VDR complex with BXL-62
Structural highlights
FunctionVDRA_DANRE Nuclear hormone receptor. Transcription factor that mediates the action of vitamin D3 by controlling the expression of hormone sensitive genes. Regulates transcription of hormone sensitive genes via its association with the WINAC complex, a chromatin-remodeling complex. Plays a central role in calcium homeostasis.[1] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe Vitamin D receptor (VDR) plays a key role in calcium homeostasis, as well as in cell proliferation and differentiation. Among the large number of VDR ligands that have been developed, we have previously shown that BXL-62 and Gemini-72, two C-20-modified vitamin D analogs are highly potent VDR agonists. In this study, we show that both VDR ligands restore the transcriptional activities of VDR variants unresponsive to the natural ligand and identified in patients with rickets. The elucidated mechanisms of action underlying the activities of these C-20-modified analogs emphasize the mutual adaptation of the ligand and the VDR ligand-binding pocket.
