Glucocorticoid Receptor-mediated transactivation is hampered by Striatin-3, a novel interaction partner of the receptor
Abstract The transcriptional activity of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is co-determined by its ability to recruit a vast and varying number of cofactors. We here identify Striatin-3 (STRN3) as a novel interaction partner of GR that interferes with GR’s ligand-dependent transactivation capacity. R...

| Sumario: | Abstract The transcriptional activity of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is co-determined by its ability to recruit a vast and varying number of cofactors. We here identify Striatin-3 (STRN3) as a novel interaction partner of GR that interferes with GR’s ligand-dependent transactivation capacity. Remarkably, STRN3 selectively affects only GR-dependent transactivation and leaves GR-dependent transrepression mechanisms unhampered. We found that STRN3 down-regulates GR transactivation by an additional recruitment of the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PPP2CA) to GR. We hypothesize the existence of a functional trimeric complex in the nucleus, able to dephosphorylate GR at serine 211, a known marker for GR transactivation in a target gene-dependent manner. The presence of STRN3 appears an absolute prerequisite for PPP2CA to engage in a complex with GR. Herein, the C-terminal domain of GR is essential, reflecting ligand-dependency, yet other receptor parts are also needed to create additional contacts with STRN3. |
