Thyroid hormone binding to putative nuclear receptors in human mononuclear blood cells. 1982

G F Maberly, and C J Eastman, and H C Smith, and K Waite, and T J Wilke

Nuclear protein extracts from mononuclear cells in normal subjects, subjects with the clinical syndrome of thyroid hormone resistance and cultured B lymphocytes bound thyroxine (T4) Ka; 1 . 3-3 . 5 X 10(9) m-1) and triiodothyronine (T3) (Ka; 1 . 2-3 . 9 X 10(9) m-1) with similar affinities. When an extra wash step was introduced, the maximum specific binding of T4 and T3 was reduced by 75% and binding was abolished by three washes. These data suggest binding is to a serum protein contaminant present in the mononuclear cell preparation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS. Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell

D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.

D011988 Receptors, Thyroid Hormone Specific high affinity binding proteins for THYROID HORMONES in target cells. They are usually found in the nucleus and regulate DNA transcription. These receptors are activated by hormones that leads to transcription, cell differentiation, and growth suppression. Thyroid hormone receptors are encoded by two genes (GENES, ERBA): erbA-alpha and erbA-beta for alpha and beta thyroid hormone receptors, respectively.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
