Thyroid hormone (T3)
coordinates growth, differentiation, and metabolism by binding to
nuclear thyroid hormone receptors (TRs). The TR gene encodes
T3-activated TR 1 (NR1A1a) as well as an antagonistic,
non-T3-binding alternatively spliced product, TR 2 (NR1A1b). Thus, the TR 1/TR 2 ratio is a critical determinant of
T3 action. However, the mechanisms underlying this
post-transcriptional regulation are unknown. We have identified a
non-consensus, TR 2-specific 5' splice site and conserved intronic
sequences as key determinants of TR mRNA processing. In addition
to these cis-acting elements, a novel regulatory feature is
the orphan receptor RevErbA (NR1D1) gene, which is transcribed from
the opposite direction at the same locus and overlaps the TR 2 coding
region. RevErbA gene expression correlates with a high TR 1/TR 2
ratio in a number of tissues. Here we demonstrate that coexpression of
RevErbA and TR regulates the TR 1/TR 2 ratio in intact cells.
Thus, both cis- and trans-regulatory mechanisms
contribute to cell-specific post-transcriptional regulation of TR gene
expression and T3 action.
