>gnl|CDD|132746 cd06948, NR_LBD_COUP-TF, Ligand binding domain of chicken ovalbumin
           upstream promoter transcription factors, a member of the
           nuclear receptor family.  The ligand binding domain of
           chicken ovalbumin upstream promoter transcription
           factors (COUP-TFs): COUP-TFs are orphan members of the
           steroid/thyroid hormone receptor superfamily. They are
           expressed in many tissues and are involved in the
           regulation of several important biological processes,
           such as neurogenesis, organogenesis, cell fate
           determination, and metabolic homeostasis. In mammals two
           isoforms named COUP-TFI and COUP-TFII have been
           identified. Both genes show an exceptional homology and
           overlapping expression patterns, suggesting that they
           may serve redundant functions. Although COUP-TF was
           originally characterized as a transcriptional activator
           of the chicken ovalbumin gene, COUP-TFs are generally
           considered to be repressors of transcription for other
           nuclear hormone receptors, such as retinoic acid
           receptor (RAR), thyroid hormone receptor (TR), vitamin D
           receptor (VDR), peroxisome proliferator activated
           receptor (PPAR), and hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 (HNF4).
           Like other members of the nuclear receptor (NR)
           superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors,
           COUP-TFs  have  a central well cons erved DNA binding
           domain (DBD), a variable N-terminal domain, a flexible
           hinge and a C-terminal ligand binding domain (LBD).

           nuclear receptor (PNR)  like family: This family
           includes photoreceptor cell-specific nuclear receptor
           (PNR), Tailless (TLX), and related receptors. TLX is an
           orphan receptor that is expressed by neural
           stem/progenitor cells in the adult brain of the
           subventricular zone (SVZ) and the dentate gyrus (DG). It
           plays a key role in neural development by promoting cell
           cycle progression and preventing apoptosis in the
           developing brain. PNR is expressed only in the outer
           layer of retinal photoreceptor cells. It may be involved
           in the signaling pathway regulating photoreceptor
           differentiation and/or maintenance. Like other members

>gnl|CDD|132750 cd06952, NR_LBD_TR2_like, The ligand binding domain of the orphan
           nuclear receptors TR4 and TR2.  The ligand binding
           domain of the TR4 and TR2 (human testicular receptor 4
           and 2):  TR4 and TR2 are orphan nuclear receptors.
           Several isoforms of TR4 and TR2 have been isolated in
           various tissues. TR2 is abundantly expressed in the
           androgen-sensitive prostate. TR4 transcripts are
           expressed in many tissues, including central nervous
           system, adrenal gland, spleen, thyroid gland, and
           prostate. The expression of TR2 is negatively regulated
           by androgen, retinoids, and radiation. The expression of
           both mouse TR2 and TR4 is up-regulated by neurocytokine
           ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) in mouse. It has
           shown that human TR2 binds to a wide spectrum of natural
           hormone response elements (HREs) with distinct
           affinities suggesting that TR2 may cross-talk with other
           gene expression regulation systems. The genes responding
           to TR2 or TR4 include genes that are regulated by
           retinoic acid receptor, vitamin D receptor, peroxisome
           proliferator-activated receptor. TR4/2 binds to HREs as
           a dimer. Like other members of the nuclea r receptor
           (NR) superfamily of ligand-activated transcription
           factors, TR2-like receptors  have  a central well
           conserved DNA binding domain (DBD), a variable

>gnl|CDD|132741 cd06943, NR_LBD_RXR_like, The ligand binding domain of the retinoid
           X receptor and Ultraspiracle, members of nuclear
           receptor superfamily.  The ligand binding domain of the
           retinoid X receptor (RXR) and Ultraspiracle (USP): This
           family includes two evolutionary related nuclear
           receptors: retinoid X receptor (RXR) and Ultraspiracle
           (USP). RXR is a nuclear receptor in mammalian and USP is
           its counterpart in invertebrates.  The native ligand of
           retinoid X receptor is 9-cis retinoic acid (RA). RXR
           functions as a DNA binding partner by forming
           heterodimers with other nuclear receptors including CAR,
           FXR, LXR, PPAR, PXR, RAR, TR, and VDR. RXRs can play
           different roles in these heterodimers. It acts  either
           as a structural component of the heterodimer complex,
           required for DNA binding but not acting as a receptor or
           as both a structural and a functional component of the
           heterodimer, allowing 9-cis RA to signal through the
           corresponding heterodimer. In addition, RXR can also
           form homodimers, functioning as a receptor for 9-cis RA,
           independently of other nuclear receptors. Ultraspiracle
           (USP) plays similar roles as DNA binding partner of
           other nuclear rec eptors in invertebrates. USP has no
           known high-affinity ligand and is thought to be a silent
           component in the heterodimeric complex with partner
           receptors. Like other members of the nuclear receptor
           (NR) superfamily of ligand-activated transcription
           factors, RXR and USP  have a central well conserved DNA
           binding domain (DBD), a variable N-terminal domain, a

           (LBD).

