From the The receptor for 9-cis-retinoic acid,
retinoid X receptor (RXR), forms heterodimers with several
nuclear receptors, including the receptor for
all-trans-retinoic acid, RAR. Previous studies have shown
that retinoic acid receptor can be activated in RAR/RXR heterodimers,
whereas RXR is believed to be a silent co-factor. In this report we
show that efficient growth arrest and differentiation of the human
monocytic cell line U-937 require activation of both RAR and RXR. Also,
we demonstrate that the allosteric inhibition of RXR is not obligatory
and that RXR can be activated in the RAR/RXR heterodimer in the
presence of RAR ligands. Remarkably, RXR inhibition by RAR can also be
relieved by an RAR antagonist. Moreover, the dose response of RXR
agonists differ between RXR homodimers and RAR/RXR heterodimers,
indicating that these complexes are pharmacologically distinct.
Finally, the AF2 activation domain of both subunits contribute to
activation even if only one of the receptors is associated with ligand.
Our data emphasize the importance of signaling through both subunits of
a heterodimer in the physiological response to retinoids and show that
the activity of RXR is dependent on both the identity and the ligand
binding state of its partner.
