The dose-response curve of steroid hormones and
the associated EC50 value are critical parameters
both in the development of new pharmacologically active compounds and
in the endocrine therapy of various disease states. We have recently
described three different variables that can reposition the
dose-response curve of agonist-bound glucocorticoid receptors (GRs): a
21-base pair sequence of the rat tyrosine aminotransferase gene called a glucocorticoid modulatory element (GME), GR concentration, and coactivator concentration. At the same time, each of these three components was found to influence the partial agonist activity of
antiglucocorticoids. In an effort to determine whether these three
processes proceed via independent pathways or a common intermediate, we
have examined several mechanistic details. The effects of increasing concentrations of both GR and the coactivator TIF2 are found to be
saturable. Furthermore, saturating levels of either GR or TIF2 inhibit
the ability of each protein, and the GME, to affect further changes in
the dose-response curve or partial agonist activity of antisteroids.
This competitive inhibition suggests that all three modulators proceed
through a common step involving a titratable factor. Support for this
hypothesis comes from the observation that a fragment of the
coactivator TIF2 retaining intrinsic transactivation activity is a
dominant negative inhibitor of each component (GME, GR, and
coactivator). This inhibition was not due to nonspecific effects on the
general transcription machinery as the VP16 transactivation domain was
inactive. The viral protein E1A also prevented the action of each of
the three components in a manner that was independent of E1A's ability
to block the histone acetyltransferase activity of CBP. Collectively,
these results suggest that three different inputs (GME, GR, and
coactivator) for perturbing the dose-response curve, and partial
agonist activity, of GR-steroid complexes act by converging at a single
step that involves a limiting factor prior to transcription initiation.
