Structural highlightsDiseaseGCR_HUMAN Defects in NR3C1 are a cause of glucocorticoid resistance (GCRES) [MIM:138040; also known as cortisol resistance. It is a hypertensive, hyperandrogenic disorder characterized by increased serum cortisol concentrations. Inheritance is autosomal dominant.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
FunctionGCR_HUMAN Receptor for glucocorticoids (GC). Has a dual mode of action: as a transcription factor that binds to glucocorticoid response elements (GRE), both for nuclear and mitochondrial DNA, and as a modulator of other transcription factors. Affects inflammatory responses, cellular proliferation and differentiation in target tissues. Could act as a coactivator for STAT5-dependent transcription upon growth hormone (GH) stimulation and could reveal an essential role of hepatic GR in the control of body growth. Involved in chromatin remodeling. Plays a significant role in transactivation.[6]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
The amino-pyrazole 2,6-dichloro-N-ethyl benzamide 1 is a selective GR agonist with dexamethasone-like in vitro potency. Its X-ray crystal structure in the GR LBD (Glucocorticoid ligand-binding domain) is described and compared to other reported structures of steroidal GR agonists in the GR LBD (3E7C).
The first X-ray crystal structure of the glucocorticoid receptor bound to a non-steroidal agonist.,Madauss KP, Bledsoe RK, Mclay I, Stewart EL, Uings IJ, Weingarten G, Williams SP Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2008 Dec 1;18(23):6097-9. Epub 2008 Oct 8. PMID:18952422[7]
