>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
           flexible hinge and a C-terminal ligand binding domain
           (LBD).

           contains a group of four Cys residues which co-ordinates

>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.

           spacer nucleotides between the half-sites. However, a

           C4-type zinc fingers.  DNA-binding domain of the TR2 and
           TR4 (human testicular receptor 2 and 4) is composed of
           two C4-type zinc fingers. Each zinc finger contains a
           group of four Cys residues which coordinates a single
           zinc atom. TR2 and TR4 interact with specific DNA sites
           upstream of the target gene and modulate the rate of
           transcriptional initiation. TR4 and TR2 are orphan
           nuclear receptors; the physiological ligand is as yet
           unidentified. 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. It has been 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,

           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

           (TRs) is composed of two C4-type zinc fingers.
           DNA-binding domain of thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) is
           composed of two C4-type zinc fingers. Each zinc finger
           contains a group of four Cys residues which co-ordinates
           a single zinc atom. TR interacts with the thyroid
           response element, which is a DNA site with direct
           repeats of the consensus sequence 5'-AGGTCA-3' separated
           by one to five base pairs, upstream of target genes and
           modulates the rate of transcriptional initiation.
           Thyroid hormone receptor (TR) mediates the actions of
           thyroid hormones, which play critical roles in growth,
           development, and homeostasis in mammals. They regulate
           overall metabolic rate, cholesterol and triglyceride
           levels, and heart rate, and affect mood. TRs are
           expressed from two separate genes (alpha and beta) in
           human and each gene generates two isoforms of the
           receptor through differential promoter usage or
           splicing. TRalpha functions in the heart to regulate
           heart rate and rhythm and TRbeta is active in the liver
           and other tissues. The unliganded TRs function as
           transcription repressors, by binding to thyroid hormone
           response elements (TRE) predominantly as homodimers, or
           as heterodimers with retinoid X-receptors (RXR), and
           being associated with a complex of proteins containing
           corepressor proteins. Ligand binding promotes
           corepressor dissociation and binding of a coactivator to
           activate transcription. Like other members of the
           nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily of ligand-activated
           transcription factors, TR has a central well conserved

           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
           expression. Phospholipids have been identified as

           ligand binding domain of estrogen receptor (ER) and
           estrogen receptor-related receptors (ERRs): Estrogen
           receptors are a group of receptors which are activated
           by the hormone estrogen. Estrogen regulates many
           physiological processes including reproduction, bone
           integrity, cardiovascular health, and behavior. The main
           mechanism of action of the estrogen receptor is as a
           transcription factor by binding to the estrogen response
           element of target genes upon activation by estrogen and
           then recruiting coactivator proteins which are
           responsible for the transcription of target genes.
           Additionally some ERs may associate with other membrane
           proteins and can be rapidly activated by exposure of
           cells to estrogen.  ERRs are closely related to the
           estrogen receptor (ER) family. But, it lacks the ability
           to bind estrogen.  ERRs can interfere with the classic
           ER-mediated estrogen signaling pathway, positively or

           initiation. This nuclear receptor family includes at
           least three subgroups of receptors that function in
           embryo development and differentiation, and other
           processes. FTZ-F1 interacts with the cis-acting DNA
           motif of ftz gene, which is required at several stages
           of development. Particularly, FTZ-F1 regulated 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
           expression. Phospholipids have been identified as
           potential ligand for LRH-1 and steroidogenic factor-1
           (SF-1). However, the ligand for FTZ-F1 has not yet been
           identified. Most nuclear receptors function as homodimer
           or heterodimers. However, LRH-1 and SF-1 bind to DNA as
           monomers. Like other members of the nuclear receptor
           (NR) superfamily of ligand-activated transcription
           factors, receptors in this family  have  a central well
           conserved DNA-binding domain (DBD), a variable
           N-terminal domain, a flexible hinge and a C-terminal
           ligand binding domain (LBD).

