| Abstract | RXRβ is one of three subtypes of human retinoid X receptor (RXR), a transcription factor that belongs to the nuclear receptor superfamily. Its expression can be detected in almost all tissues. In contrast to other subtypes – RXRα and RXRγ – RXRβ has the longest and unique N-terminal sequence called the AB region, which harbors a ligand-independent activation function. In contrast to the functional properties of this sequence, the molecular properties of the AB region of human RXRβ (AB_hRXRB) have not yet been characterized. Here, we present a systematic biochemical and biophysical analysis of recombinant AB_hRXRB, along with in silico examinations, which demonstrate that AB_hRXRB exhibits properties of a coil-like intrinsically disordered region. AB_hRXRB possesses a flexible structure that is able to adopt a more ordered conformation under the influence of different environmental factors. Interestingly, AB_hRXRB promotes the formation of liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS), a phenomenon previously observed for the AB region of another human subtype of RXR – RXRγ (AB_hRXRG). Although both AB regions seem to be similar in terms of their ability to induce phase separation, they clearly differ in the sensitivity to factors driving and regulating LLPS. This distinct LLPS response to environmental factors driven by the unique amino acid compositions of AB_hRXRB and AB_hRXRG can be significant for the specific modulation of the transcriptional activation of target genes by different subtypes of RXR.

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.
