Abstract
Disclosed is an analysis of domains of receptors of the steroid/thyroid hormone superfamily, and particularly of the glucocorticoid receptor, to identify requirements for the trans-acting transcriptional repression activities of the receptors. Based on the analysis, certain novel receptor analogs are provided, as are various novel DNAs, expression vectors, cells and transgenic animals as well as novel methods of using trans-acting transcription-repressing analogs of the receptors in various applications. These applications include gene therapy, screening of cells in culture or transgenic animals for compositions effective to treat various diseases due to inability to properly respond to hormones of the steroid or thyroid hormone group, and screening of cells in culture for ligands that are capable, upon binding to one of the receptors, to activate its trans-acting transcription activating and trans-acting transcription-repressing activities.
