Function
VDR_RAT 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. Recruited to promoters via its interaction with the WINAC complex subunit BAZ1B/WSTF, which mediates the interaction with acetylated histones, an essential step for VDR-promoter association. Plays a central role in calcium homeostasis.[1]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
We designed and synthesized nonsecosteroidal vitamin D receptor (VDR) ligands that formed H-bonds with six amino acid residues (Tyr143, Ser233, Arg270, Ser274, His301 and His393) of the VDR ligand-binding domain. The ligand YR335 exhibited potent transcriptional activity, which was comparable to those of 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) and YR301. The crystal structure of the complex formed between YR335 and the VDR ligand-binding domain was solved, which revealed that YR335 formed H-bonds with the six amino acid residues mentioned above.
