>gnl|CDD|143544 cd07170, NR_DBD_ERR, DNA-binding domain of estrogen related
receptors (ERR) is composed of two C4-type zinc
fingers. 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) superfamily of ligand-activated
transcription factors, ERR has 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).

>gnl|CDD|143530 cd07155, NR_DBD_ER_like, DNA-binding domain of estrogen receptor
(ER) and estrogen related receptors (ERR) is composed
of two C4-type zinc fingers. DNA-binding domains of
estrogen receptor (ER) and estrogen related receptors
(ERR) are composed of two C4-type zinc fingers. Each
zinc finger contains a group of four Cys residues which
co-ordinates a single zinc atom. ER and ERR interact
with the palindromic inverted repeat,
5'GGTCAnnnTGACC-3', upstream of the target gene and
modulate the rate of transcriptional initiation. ERR
and ER are closely related and share sequence
similarity, target genes, co-regulators and promoters.
While ER is activated by endogenous estrogen, ERR lacks
the ability to bind to estrogen. Estrogen receptor
mediates the biological effects of hormone estrogen by
the binding of the receptor dimer to estrogen response
element of target genes. However, ERRs seem to
interfere with the classic ER-mediated estrogen
responsive signaling by targeting the same set of
genes. ERRs and ERs exhibit the common modular
structure with other nuclear receptors. 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).

>gnl|CDD|143541 cd07167, NR_DBD_Lrh-1_like, The DNA-binding domain of Lrh-1 like
nuclear receptor family like is composed of two C4-type
zinc fingers. The DNA-binding domain of Lrh-1 like
nuclear receptor family like 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.
This domain interacts with specific DNA sites upstream
of the target gene and modulates the rate of
transcriptional 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).

>gnl|CDD|143512 cd06916, NR_DBD_like, DNA-binding domain of nuclear receptors is
composed of two C4-type zinc fingers. DNA-binding
domain of 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 a specific DNA site upstream of the
target gene and modulates the rate of transcriptional
initiation. Nuclear receptors form a superfamily of
ligand-activated transcription regulators, which
regulate various physiological functions, from
development, reproduction, to homeostasis and
metabolism in animals (metazoans). The family contains
not only receptors for known ligands but also orphan
receptors for which ligands do not exist or have not
been identified. NRs share a common structural
organization with a central well conserved DNA binding
domain (DBD), a variable N-terminal domain, a flexible
hinge and a C-terminal ligand binding domain (LBD).
Most nuclear receptors bind as homodimers or
heterodimers to their target sites, which consist of
two hexameric half-sites. Specificity is determined by
the half-site sequence, the relative orientation of the
half-sites and the number of spacer nucleotides between
the half-sites. However, a growing number of nuclear
receptors have been reported to bind to DNA as
monomers.

DHR4 orphan nuclear receptor is composed of two C4-type
zinc fingers. DNA-binding domain of ecdysone-induced
DHR4 orphan nuclear receptor is composed of two C4-type
zinc fingers. Each zinc finger contains a group of four
Cys residues which coordinates a single zinc atom. This
domain interacts with specific DNA sites upstream of
the target gene and modulates the rate of
transcriptional initiation. 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).

>gnl|CDD|143519 cd06961, NR_DBD_TR, DNA-binding domain of thyroid hormone
receptors (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
DNA binding domain (DBD), a variable N-terminal domain,
a flexible hinge and a C-terminal ligand binding domain
(LBD).

C4-type zinc fingers. Each zinc finger contains a group
of four Cys residues which coordinates a single zinc
atom. ER interacts with specific DNA sites upstream of
the target gene and modulates the rate of

transcription regulator that mediates the biological
effects of hormone estrogen. The binding of estrogen to
the receptor triggers the dimerization and the binding
of the receptor dimer to estrogen response element,
which is a palindromic inverted repeat:
5'GGTCAnnnTGACC-3', of target genes. Through ER,
estrogen regulates development, reproduction and
homeostasis. Like other members of the nuclear receptor

receptor, nerve growth factor-induced-B. DNA-binding
domain (DBD) of the orphan nuclear receptor, nerve
growth factor-induced-B (NGFI-B) 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. NGFI-B interacts with specific DNA sites upstream
of the target gene and modulates the rate of
transcriptional initiation. NGFI-B is a member of the
nuclear-steroid receptor superfamily. NGFI-B is
classified as an orphan receptor because no ligand has
yet been identified. 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 transcriptional initiation.
NGFI-B binds to the NGFI-B response element (NBRE)
5'-(A/T)AAAGGTCA as a monomer. Like other members of
the nuclear receptor (NR) superfamily of
ligand-activated transcription factors, NGFI-B 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).

