Example sentences for: lbd
How can you use “lbd” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The unliganded LBD recognizes hydrophobic motifs, termed interaction domains (IDs), which are reiterated three times in N-CoR and twice in SMRT and conform to the consensus L/IXXIIXXXL [ 4 ] (see also [ 16 ] ). By contrast, the liganded LBD binds shorter hydrophobic motifs termed NR boxes that are reiterated several times within each coactivator and conform to the consensus LXXLL.
Although the poorly conserved NTD region clearly plays an important role in isoform-specificity [ 32 33 ] , it is also likely that there are differences in the better conserved LBD region that contribute to differential ERα and ERβ activities.
8Bshows that the isolated ERα LBD exhibited more potent transcriptional activity than the ERβ LBD.
NRs consist of three domains, the N-terminal domain (which contains a context-specific activation function AF-1), the central DNA binding domain (DBD) and the C-terminal ligand binding domain (LBD), which contains a hormone-dependent activation function, AF-2.
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.
