ULTRASPIRACLE LIGAND BINDING DOMAIN FROM DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER
Overview
Ultraspiracle (USP) is the invertebrate homologue of the mammalian, retinoid X receptor (RXR). RXR plays a uniquely important role in, differentiation, development, and homeostasis through its ability to serve, as a heterodimeric partner to many other nuclear receptors. RXR is able to, influence the activity of its partner receptors through the action of the, ligand 9-cis retinoic acid. In contrast to RXR, USP has no known, high-affinity ligand and is thought to be a silent component in the, heterodimeric complex with partner receptors such as the ecdysone, receptor. Here we report the 2.4-A crystal structure of the USP, ligand-binding domain. The structure shows that a conserved sequence motif, found in dipteran and lepidopteran USPs, but not in mammalian RXRs, serves, to lock USP in an inactive conformation. It also shows that USP has a, large hydrophobic cavity, implying that there is almost certainly a, natural ligand for USP. This cavity is larger than that seen previously, for most other nuclear receptors. Intriguingly, this cavity has partial, occupancy by a bound lipid, which is likely to resemble the natural ligand, for USP.
