Solution Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Studies of the Ligand-Binding Domain of an Orphan Nuclear Receptor Reveal a Dynamic Helix in the Ligand-Binding Pocket

Abstract: The ligand-binding domains (LBDs) of the NR5A subfamily of nuclear receptors activate transcription via ligand-dependent and ligand-independent mechanisms. The Drosophila Ftz-F1 receptor (NR5A3) belongs to the latter category, and its ligand independence is attributed to a short helical segment (α6) within the protein that resides in the canonical ligand-binding pocket (LBP) in the crystalline state. Here, we show that the α6 helix is dynamic in solution when Ftz-F1 is bound to the LxxLL motif of its cofactor … Show more

“…We decided to analyze possible interactions of this domain with short peptide GCEC PEP (LRLIQNLQK), corresponding to the LIXXL motif present in the GCEC sequence [22]. The recorded reference spectrum is similar to the spectrum presented by Daffern et al [23], and shows a good peaks dispersion appropriate for globular protein (Fig. 8, blue).…”

“…As demonstrated, GCE and MET are able to interact with the transcription factor Fushi Tarazu factor-1 (FTZ-F1) [22]. Drosophila FTZ-F1 plays a critical role in the development of the segmented body plan in the embryo [23] and allows the crosstalk of the 20E and JH signaling pathways. In the absence of JH, FTZ-F1 binds to the 20E receptor composed of two proteins: the Ultraspiracle (Usp) and Ecdysone receptor (Ecr), and contributes to the induction of metamorphosis.…”

“…The mammalian NR5A subgroup of nuclear receptors has been implicated in a variety of reproductive contexts, including sex determination, gonad development, and ovulation ( Yazawa et al 2015 ; Meinsohn et al 2019 ). NR5A receptors are considered “orphan” nuclear receptors, able to bind phospholipids but also adopt an active conformation in the absence of a ligand ( Krylova et al 2005 ; Yoo et al 2011 ; Lu et al 2013 ; Musille et al 2013 ; Daffern et al 2018 ). Mammalian NR5A members Liver Receptor Homolog 1 (LRH-1) and Steroidogenic Factor-1 (SF-1) bind the same DNA sequence motif but regulate distinct sets of target genes in multiple tissues associated with the reproductive axis ( Meinsohn et al 2019 ).…”
