The RXRα ligand-dependent activation function 2 (AF-2) is important for mouse development

Abstract excerpt

We have engineered a mouse mutation that specifically deletes the C-terminal 18 amino acid sequence of the RXRalpha protein. This deletion corresponds to the last helical alpha structure (H12) of the ligand-binding domain (LBD), and includes the core of the Activating Domain of the Activation Function 2 (AF-2 AD core) that is thought to be crucial in mediating ligand-dependent transactivation by RXRalpha. The...