>gnl|CDD|132729 cd06931, NR_LBD_HNF4_like, The ligand binding domain of heptocyte
           nuclear factor 4, which is explosively expanded in
           nematodes.  The ligand binding domain of hepatocyte
           nuclear factor 4 (HNF4) like proteins: HNF4 is a member
           of the nuclear receptor superfamily. HNF4 plays a key
           role in establishing and maintenance of hepatocyte
           differentiation in the liver. It is also expressed in
           gut, kidney, and pancreatic beta cells. HNF4 was
           originally classified as an orphan receptor, but later
           it is found that HNF4 binds with very high affinity to a
           variety of fatty acids. However, unlike other nuclear
           receptors, the ligands do not act as a molecular switch
           for HNF4. They seem to constantly bind to the receptor,
           which is constitutively active as a transcription
           activator. Like other members of the nuclear receptor
           (NR) superfamily of ligand-activated transcription
           factors, HNF4  has a central well conserved DNA binding
           domain (DBD), a variable N-terminal domain, a flexible
           hinge and a C-terminal ligand binding domain (LBD). The
           LBD domain is also responsible for recruiting
           co-activator proteins. More than 280 nuclear receptors
           are found in C. ele gans, most of which are originated
           from an explosive burst of duplications of HNF4.

           family includes at least three subgroups of receptors
           that function in embryo development and differentiation,

           cis-acting DNA motif of ftz gene, which required at
           several stages of development. Particularly, FTZ-F1
           genes are strongly linked to steroid biosynthesis and
           sex-determination; LRH-1 is a regulator of bile-acid
           homeostasis, steroidogenesis, reverse cholesterol
           transport and the initial stages of embryonic
           development. SF-1 is an essential regulator of endocrine
           development and function and is considered a master
           regulator of reproduction; SF-1 functions cooperatively
           with other transcription factors to modulate gene

           The ligand binding domain of the glucocorticoid receptor
           (GR): GR is a ligand-activated transcription factor
           belonging to the nuclear receptor superfamily. It binds
           with high affinity to cortisol and other
           glucocorticoids. GR is expressed in almost every cell in
           the body and regulates genes controlling a wide variety
           of processes including the development, metabolism, and
           immune response of the organism. In the absence of
           hormone, the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is complexes
           with a variety of heat shock proteins in the cytosol.
           The binding of the glucocorticoids results in release of
           the heat shock proteins and transforms it to its active
           state. One mechanism of action of GR is by direct
           activation of gene transcription. The activated form of
           GR forms dimers, translocates into the nucleus, and
           binds to specific hormone responsive elements,
           activating gene transcription. GR can also function as a
           repressor of other gene transcription activators, such
           as NF-kappaB and AF-1 by directly binding to them, and
           bloc king the expression of their activated genes. Like
           other members of the nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily

           PR is a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily of
           ligand dependent transcription factors, mediating the
           biological actions of progesterone. PR functions in a
           variety of biological processes including development of
           the mammary gland, regulating cell cycle progression,
           protein processing, and metabolism. When no binding
           hormone is present the carboxyl terminal inhibits
           transcription. Binding to a hormone induces a structural
           change that removes the inhibitory action. After
           progesterone binds to the receptor, PR forms a dimer and
           the complex enters the nucleus where it interacts with
           the hormone response element (HRE) in the promoters of
           progesterone responsive genes and alters their
           transcription. In addition, rapid actions of PR that
           occur independent of transcription, have also been
           observed in several tissues like brain, liver, mammary
           gland and spermatozoa. There are two natural PR isoforms
           called PR-A and PR-B. PR-B has an additional stretc h of
           164 amino acids at the N terminus. The extra domain in
           PR-B performs activation functions by recruiting
           coactivators  that could not be recruited by PR-A. Like

           receptor , progesterone receptor, and androgen receptor.
            The ligand binding domain of GR_like nuclear receptors:
           This family of NRs includes four distinct, but closely
           related nuclear hormone receptors: glucocorticoid
           receptor (GR), mineralocorticoid receptor (MR),
           progesterone receptor (PR), and androgen receptor (AR).
           These four receptors play key roles in some of the most
           fundamental physiological functions such as the stress
           response, metabolism, electrolyte homeostasis, immune
           function, growth, development, and reproduction. The NRs
           in this family use multiple signaling pathways and share
           similar functional mechanisms.  The dominant signaling
           pathway is via direct DNA binding and transcriptional
           regulation of target genes. Another mechanism is via
           protein-protein interactions, mainly with other
           transcription factors such as nuclear factor-kappaB and
           activator protein-1, to regulate gene expression
           patterns. Both pathways can up-regulate or down-regulate
           gene expression and require ligand activation of the
           receptor and recruitment of other cofactors such as
           chaperone proteins and coregulator proteins. Like other
           members of the nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily of
           ligand-activated transcription factors, GR, MR, PR, and

