Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The constitutive active/androstane receptor (CAR) controls genes involved in xenochemical metabolism. Although numerous cofactors have been reported to be involved in CAR-mediated transactivation, unknown and poorly defined proteins recruited by CAR have yet to be characterized. In this study, a novel CAR-interacting proteins, cell cycle and apoptosis regulator 1 (CCAR1) and Tripartite Motif Containing 24(TRIM24), were identified as novel CAR binding proteins. Furthermore, knock down of these cofactors are showed different effect of CAR-induced transactivation. These findings demonstrated CCAR1 and TRIM24 to be novel transcriptional cofactors for CAR and provided insight regarding the mechanism of CAR-mediated gene-selective transactivation.
