| Abstract | The syndrome of resistance to thyroid hormone is characterized by elevated serum free thyroid hormones, failure to suppress pituitary thyrotropin secretion, and variable peripheral refractoriness to hormone action. Here we describe a novel leucine to valine mutation in codon 454 (L454V) of the thyroid hormone β receptor (TRβ) in this disorder, resulting in a mutant receptor with unusual functional properties. Although the mutant protein binds ligand comparably to wild-type receptor and forms homo- and heterodimers on direct repeat, everted repeat, or palindromic thyroid response elements, its ability to activate transcription via these elements is markedly impaired. The hydrophobic leucine residue lies within an amphipathic α-helix at the carboxyl terminus of TRβ and the position of the homologous residue in the crystal structure of TRα indicates that its side chain is solvent-exposed and might interact with other proteins. We find that two putative transcriptional mediators (RIP140 and SRC-1) exhibit hormone-dependent association with wild-type TR. In comparison, the interaction of this natural mutant (L454V) and artificial mutants (L454A, E457A) with RIP140 and SRC-1 is markedly reduced. Furthermore, coexpression of SRC-1 is able to restore the transcriptional activity of the L454V mutant receptor, indicating that the interaction of this residue with accessory proteins is critical for transcriptional activation. Finally, the occurrence of the L454V mutation in resistance to thyroid hormone, together with impaired negative regulation of the thyroid-stimulating hormone α promoter by this mutant, suggests that the amphipathic α-helix also mediates hormone-dependent transcriptional inhibition, perhaps via interaction with these or other accessory factors. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
