Switch #: SWTI000264

Switch type: Binary

Switch subtype: Allostery

Description:
Binding of the 3,3',5-triiodo-L-thyronine ligand to the nuclear Thyroid hormone receptor alpha (THRA) makes the binding site for the NRBOX motif of Mediator of RNA polymerase II transcription subunit 1 (MED1) accessible.

Participants:
(1) Mediator of RNA polymerase II transcription subunit 1 (MED1)
(2) Thyroid hormone receptor alpha (THRA)

(1) An extended LXXLL motif sequence determines the nuclear receptor binding specificity of TRAP220.

(2) The TRAP220 component of a thyroid hormone receptor- associated protein (TRAP) coactivator complex interacts directly with nuclear receptors in a ligand-dependent fashion.

(3) Structural and functional organization of TRAP220, the TRAP/mediator subunit that is targeted by nuclear receptors.
