Nuclear Hormone Receptor Superfamily

• 1. 48 Human genes
• 2. Major Categories:

Knock-out in mice causes reproductive, developmental, or metabolic abnormalities.

Thyroid Hormone Receptor (TR)- like TR, RAR, PPAR, Vitamin D receptor, LiverX Receptor Estrogen Receptor (ER)- like ER, PR, AR, Estrogen Receptor Related, Glucocorticoid receptor, Mineralocorticoid receptor Retinoid X Receptor (RXR) like RXR, Hepatocyte nuclear factor-4, etc.

Structural features of the PKA Activation Loop

Phosphorylation of the MAP Kinase activation loop

• Phosphorylation on threonine and

tyrosine

• Phospho-Thr 183 contacts α-C and

promotes active conformation

• Phospho-Thr 183 promotes ERK2

dimerization via conformational changes in C-terminal extension

Summary

• 1. Nuclear hormone receptors consist of a DNA-

binding domain and ligand-binding domain.

• 2. Cytokine receptors signal through the JAK

kinases, which have 2 kinase domains, and the STAT transcription factors.

• 3. mTOR is a signal integrator for metabolic and

growth factor signaling.

• 4. Protein kinases are regulated by PTM’s and

protein-protein interactions.
