Example sentences for: nrs

How can you use “nrs” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • 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 nuclear receptor (NR) family comprises 48 structurally related transcription factors, many of which require their cognate ligand for activity [ 1 2 3 ] . The NRs regulate transcription by binding to response elements in the promoters of target genes and acting as scaffolds for the assembly of large coactivator and corepressor complexes [ 4 ] . NR coactivators include the p160s (including GRIP1/TIF-2, SRC-1 and AIB1/ACTR/pCIP).

  • Next, we examined whether the β-box would bind other NRs.

  • 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.

  • Unliganded NRs usually bind ID motifs (consensus L/IXXIIXXXL) in the N-CoR C-terminus.
