Abstract excerpt
Mutations in thyroid hormone receptor α (TRα), a ligand-inducible transcription factor, cause resistance to thyroid hormone α (RTHα). This disorder is characterized by tissue-specific hormone refractoriness and hypothyroidism due to the inhibition of target gene expression by mutant TRα-corepressor complexes. Using biophysical approaches, we show that RTHα-associated TRα mutants devoid of ligand-dependent...
