Hormone Receptor Binding Sites

Both ECDl and ECD2 Use the Same Resides to Bind to the Hormone 

The surfaces of the receptors that bind to the topographically different Sitel and Site2 binding sites on the hormones are formed by six closely spaced surface loops (L1-L6) that extend from the /3-sheet core in a manner somewhat similar to antigen binding loops in antibodies. Three loops reside in the N-terminal domain (L1-L3) two others in the G-terminal domain (L5-L6). Binding loop L4 serves as the five residue 

Hormone Binding Sitel, the High-Affinity Site 

Binding of ECD2 Involves Two Spatially Distinct Sites 

The binding of ECD2 to the 1 1 hGH ECDl intermediate complex is the regulatory step in the activation mechanism and involves a set of extensive interactions with both the hormone Site2 and the G-terminal portion of

However, the levels of Gsa, Gia-1, Gia-2, Gia-3, Goa, and Gp were also shown to be unaltered in myocardium from SHRs, and adenylyl cyclase activity stimulated by PGEi, glucagon, and isoproterenol was reduced in SHRs, whereas FSK-stimulated enzyme activity was greater in SHRs as compared to WKY (McLellan et al. 1993). On the other hand, a diminished stimulation of adenylyl cyclase by stimulatory hormones, guanine nucleotides, FSK, and NaF in aorta and heart sarcolemma from SHRs (Anand-Srivastava 1992), renal hypertensive rats (Anand-Srivastava 1988) 1K1C HRs (Ge et al. 1999, 2006), and DOCA-salt HRs (Anand-Srivastava et al. 1993) has been demonstrated The reduction in the hormone receptor binding sites may be one of the possible mechanisms responsible for such an impaired response of hormones (Limas and Limas 1978 Woodcock et al. 

While animal HREs may take the form of composite elements, they may also consist of simple elements (i.e., simple HREs) with direct, inverted, or everted repeats of steroid hormone receptor binding sites [225]. With simple HREs, nucleotide composition, orientation, and spacing between the DNA binding sites determine which steroid hormone receptor recognizes and prefers to bind to a given HRE. Recent evidence indicates that, like simple HREs, simple AuxREs can be created by constructing direct and palindromic repeats of the TGTCTC element. 

The active site may sometimes be far from the receptor binding site and sometimes in a separate subunit. The receptor can be viewed as an allosteric effector which binds at a distant site or as a ligand for a regulatory subunit of the enzyme complex. Alternatively, the active site may be viewed as the site for relaying a signal received from the hormone or other agonist. 

A consequence of the asymmetric nature of the hormone s binding sites is that the sites have very different inherent affinities for the receptor. The...

Thyroid hormone receptors bind their sites on the promoter regions of DNA in the absence of bonnd hormone, usually resulting in transcriptional repression. 

Such structural models, however are hardly compatible with a lateral penetration of peptide ligands as required in a membrane-bound pathway c . he hormone/receptor recognition and binding process. Experimental evidences for such mechanism are difficult to produce, since in the partition equilibrium of hormones between the water and the lipid phase occupation of the receptor from the extracellular phase cannot be excluded. However, with an escape of the peptide ligands into the water phase and subsequent direct collision with the receptor binding site all the thermodynamic and conformational advantages of an accumulation at the membrane surface would be lost.

Pulmonary endotheUal cells are important in the regulation of circulating hormones (Ryan 1982), and consequently it is not surprising that certain xenobiotics, which have physicochemical properties similar to those of the endogenous substrates, also serve as substrates or ligands for the specialised enzymes, receptors, binding sites, and transport mechanisms localised on or in endothelial cells.