           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. There are three
           subtypes of retinoid-related orphan receptors (RORs),
           alpha, beta, and gamma, which 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

           stem cells 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

           Drosophila ecdysone-induced protein 78 (E78) is a

           orthologue from the Platyhelminth Schistosoma mansoni

           composed of two C4-type zinc fingers. Each zinc finger
           contains a group of four Cys residues which co-ordinates
           a single zinc atom. EcR interacts with specific DNA
           sites upstream of the target gene and modulates the rate
           of transcriptional initiation. This family includes
           three types of nuclear receptors: Ecdysone receptor
           (EcR), Liver X receptor (LXR) and Farnesoid X receptor
           (FXR). The DNA binding activity is regulated by their
           corresponding ligands. The ligands for EcR are
           ecdysteroids; LXR is regulated by oxidized cholesterol
           derivatives or oxysterols; and bile acids control FXR's
           activities. Like other members of the nuclear receptor

            DNA-binding domain of estrogen related receptors (ERRs)
           is composed of two C4-type zinc fingers. Each zinc
           finger contains a group of four Cys residues which
           coordinates a single zinc atom. ERR interacts with the
           palindromic inverted repeat, 5'GGTCAnnnTGACC-3',
           upstream of the target gene and modulates the rate of
           transcriptional initiation. The estrogen
           receptor-related receptors (ERRs) are transcriptional
           regulators, which are closely related to the estrogen
           receptor (ER) family.  Although ERRs lack the ability to
           bind to estrogen and are so-called orphan receptors,
           they share target genes, co-regulators and promoters
           with the estrogen receptor (ER) family. By targeting the
           same set of genes, ERRs seem to interfere with the
           classic ER-mediated estrogen response in various ways.
           Like other members of the nuclear receptor (NR)

           pseudo-palindromic response elements, resembling
           inverted repeats of 5'-AGGTCA-3' separated by 1 bp,
           upstream of the target gene and modulates the rate of
           transcriptional initiation. EcR 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

           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

           cholesterol sensor which protects cells 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.
           LXR functions as a heterodimer with the retinoid X
           receptor (RXR) which may be activated by either LXR
           agonist or 9-cis retinoic acid, a specific RXR ligand.

           retinoic acid receptor (RAR): Retinoic acid receptors
           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
           genes. For each subtype, several isoforms exist that
           differ in their N-terminal region, allowing retinoids to

           Ecdysone-induced orphan receptor DHR4 is a member of the
           nuclear receptor family. DHR4 is expressed during the
           early Drosophila larval development and is induced by
           ecdysone. DHR4 coordinates growth and maturation in
           Drosophila by mediating endocrine response to the
           attainment of proper body size during larval
           development. Mutations in DHR4 result in shorter larval
           development which translates into smaller and lighter
           flies. Like other members of the nuclear receptor (NR)
           superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors,
           DHR4  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). .

           (estrogen).  The ligand binding domain (LBD) of Estrogen
           receptor (ER): Estrogen receptor, a member of nuclear
           receptor superfamily,  is activated by the hormone
           estrogen. Estrogen regulates many physiological
           processes including reproduction, bone integrity,
           cardiovascular health, and behavior. The main mechanism
           of action of the estrogen receptor is as a transcription
           factor by binding to the estrogen response element of
           target genes upon activation by estrogen and then
           recruiting coactivator proteins which are responsible
           for the transcription of target genes. Additionally some
           ERs may associate with other membrane proteins and can
           be rapidly activated by exposure of cells to estrogen.
           Like other members of the nuclear receptor (NR)
           superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors,
           ER has  a central well conserved DNA binding domain

           C-terminal LBD also contains AF-2 activation motif, the
           dimerization motif, and part of the nuclear localization
           region. Estrogen receptor has been linked to aging,
           cancer, obesity and other diseases.

           contains a group of four Cys residues which coordinates

           element, a direct repeat of GGTTCA DNA site with 3 bp
           spacer upstream of the target gene, and modulates the
           rate of transcriptional initiation.  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 a 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 regulated
           indirectly. Like other members of 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

           classes of DNA response elements as either a monomer or
           heterodimer, indicating functional diversity. When bound
           to the DNA, they recruit corepressors (NcoR/histone

           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
           complex binds to a liver X receptor response element

           receptors is composed of two C4-type zinc fingers.  The
           DNA binding domain of GR_like nuclear receptors is
           composed of two C4-type zinc fingers. Each zinc finger
           contains a group of four Cys residues which co-ordinates
           a single zinc atom. It interacts with specific DNA sites
           upstream of the target gene and modulates the rate of
           transcriptional initiation. This family of NRs includes
           four types of nuclear hormone receptors: glucocorticoid
           receptor (GR), mineralocorticoid receptor (MR),
           progesterone receptor (PR), and androgen receptor (AR).
           The receptors bind to common DNA elements containing a
           partial palindrome of the core sequence 5'-TGTTCT-3'
           with a 3bp spacer. These four receptors regulate 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 have high sequence homology and
           share similar functional mechanisms.  The dominant
           mechanism of function is by direct DNA binding and
           transcriptional regulation of target genes . The GR, MR,
           PR, and AR exhibit same modular structure. They have a
           central highly conserved DNA binding domain (DBD), a
           non-conserved N-terminal domain, a flexible hinge and a
           C-terminal ligand binding domain (LBD).

