Dominant Negative Activity of Mutant Thyroid Hormone α1 Receptors from Patients with Hepatocellular Carcinoma*
1 Dec 1997
Abstract excerpt
Complementary DNAs for two mutant thyroid hormone alpha1 receptors (TR alpha1) were isolated from hepatocellular carcinomas of two patients. Sequence analyses of the complementary DNAs showed a single Val390Ala and double Pro398Ser/Glu350Lys mutations in mutants H and L, respectively. We characterized their hormone-binding, DNA-binding, and dominant negative activities. Mutants H and L did not bind the hormone...