factor 4 (HNF4) 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. HNF4
interacts with a DNA site, composed of two direct
repeats of AGTTCA with 1 bp spacer, which is upstream
of target genes and modulates the rate of
transcriptional initiation. 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

(PXR). VDR regulates calcium metabolism, cellular
proliferation and differentiation. PXR and CAR
function as sensors of toxic byproducts of cell
metabolism and of exogenous chemicals, to facilitate
their elimination. The DNA binding activity is
regulated by their corresponding ligands. VDR is
activated by Vitamin D; CAR and PXR respond to a
diverse array of chemically distinct ligands, including
many endogenous compounds and clinical drugs. Like

DNA-binding domain of retinoid X receptor (RXR) 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. RXR functions as a DNA
binding partner by forming heterodimers with other
nuclear receptors including CAR, FXR, LXR, PPAR, PXR,
RAR, TR, and VDR. All RXR heterodimers preferentially
bind response elements composed of direct repeats of
two AGGTCA sites with a 1-5 bp spacer. RXRs can play
different roles in these heterodimers. RXR 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.
Like other members of the nuclear receptor (NR)
superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors,
RXR 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).

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

prostate. It has been shown that human TR2 binds to a
wide spectrum of natural hormone response elements

cross-talk with other gene expression regulation
systems. The genes responding to TR2 or TR4 include
genes that are regulated by retinoic acid receptor,

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

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

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

>gnl|CDD|143535 cd07161, NR_DBD_EcR, DNA-binding domain of Ecdysone receptor
(ECR) family is composed of two C4-type zinc fingers.
DNA-binding domain of Ecdysone receptor (EcR) family 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. EcR interacts with
highly degenerate 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 ultraspiracle protein (USP), the
ortholog of the vertebrate retinoid X receptor (RXR).
The natural ligands of EcR are ecdysteroids, the
endogenous steroidal hormones found in invertebrates.
Like other members of the nuclear receptor (NR)
superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors,
EcRs 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).

>gnl|CDD|143520 cd06962, NR_DBD_FXR, DNA-binding domain of Farnesoid X receptor
(FXR) family is composed of two C4-type zinc fingers.
DNA-binding domain of Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) family
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. FXR interacts with
specific DNA sites upstream of the target gene and
modulates the rate of transcriptional initiation. FXR
is a member of the nuclear receptor family of ligand
activated transcription factors. Bile acids are
endogenous ligands for FXRs. Upon binding of a ligand,
FXR binds to FXR response element (FXRE), which is an
inverted repeat of TGACCT spaced by one nucleotide,
either as a monomer or as a heterodimer with retinoid X
receptor (RXR), to regulate the expression of various
genes involved in bile acid, lipid, and glucose
metabolism. Like other members of the nuclear receptor
(NR) superfamily of ligand-activated transcription
factors, FXR 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).

>gnl|CDD|143517 cd06959, NR_DBD_EcR_like, The DNA-binding domain of Ecdysone
receptor (EcR) like nuclear receptor family is composed
of two C4-type zinc fingers. The DNA-binding domain of
Ecdysone receptor (EcR) like nuclear receptor family 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. 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 (NR) superfamily of ligand-activated
transcription factors, EcR-like receptors 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).

>gnl|CDD|143534 cd07160, NR_DBD_LXR, DNA-binding domain of Liver X receptors
(LXRs) family is composed of two C4-type zinc fingers.
DNA-binding domain of Liver X receptors (LXRs) family
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. LXR interacts with
specific DNA sites upstream of the target gene and
modulates the rate of transcriptional initiation. LXR
operates as 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. The LXR/RXR
complex binds to a liver X receptor response element
(LXRE) in the promoter region of target genes. The
ideal LXRE sequence is a direct repeat-4 (DR-4) DNA
fragment consisting of two AGGTCA hexameric half-sites
separated by a 4-nucleotide spacer. LXR has typical NR
modular structure with a central well conserved DNA
binding domain (DBD), a variable N-terminal domain, a
flexible hinge and the ligand binding domain (LBD) at
the C-terminal.

lytic murein transglycosylases described by TIGR02282
and are likewise all proteobacterial, although that
family and this one form clearly distinct clades.
Several species have one member of each family. Many
members of this family (unlike the MltB family) contain
an additional C-terminal domain, a putative
peptidoglycan binding domain (pfam01471), not included
in region described by this model. Many sequences
appear to contain N-terminal lipoprotein attachment
sites, as does E. coli MltB in TIGR02282 [Cell
