In the case of the RARγ2, degradation requires a constitutive phosphorylation of the AF-1 domain, heterodimerisation with RXR, and the presence of ligand indicating that the receptor has to be transcriptionally active to be degraded [ 42].
The LBD utilizes a large hydrophobic cleft composed of residues along H3 and H5 to bind IDs [ 17 ] , and a smaller hydrophobic cleft that is composed of residues in the upper part of H3 and H5 and H12 (and corresponds to AF-2) to bind NR boxes [ 18 ] . Thus, agonists promote coregulator exchange by promoting the packing of H12 over the lower part of the ID binding region, an event that simultaneously completes the coactivator binding surface.
The fact that the mode of ERβ interaction with N-CoR resembles that of NRs with coactivators [ 4 ] , or with corepressors that modulate the activity of liganded NR complexes, such as RIP140 [ 10 ] , raises the possibility that ERβ may be able to recruit N-CoR and SMRT to estrogen-regulated promoters in response to agonists and that the balance of overall ERβ activity in the presence of estrogens may be regulated by competition between p160s and corepressors for the same ERβ AF-2 surface.
AF-2 Activation function 2
Together, our results indicate that ERβ has the potential to utilize its AF-2 surface to bind NR boxes within coactivators or an NR box-like sequence in the C-terminus of N-CoR.
