Distinct dimerization domains provide antagonist pathways for thyroid hormone receptor action.

Abstract excerpt

Transcriptional regulation by thyroid hormone is mediated through its nuclear receptors, which bind to target response elements as homodimers or as heterodimers with proteins such as retinoid X receptors (RXR). Thyroid hormone response elements exhibit remarkable flexibility in that the receptor binding half-sites can be arranged as direct repeats, inverted repeats, or everted repeats. We report that a limited...
