REDUCED STEROID ACTIVATION OF ELEPHANT SHARK GR AND MR AFTER INSERTING FOUR AMINO ACIDS FROM THE DNA-BINDING DOMAIN OF LAMPREY CORTICOID RECEPTOR-1

Reduced steroid activation of elephant shark GR and MR after inserting four amino acids from the DNA-binding domain of lamprey corticoid receptor-1

Atlantic sea lamprey contains two corticoid receptors (CRs), CR1 and CR2, that have identical amino acid sequences, except for a four amino acid insert (Thr-Arg-Gln-Gly) in the CR1 DNA-binding domain (DBD).Steroids are stronger transcriptional activators of CR2 than of CR1 suggesting that the insert reduces the transcriptional response of lamprey C
