A transcriptionally silent RXRalpha supports early embryonic morphogenesis and heart development.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 17 Mar 2009

Abstract excerpt

Retinoic acid (RA) receptors (RARs) alpha, beta, and gamma heterodimerized with rexinoid receptors (RXRs) alpha, beta, and gamma mediate the RA signal. To analyze the contribution of the transcriptional activity of RXRalpha, the main RXR during embryogenesis, we have engineered a mouse line harboring a transcriptionally silent RXRalpha mutant that lacks the activation functions AF1 and AF2. All homozygous mutants...
