概括

更高的视网红酸受体 (RAR) 表达,而不是视网红素X受体 (RXR),可以促进活细胞中的受体-DNA结合. 这表明RAR,而不是RXR,是核受体基因调节的限制因素.

科学领域:

分子生物学分子生物学
细胞生物学细胞生物学
遗传学遗传学是一个

背景情况:

II型核受体 (T2NRs) 通过将DNA作为异构体与视网膜X受体 (RXR) 结合来调节基因表达.
之前的研究表明,对有限的RXR池的竞争控制了T2NR染色体结合.
这种机制在使用内源性蛋白质的活细胞中仍然未经测试.

研究的目的:

通过使用内源蛋白来研究T2NR-RXR异体化和染色素结合的体内调节.

Transducer Mechanism: Nuclear Receptors

Transducer Mechanism: Nuclear Receptors

Nuclear receptors, or NRs, are unique transcription factors that regulate gene transcription and affect the cellular pathways involved in reproduction, development, or metabolism. Their ability to be stimulated by small lipophilic ligands and control vital cellular processes makes them ideal drug targets. Nearly 10-15% of currently prescribed drugs target these receptors.
About 48 different soluble family members of nuclear receptors are identified that can be divided into two main classes:

Protein Networks

Protein Networks

An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Protein Dynamics in Living Cells

Protein Dynamics in Living Cells

Different fluorescence-based techniques are used to study the protein dynamics in living cells. These techniques include FRAP, FRET, and PET.
Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) is a fluorescent-protein-based detection technique used to quantify protein movement rates within the cell. This method exposes a small portion of the cell to an intense laser beam. The laser beam causes permanent photobleaching of the fluorophore-tagged proteins in the exposed region. As the bleached...
