Activation of the rat liver glucocorticoid--receptor complex. 1977

J A Goidl, and M H Cake, and K P Dolan, and L G Parchman, and G Litwack

The rat liver glucorcorticoid receptor has been activated using three procedures: heat, gel filtration, and dilution. With time after heat activation the steroid--receptor complex loses its capacity to bind to DNA--cellulose, while receptor activated by Sephadex G-25 and by dilution maintains DNA--cellulose binding capacity. The rates of steroid dissociation from nonactivated and activated receptor and essentially identical. However, nonactivated receptor is capable of rebinding steroid, while activated receptor has a reduced capacity to rebind steroid. The results of the gel filtration and dilution studies suggest that a low-molecular-weight factor(s) exists in rat liver cytosol which is involved in the process of activation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries

D011965 Receptors, Glucocorticoid Cytoplasmic proteins that specifically bind glucocorticoids and mediate their cellular effects. The glucocorticoid receptor-glucocorticoid complex acts in the nucleus to induce transcription of DNA. Glucocorticoids were named for their actions on blood glucose concentration, but they have equally important effects on protein and fat metabolism. Cortisol is the most important example.

D011987 Receptors, Steroid Proteins found usually in the cytoplasm or nucleus that specifically bind steroid hormones and trigger changes influencing the behavior of cells. The steroid receptor-steroid hormone complex regulates the transcription of specific genes.

D002482 Cellulose A polysaccharide with glucose units linked as in CELLOBIOSE. It is the chief constituent of plant fibers, cotton being the purest natural form of the substance. As a raw material, it forms the basis for many derivatives used in chromatography, ion exchange materials, explosives manufacturing, and pharmaceutical preparations.

D003600 Cytosol Intracellular fluid from the cytoplasm after removal of ORGANELLES and other insoluble cytoplasmic components. Cytosols
D003907 Dexamethasone An anti-inflammatory 9-fluoro-glucocorticoid. Hexadecadrol,Decaject,Decaject-L.A.,Decameth,Decaspray,Dexasone,Dexpak,Hexadrol,Maxidex,Methylfluorprednisolone,Millicorten,Oradexon,Decaject L.A.
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
