While there is evidence that the two ubiquitously
expressed thyroid hormone (T3) receptors, TR 1 and TR 1, have
distinct functional specificities, the mechanism by which they
discriminate potential target genes remains largely unexplained. In
this study, we demonstrate that the thyroid hormone response elements
(TRE) from the malic enzyme and myelin basic protein genes
(METRE and MBPTRE) respectively, are not
functionally equivalent. The METRE, which is a direct repeat motif with a 4-base pair gap between the two half-site hexamers
binds thyroid hormone receptor as a heterodimer with 9-cis-retinoic acid receptor (RXR) and mediates a high
T3-dependent activation in response to TR 1 or TR 1 in
NIH3T3 cells. In contrast, the MBPTRE, which consists of an
inverted palindrome formed by two hexamers spaced by 6 base pairs,
confers an efficient transactivation by TR 1 but a poor
transactivation by TR 1. While both receptors form heterodimers with
RXR on MBPTRE, the poor transactivation by TR 1
correlates also with its ability to bind efficiently as a monomer. This
monomer, which is only observed with TR 1 bound to
MBPTRE, interacts neither with N-CoR nor with SRC-1,
explaining its functional inefficacy. However, in Xenopus
oocytes, in which RXR proteins are not detectable, the transactivation
mediated by TR 1 and TR 1 is equivalent and independent of a RXR
supply, raising the question of the identity of the thyroid hormone
receptor partner in these cells. Thus, in mammalian cells, the binding characteristics of TR 1 to MBPTRE (i.e. high
monomer binding efficiency and low transactivation activity) might
explain the particular pattern of T3 responsiveness of MBP gene
expression during central nervous system development.
