| Abstract | Corepressors play an essential role in nuclear receptor-mediated transcriptional repression. In general, corepressors directly bind to nuclear receptors via CoRNR boxes (L/I-X-X-I/V-I) in the absence of ligand and appear to act as scaffolds to further recruit chromatin remodeling complexes to specific target genes. Here, we describe the identification of the multiple LIM domain protein Ajuba as a unique corepressor for a subset of nuclear hormone receptors. Ajuba contains functional nuclear-receptor interacting motifs and selectively interacts with retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and rexinoid receptor (RXRs) subtypes in a ligand-dependent manner. Simultaneous mutation of these motifs abolishes RAR binding and concomitantly leads to loss of repression on RARE reporter genes. P19 cells depleted of Ajuba are highly sensitized to all-trans retinoic acid (atRA)-induced transcription and differentiation. In the absence of atRA, Ajuba can be readily found at the RARE control elements of RAR endogenous target genes. Stimulation of cells with atRA results in the dissociation of Ajuba from these regions. Moreover, we observed that coexpression of the known Ajuba binding partner Prmt5 (protein arginine methyltransferase-5) inhibited the Ajuba/RAR interaction. The high-affinity Ajuba-RAR/RXR interaction site overlaps the region responsible for Ajuba/Prmt5 binding, and thus binding appears to be mutually exclusive, providing a potential mechanism for these observations. Identification of Ajuba as a unique corepressor for nuclear receptors sheds new light on mechanisms for nuclear receptor-mediated repression and provides a unique target for developing more effective therapeutics to modulate this important pathway. |

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.
