A New Class of Vitamin D Receptor Ligands that Induce Structural Rearrangement of the Ligand-binding Pocket
Structural highlights
FunctionVDR_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] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedTo identify novel vitamin D receptor (VDR) ligands that induce a novel architecture within the ligand-binding pocket (LBP), we have investigated eight 22-butyl-1alpha,24-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) derivatives (3-10), all having a butyl group as the branched alkyl side chain. We found that the 22S-butyl-20-epi-25,26,27-trinorvitamin D derivative 5 was a potent VDR agonist, whereas the corresponding compound 4 with the natural configuration at C(20) was a potent VDR antagonist. Analogues with the full vitamin D(3) side chain were less potent agonist, and whether they were agonists or antagonists depended on the 24-configuration. X-ray crystal structures demonstrated that the VDR-LBD accommodating the potent agonist 5 has an architecture wherein the lower side and the helix 11 side of the LBP is simply expanded relative to the canonical active-VDR situation; in contrast, the potent antagonist 4 induces an extra cavity to accommodate the branched moiety. This is the first report of a VDR antagonist that generates a new cavity to alter the canonical pocket structure of the ligand occupied VDR.