           receptor (CAR) is composed of two C4-type zinc fingers. 
           DNA-binding domain (DBD) of constitutive androstane
           receptor (CAR) is composed of two C4-type zinc fingers.
           Each zinc finger contains a group of four Cys residues
           which co-ordinates a single zinc atom. CAR DBD interacts
           with CAR response element, a perfect repeat of two
           AGTTCA motifs with a 4 bp spacer upstream of the target
           gene, and modulates the rate of transcriptional
           initiation. The constitutive androstane receptor (CAR)
           is a ligand-regulated transcription factor that responds
           to a diverse array of chemically distinct ligands,
           including many endogenous compounds and clinical drugs.
           It functions as a heterodimer with RXR. The CAR/RXR
           heterodimer binds many common response elements in the
           promoter regions of a diverse set of target genes
           involved in the metabolism, transport, and ultimately,
           elimination of these molecules from the body. CAR is a
           closest mammalian relative of PXR and is activated by
           some of the same ligands as PXR and regulates a subset
           of common genes. The sequence homology and functional
           similarity suggests that the CAR gene arose from a
           duplication of an ancestral PXR gene. Like other nuclear
           receptors, CAR has a central well conserved DNA binding
           domain, a variable N-terminal domain, a flexible hinge
           and a C-terminal ligand binding domain.

           hormone receptors: Thyroid hormone receptors are members
           of a superfamily of nuclear receptors. Thyroid hormone
           receptors (TR) mediate the actions of thyroid hormones,
           which play critical roles in growth, development, and
           homeostasis in mammals. They regulate overall metabolic
           rate, cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and heart

           separate genes (alpha and beta) in human and each gene
           generates two isoforms of the receptor through
           differential promoter usage or splicing. TRalpha
           functions in the heart to regulate heart rate and rhythm
           and TRbeta is active in the liver and other tissues. The
           unliganded TRs function as transcription repressors, by

           domain of androgen receptor (AR) is composed of two
           C4-type zinc fingers. Each zinc finger contains a group
           of four Cys residues which co-ordinates a single zinc
           atom. To regulate gene expression, AR interacts with a
           palindrome of the core sequence 5'-TGTTCT-3' with a 3-bp
           spacer. It also binds to the direct repeat  5'-TGTTCT-3'
           hexamer in some androgen controlled genes. AR is
           activated by the androgenic hormones, testosterone or
           dihydrotestosterone, which are responsible for primary
           and for secondary male characteristics, respectively.
           The primary mechanism of action of ARs is by direct
           regulation of gene transcription. The binding of
           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 of androgen receptor is independent of
           their interactions with DNA. The receptor interacts
           directly with signal transduction proteins in the
           cytoplasm, causing rapid changes in cell function, such
           as ion transport. Like other members of the nuclear

           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

           X receptor (FXR) is a member of the nuclear receptor
           superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors.
           FXR is highly expressed in the liver, the intestine, the
           kidney, and the adrenals.  FXR plays key roles in the
           regulation of bile acid, cholesterol, triglyceride, and
           glucose metabolism. Evidences show that it also
           regulates liver regeneration. Upon binding of ligands,
           such as bile acid, an endogenous ligand, FXRs bind to
           FXR response elements (FXREs) either as a monomer or as
           a heterodimer with retinoid X receptor (RXR), and
           regulate the expression of various genes involved in
           bile acid, lipid, and glucose metabolism. There are two
           FXR genes (FXRalpha and FXRbeta) in mammals. A single
           FXRalpha gene encodes four isoforms resulting from
           differential use of promoters and alternative splicing.
           FXRbeta is a functional receptor in mice, rats, rabbits
           and dogs, but is a pseudogene in humans and primates.
           Like other members of the nuclear receptor (NR)
           superfamily, farnesoid X receptors have a central well
           conserved DNA binding domain (DBD), a variable
           N-terminal domain, a non-conserved hinge and a
           C-terminal ligand binding domain (LBD).

           belongs to the conserved family of nuclear receptors. It
           is a transcription factor that is expressed in the

