NatureHuman oestrogen receptor cDNA: sequence, expression and homology to v-erb-A
2,320 Citations1986Stephen Green, Philippe Walter +5 more
Cloned and sequenced the complete complementary DNA of the oestrogen receptor (ER) present in the breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and found extensive homology between the ER and the erb-A protein of the oncogenic avian erythroblastosis virus.
NatureA human retinoic acid receptor which belongs to the family of nuclear receptors
2,236 Citations1987Martin Petkovich, Nigel J. Brand +2 more
The protein is homologous to the receptors for steroid hormones, thyroid hormones and vitamin D3, and appears to be a retinoic acid-inducible {Tans-acting enhancer factor, suggesting that the molecular mechanisms of the effect of vitamin A (vitamin A) on embryonic development, differentiation and tumour cell growth are similar to those described for other members of this nuclear receptor family.
NatureIdentification of a receptor for the morphogen retinoic acid
1,998 Citations1987Vincent Giguère, Estelita S. Ong +2 more
Analysis of complementary DNA encoding a novel gene product reveals striking similarity to the steroid and thyroid hormone receptors and Binding and transcription activational studies show it to be a receptor for the vitamin A-related morphogen retinoic acid.
Journal of Molecular EvolutionProgressive sequence alignment as a prerequisitetto correct phylogenetic trees
1,904 Citations1987Da-Fei Feng, Russell F. Doolittle
A progressive alignment method that utilizes the Needleman and Wunsch pairwise alignment algorithm iteratively to achieve the multiple alignment of a set of protein sequences and to construct an evolutionary tree depicting their relationship is described.

Information is provided on how to identify the Steroid Receptors, Receptor Binding Sites, and other mechanisms that aid in the identification of the receptors and their locations in the genome.
NaturePrimary structure and expression of a functional human glucocorticoid receptor cDNA
1,867 Citations1985Stanley M. Hollenberg, Cary Weinberger +7 more
Identification of complementary DNAs encoding the human glucocorticoid receptor predicts two protein forms, of 777 (α) and 742 (β) amino acids, which differ at their carboxy termini, which may define the DNA-binding domain.
NatureNuclear receptor that identifies a novel retinoic acid response pathway
1,514 Citations1990David J. Mangelsdorf, Estelita S. Ong +2 more
By indicating the existence of an additional pathway through which retinoic acid may exert its effects, these data lead to a re-evaluation of retinoid physiology.
NatureThe c-erb-A gene encodes a thyroid hormone receptor
1,497 Citations1986Cary Weinberger, Catherine C. Thompson +4 more
The cDNA sequence of human c-erb-A indicates that the protein encoded by the gene is related to the steroid hormone receptors, and binding studies show it to be a receptor for thyroid hormones.
NatureThe c-erb-A protein is a high-affinity receptor for thyroid hormone
1,341 Citations1986Jan Sap, Alberto Múñoz +6 more
Hormone binding and localization of the c-erb-A protein suggest that it is a receptor for thyroid hormone, a nuclear protein that binds to DNA and activates transcription.
CellSREBP-1, a membrane-bound transcription factor released by sterol-regulated proteolysis

The FASEB JournalZinc fingers
521 Citations1995Aaron Klug, John W. R. Schwabe
The term zinc finger was first used to describe a 30‐residue, repeated sequence motif found in an unusually abundant Xenopus transcription factor and it was proposed that each motif is folded around a central zinc ion to form an independent minidomain and that adjacent zinc fingers are combined as modules to make up a DNA‐binding domain with the modules “gripping” the DNA.

155 Citations1993Hendrik G. Stunnenberg
Type II receptors transactivate through binding sites composed of closely related half‐sites arranged as direct repeats and, with the possible exception of RXR, do not bind to their cognate binding sites as homodimers but require RXR for high affinity binding.
