Abstract excerpt
Mutations in thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) often lead to metabolic and developmental disorders, but patients with these mutations are difficult to treat with existing thyromimetic drugs. In this study, we analyzed six clinically observed mutations in the ligand-binding domain of the human TRβ using an engineered bacterial hormone biosensor. Six agonist compounds, including triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4),...
