1. Integrated experimental biophysics and molecular dynamics simulations of biomolecules in solution - the interaction of nuclear receptors with DNA response elements and the inter-domain dynamics of Cellobiohydrolase I / Estudos por modelagem e dinâmica molecular integradas a técnicas físicas para biomoléculas em solução - interação de receptores nucleares a elementos responsivos no DNA e dinâmica inter-domínios da celobiohidrolase I
Collective motions play a fundamental role in solution biomolecule dynamics and energetics. These movements can couple very distant regions in the protein structures affection, for instance, allosteric mechanisms, the establishment of macromolecular complexes, and on the integrated function of multidomain proteins as molecullar machines. In this thesis, we p

2. Oligomerização, estruturas à baixa resolução, ligação ao DNA e ao ligante dos receptores de hormônios tireoidianos / Thyroid hormone receptor oligomerization, low resolution structures, DNA and ligand binding
The thyroid receptors (TRs) are proteins, which are involved in diverse and important physiological functions in the organisms, since they are regulators of development, cell divison and differentiation, metabolism and homeostasis. They are responsible by the regulation of specific gene transcription, through pleiotropic effects of lipophilic hormones in the

3. Antiproliferative effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 on breast cells: a mini review
The hormone 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3), the active form of vitamin D3, is an important regulator of calcium homeostasis, exerts antiproliferative effects on various cell systems and can induce differentiation in some kinds of hematopoietic cells. These effects are triggered by its receptor, vitamin D receptor (VDR), a phosphoprotein member of th

4. DNA bending by retinoid X receptor-containing retinoid and thyroid hormone receptor complexes.
Retinoid X receptors (RXR) have been identified as common subunits in the regulation of multiple hormonal signaling pathways. Using circular permutation and phasing analysis of specific response elements, we present evidence that RXR-retinoic acid receptor and RXR-thyroid hormone receptor heterodimer or RXR-RXR homodimer complexes induce directed DNA bends w

5. Evidence for defective retinoid transport and function in late onset Alzheimer's disease
The hypothesis of this article is that late onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) is influenced by the availability in brain of retinoic acid (RA), the final product of the vitamin A (retinoid) metabolic cascade. Genetic, metabolic, and environmental/dietary evidence is cited supporting this hypothesis. Significant genetic linkages to AD are demonstrated for marker

6. Distinct retinoid X receptor-retinoic acid receptor heterodimers are differentially involved in the control of expression of retinoid target genes in F9 embryonal carcinoma cells.
The F9 murine embryonal carcinoma cell line represents a well-established system for the study of retinoid signaling in vivo. We have investigated the functional specificity of different retinoid X receptor (RXR)-retinoic acid (RA) receptor (RAR) isotype pairs for the control of expression of endogenous RA-responsive genes, by using wild-type (WT), RXR alpha

7. A retinoid X receptor (RXR)-selective retinoid reveals that RXR-α is potentially a therapeutic target in breast cancer cell lines, and that it potentiates antiproliferative and apoptotic responses to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ligands

8. High level transactivation by a modified Bombyx ecdysone receptor in mammalian cells without exogenous retinoid X receptor
Our studies of the Bombyx mori ecdysone receptor (BE) revealed that, unlike the Drosophila melanogaster ecdysone receptor (DE), treatment of BE with the ecdysone agonist tebufenozide stimulated high level transactivation in mammalian cells without adding an exogenous heterodimer partner. Gel mobility shift and transfection assays with both the ultraspiracle

9. Recombinant thyroid hormone receptor and retinoid X receptor stimulate ligand-dependent transcription in vitro.
The thyroid hormone and retinoid X receptors form a heterodimer with each other and mediate thyroid hormone (T3)-dependent transcription. Retinoid X receptor, in addition, forms a homodimer and mediates 9-cis-retinoic acid-dependent transcription. Here, recombinant thyroid hormone receptor and recombinant retinoid X receptor beta expressed from baculovirus v

10. Three independent lines of evidence suggest retinoids as causal to schizophrenia
Retinoid dysregulation may be an important factor in the etiology of schizophrenia. This hypothesis is supported by three independent lines of evidence that triangulate on retinoid involvement in schizophrenia: (i) congenital anomalies similar to those caused by retinoid dysfunction are found in schizophrenics and their relatives; (ii) those loci that h

11. Vitamin D receptor contains multiple dimerization interfaces that are functionally different.
The vitamin D receptor mediates the signal of 1 alpha, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 by binding to vitamin D responsive elements in DNA as a homodimer or as a heterodimer composed of one vitamin D receptor subunit and one retinoid X receptor subunit. We have mapped the dimerization interfaces of the vitamin D receptor that is involved in homo- or heterodimer format

12. Retinoid X receptor alpha transactivates the hepatitis B virus enhancer 1 element by forming a heterodimeric complex with the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor.
The hepatitis B virus enhancer 1 contains a retinoic acid responsive element (RARE). We have previously demonstrated that retinoid X receptor alpha (RXR alpha) transactivates enhancer 1 by binding to the RARE. The present study has revealed that a heterodimeric complex composed of RXR alpha and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) interacts with
