[HTML][HTML] Defective release of corepressor by hinge mutants of the thyroid hormone receptor found in patients with resistance to thyroid hormone

On positive thyroid hormone response elements (pTREs), thyroid hormone receptor (TR)
binding to DNA in the absence of ligand (thyroid hormone, T 3) decreases transcription
(silencing). Silencing is due to a family of recently described nuclear corepressor proteins
(NCoR and SMRT) which bind to the CoR box in the hinge region of TR. Ligand-dependent
activation of TR is associated with displacement of corepressors and recruitment of
coactivating proteins. Resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH) is due to mutations in the β …
