Pure and functionally homogeneous recombinant retinoid X receptor.

Abstract

Mouse retinoid X receptor alpha (RXR alpha) lacking the amino-terminal region A/B (RXR alpha delta AB) has been purified to more than 98% purity and functional homogeneity from bacterial and baculovirus-based recombinant expression systems with yields of 2-8 mg/liter of culture. The purified protein is soluble, and fluorescence quenching analysis demonstrated that it binds its cognate ligand 9-cis-retinoic acid (9-cis-RA) stoichiometrically, and with high affinity. Compared with RXR delta AB expressed in COS-1 cells, bacterially and baculovirus-expressed proteins bind approximately 10 and 5 times less efficiently to direct repeat 1 (DR1) DNA elements, respectively, suggesting that animal cell-specific modification of RXR or interaction with other animal cell-specific factors may modulate DNA binding. 9-cis-RA did not stimulate DR1 binding of functional RXR delta AB expressed in Escherichia coli, Sf9 or COS-1 cells. The previously reported ligand effect that can be observed with in vitro made receptor may therefore be a consequence of a conformational stabilization of improperly folded in vitro synthesized protein.
