TL;DR
The receptor binding region is delimited to a DNA segment of 152 base pairs that has been shown to be relevant for hormonal induction and partially homologous receptor binding sequences located in this region are identified.
Abstract
Glucocorticoids are known to induce the transcription of integrated proviral mouse mammary tumour virus (MMTV) genes in a variety of cell lines derived from mouse mammary tumours. Chimaeric genes in which selectable markers are linked to the long terminal repeat (LTR) region of MMTV can be induced by the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone after introduction into mouse fibroblasts. This suggests that the regulatory elements required for hormonal induction are located within the cloned LTR fragments. The idea is supported by the observation that glucocorticoid receptors bind to certain cloned fragments of MMTV DNA in vitro. Using filter binding studies and monoclonal antibodies to the glucocorticoid receptor we have now delimited the receptor binding region to a DNA segment of 152 base pairs (bp) that has been shown to be relevant for hormonal induction. In nuclease protection experiments we have identified partially homologous receptor binding sequences located in this region, all of which share the hexanucleotide 5'-TGTTCT-3'.

Activated glucocorticoid receptor protein, purified to 40-60% homogeneity from rat liver extracts, binds selectively in vitro to a cloned fragment of murine mammary tumor virus (MTV) DNA, consistent with the notion that steroid receptors may modulate rates of transcription by recognizing specific DNA sequences within or near the regulated genes.

Observations support the proposal that molybdate and tungstate are interacting through a reversible association with the glucocorticoid receptor itself, and it is proposed that they may act by forming a complex with a phosphate moiety on the receptor.
