A conserved carboxy-terminal subdomain is important for ligand interpretation and transactivation by nuclear receptors.

Abstract excerpt

Nuclear receptors share a highly conserved region located at the very carboxy-terminal part of the ligand-binding domain. Site-directed mutagenesis of conserved hydrophobic residues in this region was reported to create mouse and human glucocorticoid receptors (GRs) and estrogen receptors that cannot transactivate but apparently maintain all the other functions. We constructed analogous mutations in the rat GR to...
