The role of the AQP1 channel in mediating both water and ion fluxes raises interesting questions about whether the pathways are shared or structurally distinct.
Phytoestrogens are plant compounds that are structurally and functionally similar to estradiol and have the ability to selectively bind estrogen receptors (estrogen receptor β greater than estrogen receptor α; [ 25 ] ). Phytoestrogens have received increased investigative attention due to their potential protective effects against age-related diseases (e.g.
Initial results showed that CAR is an apparently constitutive transactivator able to activate gene expression in the absence of exogenously added ligands [ 8 9 ] . The first CAR ligands identified, androstanol and androstenol, are inverse agonists that block this constitutive transactivation [ 10 ] . More recently, it has been found that CAR mediates the characteristic response of a subset of drug metabolizing enzymes to a variety of structurally unrelated foreign compounds [ 11 ] . These xenobiotic activators are referred to as "phenobarbital (PB) - like," based on the prototypic effects of the anti-epileptic agent on drug metabolism [ 12 13 14 ] . The most potent activator of murine CAR is the high affinity agonist ligand TCPOBOP (1,4-bis [2-(3,5-dichloropyridyloxy)]benzene) [ 15 16 ] .
Structurally, CD5 belongs to the scavenger receptor family of proteins based on the homology of its three extracellular scavenger receptor cysteine-rich (SRCR) domains to other family members [ 7].
Polyketides are secondary metabolites (which give their producers a competitive advantage in their environment) produced mostly by bacteria and fungi and made by a complex and structurally diverse family of enzymes called polyketide synthases (see the primer by David Hopwood in this issue of PLoS Biology ). Among them are the anthracyclines, a group of anticancer drugs and antibacterials that includes tetracycline.
