The vitamin D receptor (VDR) is a
ligand-dependent transcription factor that heterodimerizes
with retinoid X receptor (RXR) and interacts with the basal
transcription machinery and transcriptional cofactors to regulate
target gene activity. The p160 coactivator GRIP1 and the distinct
coregulator Ski-interacting protein (SKIP)/NCoA-62 synergistically
enhance ligand-dependent VDR transcriptional activity. Both
coregulators bind directly to and form a ternary complex with VDR, with
GRIP1 contacting the activation function-2 (AF-2) domain and
SKIP/NCoA-62 interacting through an AF-2 independent interface. It was
previously reported that SKIP/NCoA-62 interaction with VDR was
independent of the heterodimerization interface (specifically, helices
H10/H11). In contrast, the present study defines specific residues
within a conserved and surface-exposed region of VDR helix H10 that are
required for interaction with SKIP/NCoA-62 and for full
ligand-dependent transactivation activity. SKIP/NCoA-62, the basal transcription factor TFIIB, and RXR all interacted with VDR
helix H10 mutants at reduced levels compared with wild type in the
absence of ligand and exhibited different degrees of increased interaction upon ligand addition. Thus, SKIP/NCoA-62 interacts with VDR
at a highly conserved region not previously associated with coregulator
binding to regulate transactivation by a molecular mechanism distinct
from that of p160 coactivators.
