To better understand how GRbeta functions as a dominant negative inhibitor of GRalpha at a molecular level, we determined the crystal structure of the ligand binding domain of GRbeta complexed with antagonist RU-486. The structure reveals that RU-486 binds in the same ligand binding pocket as in GRalpha and the unique C-terminal amino acids of GRbeta are mostly disordered. Binding energy analysis suggests that these C-terminal residues of GRbeta do not contribute to RU-486 binding. Intriguingly, the GRbeta/RU-486 complex binds corepressor peptide with similar affinity as GRalpha/RU-486 complex, despite the lack of helix 12. Our biophysical and biochemical analysis reveals that in the presence of RU-486, GRbeta is found in a conformation that favors corepressor binding, potentially antagonizing GRalpha function. This study thus presents an unexpected molecular mechanism by which GRbeta could repress transcription.
