[VDR_HUMAN] Defects in VDR are the cause of rickets vitamin D-dependent type 2A (VDDR2A) [MIM:277440]. A disorder of vitamin D metabolism resulting in severe rickets, hypocalcemia and secondary hyperparathyroidism. Most patients have total alopecia in addition to rickets.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
Function
[RXRA_HUMAN] Receptor for retinoic acid. Retinoic acid receptors bind as heterodimers to their target response elements in response to their ligands, all-trans or 9-cis retinoic acid, and regulate gene expression in various biological processes. The RAR/RXR heterodimers bind to the retinoic acid response elements (RARE) composed of tandem 5'-AGGTCA-3' sites known as DR1-DR5. The high affinity ligand for RXRs is 9-cis retinoic acid. RXRA serves as a common heterodimeric partner for a number of nuclear receptors. The RXR/RAR heterodimers bind to the retinoic acid response elements (RARE) composed of tandem 5'-AGGTCA-3' sites known as DR1-DR5. In the absence of ligand, the RXR-RAR heterodimers associate with a multiprotein complex containing transcription corepressors that induce histone acetylation, chromatin condensation and transcriptional suppression. On ligand binding, the corepressors dissociate from the receptors and associate with the coactivators leading to transcriptional activation. The RXRA/PPARA heterodimer is required for PPARA transcriptional activity on fatty acid oxidation genes such as ACOX1 and the P450 system genes.[11][12][13][14] [VDR_HUMAN] Nuclear hormone receptor. Transcription factor that mediates the action of vitamin D3 by controlling the expression of hormone sensitive genes. Regulates transcription of hormone sensitive genes via its association with the WINAC complex, a chromatin-remodeling complex. Recruited to promoters via its interaction with the WINAC complex subunit BAZ1B/WSTF, which mediates the interaction with acetylated histones, an essential step for VDR-promoter association. Plays a central role in calcium homeostasis.[15][16][17][18]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
The Vitamin D receptor (VDR) is a ligand-responsive transcription factor that forms homo- or heterodimers on response elements composed of two hexameric half-sites separated by three base pairs of spacer DNA. Binding of 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) to the full-length VDR causes destabilization of the VDR homodimer and formation of a heterodimeric complex with the 9-cis retinoic acid receptor (RXR). VDR and RXR DNA-binding domains (DBDs) do not mimic this behavior, however: VDR DBD homodimers are formed exclusively, even in the presence of excess RXR DBD. Exploiting the asymmetry of the heterodimer and our knowledge of the homodimeric DBD interface, we have engineered VDR mutants that disfavor the homodimeric complex and allow for the formation of heterodimeric DBD complexes with RXR on DR3 elements. One of these complexes has been crystallized and its structure determined. However, the polarity of the proteins relative to the DNA is non-physiological due to crystal packing between symmetry-related VDR DBD protomers. This reveals a flattened energy landscape that appears to rely on elements outside of the core DBD for response element discrimination in the heterodimer.
