Structural highlights
Disease[NCOA1_HUMAN] Note=A chromosomal aberration involving NCOA1 is a cause of rhabdomyosarcoma. Translocation t(2;2)(q35;p23) with PAX3 generates the NCOA1-PAX3 oncogene consisting of the N-terminus part of PAX3 and the C-terminus part of NCOA1. The fusion protein acts as a transcriptional activator. Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue carcinoma in childhood, representing 5-8% of all malignancies in children. Function[NR1I2_HUMAN] Nuclear receptor that binds and is activated by variety of endogenous and xenobiotic compounds. Transcription factor that activates the transcription of multiple genes involved in the metabolism and secretion of potentially harmful xenobiotics, drugs and endogenous compounds. Activated by the antibiotic rifampicin and various plant metabolites, such as hyperforin, guggulipid, colupulone, and isoflavones. Response to specific ligands is species-specific. Activated by naturally occurring steroids, such as pregnenolone and progesterone. Binds to a response element in the promoters of the CYP3A4 and ABCB1/MDR1 genes.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [NCOA1_HUMAN] Nuclear receptor coactivator that directly binds nuclear receptors and stimulates the transcriptional activities in a hormone-dependent fashion. Involved in the coactivation of different nuclear receptors, such as for steroids (PGR, GR and ER), retinoids (RXRs), thyroid hormone (TRs) and prostanoids (PPARs). Also involved in coactivation mediated by STAT3, STAT5A, STAT5B and STAT6 transcription factors. Displays histone acetyltransferase activity toward H3 and H4; the relevance of such activity remains however unclear. Plays a central role in creating multisubunit coactivator complexes that act via remodeling of chromatin, and possibly acts by participating in both chromatin remodeling and recruitment of general transcription factors. Required with NCOA2 to control energy balance between white and brown adipose tissues. Required for mediating steroid hormone response. Isoform 2 has a higher thyroid hormone-dependent transactivation activity than isoform 1 and isoform 3.[7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] Publication Abstract from PubMedMany drugs bind to and activate human pregnane X receptor (hPXR) to upregulate drug-metabolizing enzymes, resulting in decreased drug efficacy and increased resistance. This suggests that hPXR antagonists have therapeutic value. Here we report that SPA70 is a potent and selective hPXR antagonist. SPA70 inhibits hPXR in human hepatocytes and humanized mouse models and enhances the chemosensitivity of cancer cells, consistent with the role of hPXR in drug resistance. Unexpectedly, SJB7, a close analog of SPA70, is an hPXR agonist. X-ray crystallography reveals that SJB7 resides in the ligand-binding domain (LBD) of hPXR, interacting with the AF-2 helix to stabilize the LBD for coactivator binding. Differential hydrogen/deuterium exchange analysis demonstrates that SPA70 and SJB7 interact with the hPXR LBD. Docking studies suggest that the lack of the para-methoxy group in SPA70 compromises its interaction with the AF-2, thus explaining its antagonism. SPA70 is an hPXR antagonist and promising therapeutic tool.The xenobiotic-activated human pregnane X receptor (hPXR) regulates drug metabolism. Here the authors develop hPXR modulators, which are of potential therapeutic interest and functionally and structurally characterize the antagonist SPA70 and the structurally related agonist SJB7. SPA70 is a potent antagonist of human pregnane X receptor.,Lin W, Wang YM, Chai SC, Lv L, Zheng J, Wu J, Zhang Q, Wang YD, Griffin PR, Chen T Nat Commun. 2017 Sep 29;8(1):741. doi: 10.1038/s41467-017-00780-5.
