The long-range side-chain repulsion between the (1R,2R,3R,5R)-2-amino-6,6-dimethyl-bicyclo[3.1.1]-heptane-3-carboxylic acid (trans-ABHC) residues stabilize the H12 helix in beta-peptide oligomers.

Article Synopsis
- - Atypical acute promyelocytic leukemia (aAPL) showcases a variety of complex retinoic acid receptor (RAR) fusion genes, including 31 rare RARA and RARG fusions, which differ from the well-known PML::RARA fusion.
- - Some experimental bipartite X::RAR fusions show positive responses to all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), unlike patients with ATRA resistance, prompting a deeper investigation into molecular mechanisms.
- - The study identified novel tripartite fusion forms and significant differences in 3' splice patterns between RARA and RARG cases, suggesting transposable element involvement and highlighting the critical role of truncations in the ligand-binding domain that contribute to A

Nuclear receptors regulate transcriptional programs in response to the binding of natural and synthetic ligands. These ligands modulate the receptor by inducing dynamic changes in the ligand binding domain that shift the C-terminal helix (H12) between active and inactive conformations. Despite decades of study, many questions persist regarding the nature of the inactive state and how ligands shift receptors between different states.

Over the past few decades, extensive research has indicated that exposure to bisphenol A (BPA) increases the health risks in humans. Toxicological studies have demonstrated that BPA can bind to the androgen receptor (AR), resulting in endocrine-disrupting effects. In recent investigations, many alternatives to BPA have been detected in various environmental media as major pollutants.

Physiologic activation of estrogen receptor α (ERα) is mediated by estradiol (E2) binding in the ligand-binding pocket of the receptor, repositioning helix 12 (H12) to facilitate binding of coactivator proteins in the unoccupied coactivator binding groove. In breast cancer, activation of ERα is often observed through point mutations that lead to the same H12 repositioning in the absence of E2. Through expanded genetic sequencing of breast cancer patients, we identified a collection of mutations located far from H12 but nonetheless capable of promoting E2-independent transcription and breast cancer cell growth.

Inverse agonists of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ (PPARγ) have emerged as safer alternatives to full agonists for their reduced side effects while still maintaining impressive insulin-sensitizing properties. To shed light on their molecular mechanism, we characterized the interaction of the PPARγ ligand binding domain with SR10221. X-ray crystallography revealed a novel binding mode of SR10221 in the presence of a transcriptionally repressing corepressor peptide, resulting in much greater destabilization of the activation helix, H12, than without corepressor peptide.