           androgen receptor, ligand activated transcription
           regulator.  The ligand binding domain of the androgen
           receptor (AR): AR is a member of the nuclear receptor
           family. It is activated by binding either of the
           androgenic hormones, testosterone or
           dihydrotestosterone, which are responsible for male
           primary sexual characteristics and for secondary male
           characteristics, respectively. The primary mechanism of
           action of ARs is by direct regulation of gene
           transcription. The binding of an androgen results in a
           conformational change in the androgen receptor which
           causes its transport from the cytosol into the cell
           nucleus, and dimerization. The receptor dimer binds to a
           hormone response element of AR-regulated genes and
           modulates their expression. Another mode of action is
           independent of their interactions with DNA. The
           receptors interact directly with signal transduction
           proteins in the cytoplasm, causing rapid changes in cell
           function, such as ion transport. Like other members of

           receptor superfamily.  The ligand binding domain of
           nuclear receptor Nurr1_like: This family of nuclear
           receptors, including Nurr1, Nerve growth
           factor-induced-B (NGFI-B) and DHR38 are involved in the
           embryo development. Nurr1 is a transcription factor that
           is expressed in the embryonic ventral midbrain and is
           critical for the development of dopamine (DA) neurons.
           Structural studies have shown that the ligand binding
           pocket of Nurr1 is filled by bulky hydrophobic residues,
           making it unable to bind to ligands. Therefore, it
           belongs to the class of orphan receptors. However, Nurr1
           forms heterodimers with RXR and can promote signaling
           via its partner, RXR. NGFI-B is an early immediate gene
           product of embryo development that is rapidly produced
           in response to a variety of cellular signals including
           nerve growth factor. It is involved in T-cell-mediated
           apoptosis, as well as neuronal differentiation and
           function. NGFI-B regulates transcription by binding to a
           specific DNA target upstream of its target genes and
           regulating the rate of tr anscriptional initiation.
           Another group of receptor in this family is DHR38.
           DHR38 is the Drosophila homolog to the vertebrate
           NGFI-B-type orphan receptor. It interacts with the USP
           component of the ecdysone receptor complex, suggesting
           that DHR38 might modulate ecdysone-triggered signals in
           the fly, in addition to the ECR/USP pathway. Nurr1_like
           proteins exhibit a modular structure that is
           characteristic for nuclear receptors; they have a
           central well conserved DNA binding domain (DBD), a
           variable N-terminal domain, a non-conserved hinge and a

           receptor is present only in invertebrates and regulates
           the expression of a large number of genes during
           development and reproduction. ECR functions as a
           heterodimer by partnering with ultraspiracle protein
           (USP), the ortholog of the vertebrate retinoid X
           receptor (RXR). The natural ligands of ecdysone receptor
           are ecdysteroids#the endogenous steroidal hormones found
           in invertebrates. In addition, insecticide
           bisacylhydrazine used against pests has shown to act on
           EcR. EcR must be dimerised with a USP for high-affinity

           are members of the nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily of
           ligand-regulated transcription factors. RARs mediate the
           biological effect of retinoids, including both naturally
           dietary vitamin A (retinol) metabolites and active
           synthetic analogs. Retinoids play key roles in a wide
           variety of essential biological processes, such as
           vertebrate embryonic morphogenesis and organogenesis,
           differentiation and apoptosis, and homeostasis. RARs
           function as heterodimers with retinoic X receptors by
           binding to specific RAR response elements (RAREs) found
           in the promoter regions of retinoid target genes. In the
           absence of ligand, the RAR-RXR heterodimer recruits the
           corepressor proteins NCoR or AMRT, and associated
           factors such as histone deacetylases or
           DNA-methyltransferases, leading to an inactive condensed
           chromatin structure, preventing transcription. Upon
           ligand binding, the corepressors are released, and
           coactivator complexes such as histone acetyltransferase
           or histone arginine methyltransferases are recruited to
           activate transcription. There are three RAR subtypes
           (alpha, beta, gamma), originating from three distinct

