... function of AR.NTD. Alternativeexplanations might be induction of a more favorableNTD conformation or stabilization of the in vivo N/Cinteraction, which are not reflected in the pull-down assaysand ... Together with coactivators, generaltranscription factors and RNA polymerase II, they form astable transcription initiation complex [1–4].Upon ligand binding, the LBD acquires a conformationthat ... coactivators and enables the binding of corepressors[3,5].P160 coactivators not only bind to the LBD, but also to the NTD [6,7]. This interaction is independent of the NRboxes. As shown for the...
