Crystal structure of zVDR L337H mutant-gemini complex
Structural highlights
Disease[NCOA2_HUMAN] Note=Chromosomal aberrations involving NCOA2 may be a cause of acute myeloid leukemias. Inversion inv(8)(p11;q13) generates the KAT6A-NCOA2 oncogene, which consists of the N-terminal part of KAT6A and the C-terminal part of NCOA2/TIF2. KAT6A-NCOA2 binds to CREBBP and disrupts its function in transcription activation. Function[VDRA_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] [NCOA2_HUMAN] Transcriptional coactivator for steroid receptors and nuclear receptors. Coactivator of the steroid binding domain (AF-2) but not of the modulating N-terminal domain (AF-1). Required with NCOA1 to control energy balance between white and brown adipose tissues.[2] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe bioactive form of vitamin D [1,25(OH)2D3] regulates mineral and bone homeostasis and exerts potent anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative properties through binding to the vitamin D receptor (VDR). The 3D structures of the VDR ligand-binding domain with 1,25(OH)2D3 or gemini analogs unveiled the molecular mechanism underlying ligand recognition. On the basis of structure-function correlations, we generated a point-mutated VDR (VDR(gem)) that is unresponsive to 1,25(OH)2D3, but the activity of which is efficiently induced by the gemini ligands. Moreover, we show that many VDR target genes are repressed by unliganded VDR(gem) and that mineral ion and bone homeostasis are more impaired in VDR(gem) mice than in VDR null mice, demonstrating that mutations abolishing VDR ligand binding result in more severe skeletal defects than VDR null mutations. As gemini ligands induce VDR(gem) transcriptional activity in mice and normalize their serum calcium levels, VDR(gem) is a powerful tool to further unravel both liganded and unliganded VDR signaling. A vitamin D receptor selectively activated by gemini analogs reveals ligand dependent and independent effects.,Huet T, Laverny G, Ciesielski F, Molnar F, Ramamoorthy TG, Belorusova AY, Antony P, Potier N, Metzger D, Moras D, Rochel N Cell Rep. 2015 Feb 3;10(4):516-26. doi: 10.1016/j.celrep.2014.12.045.
