Crystal structure of VDR in complex with DLAM-2P
Structural highlights
Function[VDR_RAT] 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.[1] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe active metabolite of vitamin D3 , 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 , acts as a ligand for the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and activates VDR-mediated gene expression. Recently, we characterized 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 -26,23-lactams (DLAMs), which mimic vitamin D3 metabolites, as noncalcemic VDR ligands that barely activate the receptor. In this study, we present structural insights onto the regulation of VDR function by DLAMs. X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed that DLAMs induced a large conformational change in the loop region between helices H6 and H7 in the VDR ligand-binding domain. Our structural analysis suggests that targeting of the loop region may be a new mode of VDR regulation.