           The ligand binding domain (LBD) of REV-ERB receptors:
           REV-ERBs are transcriptional regulators belonging to the
           nuclear receptor superfamily. They regulate a number of
           physiological functions including the circadian rhythm,
           lipid metabolism, and cellular differentiation. The LBD
           domain of REV-ERB is unusual   in the nuclear receptor
           family by lacking the AF-2 region that is responsible
           for coactivator interaction.  REV-ERBs act as
           constitutive repressors because of their inability to
           bind coactivators.  REV-ERB receptors can bind to two
           classes of DNA response elements as either a monomer or
           heterodimer, indicating functional diversity. When bound
           to the DNA, they recruit corepressors (NcoR/histone
           deacetylase 3) to the promoter, resulting in repression
           of the target gene. The porphyrin heme has been

           binding domain of Liver X receptors: Liver X receptors
           (LXRs) belong to a family of nuclear receptors of
           ligand-activated transcription factors. LXRs operate as
           cholesterol sensors which protect from cholesterol
           overload by stimulating reverse cholesterol transport
           from peripheral tissues to the liver and its excretion
           in the bile. Oxidized cholesterol derivatives or
           oxysterols were identified as specific ligands for LXRs.
           Upon ligand binding a conformational change leads to
           recruitment of co-factors, which stimulates expression
           of target genes. Among the LXR target genes are several
           genes involved in cholesterol efflux from peripheral
           tissues such as the ATP-binding-cassette transporters
           ABCA1, ABCG1 and ApoE. There are two LXR isoforms in
           mammals, LXRalpha and LXRbeta. LXRalpha is expressed
           mainly in the liver, intestine, kidney, spleen, and
           adipose tissue, whereas LXRbeta is ubiquitously
           expressed at lower level. Both LXRalpha and LXRbeta
           function as heterodimers with the retinoid X receptor
           (RX R) which may be activated by either LXR ligands or
           9-cis retinoic acid, a specific RXR ligand. The LXR/RXR

           receptors (PPAR):  Peroxisome proliferator-activated
           receptors (PPARs) are members of the nuclear receptor
           superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors.
           PPARs play important roles in regulating cellular
           differentiation, development and lipid metabolism.
           Activated PPAR forms a heterodimer with the retinoid X
           receptor (RXR) that binds to the hormone response
           element located upstream of the peroxisome proliferator
           responsive genes and interacts with co-activators. There
           are three subtypes of peroxisome proliferator activated
           receptors, alpha, beta (or delta), and gamma, each with
           a distinct tissue distribution. Several essential fatty
           acids, oxidized lipids and prostaglandin J derivatives
           can bind and activate PPAR.  Like other members of the
           nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily of ligand-activated
           transcription factors, PPAR has a central well conserved
           DNA binding domain (DBD), a variable N-terminal

          ecdysone-inducible gene found in an early late puff
          locus at position 78C during the onset of Drosophila
          metamorphosis. Two isoforms of E78, E78A and E78B, are
          expressed from two nested transcription units. An E78
          orthologue from the Platyhelminth Schistosoma mansoni
          (SmE78) has also been identified. It is the first E78
          orthologue known outside of the molting animals--the
          Ecdysozoa. SmE78 may be involved in transduction of an
          ecdysone signal in S. mansoni, consistent with its
          function in Drosophila.  Like other members of the

          receptors, a member of the nuclear receptor
          superfamily.  The ligand binding domain of vitamin D
          receptors (VDR): VDR is a member of the nuclear
          receptor (NR) superfamily that functions as classical
          endocrine receptors. VDR controls a wide range of
          biological activities including calcium metabolism,
          cell proliferation and differentiation, and
          immunomodulation. VDR is a high affinity receptor for
          the biologically most active Vitamin D metabolite,
          1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1alpha,25(OH)2D3). The
          binding of the ligand to the receptor induces a
          conformational change of the ligand binding domain
          (LBD) with consequent dissociation of corepressors.
          Upon ligand binding, VDR forms heterodimer with the
          retinoid X receptor (RXR) that binds to vitamin D
          response elements (VDREs), recruits coactivators. This
          leads to the expression of a large number of genes.
          Approximately 200 human genes are considered to be
          primary targets of VDR and even more genes are

          of Retinoid-related orphan receptors (RORs):
          Retinoid-related orphan receptors (RORs) are
          transcription factors belonging to the nuclear receptor
          superfamily. RORs are key regulators of many
          physiological processes during embryonic development.
          RORs bind as monomers to specific ROR response elements
          (ROREs) consisting of the consensus core motif AGGTCA
          preceded by a 5-bp A/T-rich sequence. Transcription
          regulation by RORs is mediated through certain
          corepressors, as well as coactivators. There are three
          subtypes of retinoid-related orphan receptors (RORs),
          alpha, beta, and gamma that differ only in N-terminal
          sequence and are distributed in distinct tissues.
          RORalpha plays a key role in the development of the
          cerebellum, particularly in the regulation of the
          maturation and survival of Purkinje cells. RORbeta
          expression is largely restricted to several regions of
          the brain, the retina, and pineal gland. RORgamma is
          essential for lymph node organogenesis. Recently, it
          has been su ggested that cholesterol or a cholesterol
          derivative is the natural ligand of RORalpha. Like
          other members of the nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily
