Structural highlights
DiseaseMCR_HUMAN Defects in NR3C2 are a cause of pseudohypoaldosteronism 1, autosomal dominant (PHA1A) [MIM:177735. A salt wasting disease resulting from target organ unresponsiveness to mineralocorticoids. PHA1A is a mild form characterized by target organ defects confined to kidney. Patients may present with neonatal renal salt wasting with hyperkalaemic acidosis despite high aldosterone levels. These patients improve with age and usually become asymptomatic without treatment.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Defects in NR3C2 are a cause of early-onset hypertension with severe exacerbation in pregnancy (EOHSEP) [MIM:605115. Inheritance is autosomal dominant. The disease is characterized by the onset of severe hypertension before the age of 20, and by suppression of aldosterone secretion.[6] [7] [8] [9] FunctionMCR_HUMAN Receptor for both mineralocorticoids (MC) such as aldosterone and glucocorticoids (GC) such as corticosterone or cortisol. Binds to mineralocorticoid response elements (MRE) and transactivates target genes. The effect of MC is to increase ion and water transport and thus raise extracellular fluid volume and blood pressure and lower potassium levels.[10] Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe S810L mutation within the human mineralocorticoid receptor (MR S810L) induces severe hypertension and switches progesterone from antagonist to agonist. Here we report the crystal structures of the ligand-binding domain of MR S810L in complex with progesterone and deoxycorticosterone, an agonist of both wild-type and mutant MRs. These structures, the first for MR, identify the specific contacts created by Leu810 and clarify the mechanism of activation of MR S810L.
