamily member, was also subject to this posttranslational modification. Treatment of 293T cells that contain TRbeta1(wt) with l-thyroxine (T4)(10(-7)M, total concentration) resulted in the accumulation of acetylated TR in nuclear fractions at...
