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] [MED1_HUMAN] Component of the Mediator complex, a coactivator involved in the regulated transcription of nearly all RNA polymerase II-dependent genes. Mediator functions as a bridge to convey information from gene-specific regulatory proteins to the basal RNA polymerase II transcription machinery. Mediator is recruited to promoters by direct interactions with regulatory proteins and serves as a scaffold for the assembly of a functional preinitiation complex with RNA polymerase II and the general transcription factors.[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
We report here the design and synthesis of a novel vitamin D receptor (VDR) agonist whose hydrophobic core structure is p-carborane (1,12-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane, an icosahedral carbon-containing boron cluster having remarkable thermal and chemical stability and a characteristically hydrophobic B-H surface). This carborane-based VDR ligand exhibited moderate vitamin D activity, comparable to that of the natural hormone, despite its simple and flexible structure. X-ray structure analysis provided direct evidence that the carborane cage binds to the hydrophobic surface of the ligand-binding pocket of the receptor, promoting transition to the active conformation. These results indicate that the spherical B-H surface of carborane can function efficiently as a hydrophobic anchor in binding to the receptor surface, thereby allowing induced fitting of the three essential hydroxyl groups on the alkyl chains to the appropriate positions for interaction with the VDR binding site, despite the entropic disadvantage of the flexible structure. We suggest that carborane structure is a promising option in the design of novel drug candidates.
