| Abstract | Analyzing the pathways by which retinoic acid (RA) induces promyelocytic leukemia/retinoic acid receptor α (PML/RARα) catabolism in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL), we found that, in addition to caspase-mediated PML/RARα cleavage, RA triggers degradation of both PML/RARα and RARα. Similarly, in non-APL cells, RA directly targeted RARα and RARα fusions to the proteasome degradation pathway. Activation of either RARα or RXRα by specific agonists induced degradation of both proteins. Conversely, a mutation in RARα that abolishes heterodimer formation and DNA binding, blocked both RARα and RXRα degradation. Mutations in the RARα DNA-binding domain or AF-2 transcriptional activation region also impaired RARα catabolism. Hence, our results link transcriptional activation to receptor catabolism and suggest that transcriptional up-regulation of nuclear receptors by their ligands may be a feedback mechanism allowing sustained target-gene activation. |
