THRb mutation with a novel agonist
Structural highlights
DiseaseTHB_HUMAN Defects in THRB are the cause of generalized thyroid hormone resistance (GTHR) [MIM:188570. GTHR is a disease characterized by goiter, abnormal mental functions, increased susceptibility to infections, abnormal growth and bone maturation, tachycardia and deafness. Affected individuals may also have attention deficit-hyperactivity disorders (ADHD) and language difficulties. GTHR patients also have high levels of circulating thyroid hormones (T3-T4), with normal or slightly elevated thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH).[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] Defects in THRB are the cause of generalized thyroid hormone resistance autosomal recessive (GTHRAR) [MIM:274300. An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by goiter, clinical euthyroidism, end-organ unresponsiveness to thyroid hormone, abnormal growth and bone maturation, and deafness. Patients also have high levels of circulating thyroid hormones, with elevated thyroid stimulating hormone. Defects in THRB are the cause of selective pituitary thyroid hormone resistance (PRTH) [MIM:145650; also known as familial hyperthyroidism due to inappropriate thyrotropin secretion. PRTH is a variant form of thyroid hormone resistance and is characterized by clinical hyperthyroidism, with elevated free thyroid hormones, but inappropriately normal serum TSH. Unlike GRTH, where the syndrome usually segregates with a dominant allele, the mode of inheritance in PRTH has not been established.[19] [20] FunctionTHB_HUMAN High affinity receptor for triiodothyronine.[21] Publication Abstract from PubMedResistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) is a clinical disorder without specific and effective therapeutic strategy, partly due to the lack of structural mechanisms for the defective ligand binding by mutated thyroid hormone receptors (THRs). We herein uncovered the prescription drug roxadustat as a novel THRbeta-selective ligand with therapeutic potentials in treating RTH, thereby providing a small molecule tool enabling the first probe into the structural mechanisms of RTH. Despite a wide distribution of the receptor mutation sites, different THRbeta mutants induce allosteric conformational modulation on the same His435 residue, which disrupts a critical hydrogen bond required for the binding of thyroid hormones. Interestingly, roxadustat retains hydrophobic interactions with THRbeta via its unique phenyl extension, enabling the rescue of the activity of the THRbeta mutants. Our study thus reveals a critical receptor allosterism mechanism for RTH by mutant THRbeta, providing a new and viable therapeutic strategy for the treatment of RTH.
