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 ligand-binding domain. The recruitment of the AF2-region of, the protein is not achieved via direct polar interactions of the ligand, with protein side-chains of this helical segment, but rather via few, hydrophobic contacts and probably more importantly via indirect effects, involving the pre-orientation of side-chains that surround the, ligand-binding pocket and form the interface to the AF2-helix.On the basis, of these results we propose a binding mode and a mechanism of action for, the putative natural ligands, oxidised derivatives of cholesterol.
