RESUMO
The interaction of the 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 receptor with RNA and synthetic polynucleotides has been examined by using receptor from rachitic chicken intestine. Total intestinal RNA inhibited the binding of receptor to calf thymus DNA-cellulose with an efficiency equivalent to single-stranded DNA. A comparison of the inhibitory activity of several polyribonucleotides gave the following order of activities: poly(I) = poly(G) greater than or equal to double-stranded DNA greater than single-stranded DNA = poly(U). Poly(A), poly(C), and the ribonucleoside monophosphates AMP, GMP, CMP, and UMP had minimal activity. A preference for single-stranded homopolymers was observed [i.e., poly(I) and poly(U) were active, whereas poly(I):poly(C) and poly(U):poly(A) were not]. The ability of nucleic acids to displace receptor from DNA-cellulose was also measured. Both poly(G) and poly(I) were more active than double-stranded DNA in this assay. Furthermore, differences were noted between intestinal RNA fractions separated on the basis of poly(A) content. Receptor also bound to immobilized intestinal RNA and polynucleotides. The KCl concentration necessary to disrupt binding to a given polynucleotide generally paralleled the activity of that molecule in DNA-cellulose inhibition and displacement assays. These results suggest that the 1 alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 receptor can interact with RNA as well as DNA.
