CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE HUMAN LIVER X RECEPTOR BETA LIGAND BINDING DOMAIN IN COMPLEX WITH A SYNTHETIC AGONIST
Overview
LXRbeta belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily of, ligand-activated transcription factors. Its natural ligands are supposed, to be oxidised derivatives of cholesterol. Stimulation of LXRbeta by, agonists activates a number of genes that are involved in the regulation, of lipid metabolism and cholesterol efflux from cells. Therefore, LXRbeta, may represent a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of dyslipidemia, and atherosclerosis.Here, we report the X-ray crystal structure of the, LXRbeta ligand-binding domain in complex with a synthetic agonist, T-0901317. This compound occupies the ligand-binding pocket of the, receptor, forms numerous lipophilic contacts with the protein and one, crucial hydrogen bond to His435 and stabilises the agonist conformation of, the receptor ...