           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

           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
           ligand binding to occur. The ligand binding triggers a

           includes pregnane X receptor (PXR), constitutive
           androstane receptor (CAR) and other related nuclear
           receptors.  They function as sensors of toxic byproducts
           of cell metabolism and of exogenous chemicals, to
           facilitate their elimination. The nuclear receptor
           pregnane X receptor (PXR) is a ligand-regulated
           transcription factor that responds to a diverse array of
           chemically distinct ligands, including many endogenous
           compounds and clinical drugs. The ligand binding domain
           of PXR shows remarkable flexibility to accommodate both
           large and small molecules. PXR functions as a
           heterodimer with retinoic X receptor-alpha (RXRa) and
           binds to a variety of response elements in the promoter
           regions of a diverse set of target genes involved in the
           metabolism, transport, and elimination of these
           molecules from the cell. Constitutive androstane
           receptor (CAR) is a closest mammalian relative of PXR,
           which has also been proposed to function as a
           xenosensor. CAR is activated by some of the same ligands
           as PXR and regulates a subset of common genes. The
           sequence homology and functional similarity suggests

           receptors:glucocorticoid receptor, mineralocorticoid
           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
           AR share the same modular structure with a central well

           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 regulated
           indirectly. Like other members of the nuclear receptor
           (NR) superfamily of ligand-activated transcription
           factors, VDR 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).

           receptor, a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily. 
           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
           of ligand-activated transcription factors, GR 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 also
           functions for dimerization and chaperone protein

           The ligand binding domain of the mineralocorticoid
           receptor (MR): MR, also called aldosterone receptor, is
           a member of nuclear receptor superfamily involved in the
           regulation of electrolyte and fluid balance. The
           receptor is activated by mineralocorticoids such as
           aldosterone and deoxycorticosterone as well as
           glucocorticoids, like cortisol and cortisone. Binding of
           its ligand results in its translocation to the cell
           nucleus, homodimerization and binding to hormone
           response elements (HREs) present in the promoter of MR
           controlled genes. This results in the recruitment of the
           coactivators and the transcription of the activated
           genes. MR is expressed in many tissues and its
           activation results in the expression of proteins

           receptor, a member of the nuclear hormone receptor.  The
           ligand binding domain of the progesterone receptor (PR):
           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
           other members of the nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily
           of ligand-activated transcription factors, PR has a

           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

           This family of peptidase inhibitors is expressed from
           plasmodial protozoal species. Falstatin is found to be a
           potent reversible inhibitor of the P. falciparum
           cysteine proteases falcipain-2 and falcipain-3, as well
           as other parasite- and non-parasite-derived cysteine
           proteases, but is only a relatively weak inhibitor of
           the P. falciparum cysteine proteases falcipain-1 and
           dipeptidyl aminopeptidase 1. Thus, P. falciparum
           requires expression of falstatin to limit proteolysis by
           certain host or parasite cysteine proteases during
           erythrocyte invasion.

           domain in Escherichia coli cytosolic
           glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase UgpQ and similar
           proteins.  This subfamily corresponds to the
           glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase domain (GDPD)
           present in Escherichia coli cytosolic
           glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase (GP-GDE, EC
           3.1.4.46), UgpQ, and similar proteins. GP-GDE plays an
           essential role in the metabolic pathway of E. coli. It
           catalyzes the degradation of glycerophosphodiesters to
           produce sn-glycerol-3-phosphate (G3P) and the
           corresponding alcohols, which are major sources of
           carbon and phosphate. E. coli possesses two major G3P
           uptake systems: Glp and Ugp, which contain genes coding
           for two distinct GP-GDEs. UgpQ gene from the E. coli ugp
           operon codes for a cytosolic phosphodiesterase GlpQ,
           which is the prototype of this family. Various
           glycerophosphodiesters, such as glycerophosphocholine
           (GPC), glycerophosphoethanolanmine (GPE),
           glycerophosphoglycerol (GPG), glycerophosphoinositol
           (GPI), and glycerophosphoserine (GPS), can only be
           hydrolyzed by UgpQ during transport at the inner side of
           the cytoplasmic membrane to alcohols and G3P, which is a
           source of phosphate. In contrast to Ca2+-dependent
           periplasmic phosphodiesterase GlpQ, cytosolic
           phosphodiesterase UgpQ requires divalent cations, such
           as Mg2+, Co2+, or Mn2+, for its enzyme activity.
