| Research Abstract |
Thyroid hormone exerts a pleiotropic effect on development and homeostasis. A novel thyroid hormone receptor β isoform (hereafter referred to as TRβ4) was cloned using PCR from a human pituitary cDNA library as a template. Analysis of the PCR products revealed a 137-bp insertion, which contains a stop codon in the middle, between the 5^<th> and 6^<th> exons that encode the ligand-binding domain of TRβ. The corresponding sequence of this insertion exists within the 5^<th> intron of the human TRβ gene and consensus splice sequences were found at the junction sites. RACE analysis revealed that TRβ4 is a carboxyl-terminal splicing variant of TRβ1. RT-PCR and. Northern blot analyses indicate that TRβ4 mRNA is expressed in various human tissues, and especially abundant in skeletal muscle. The TRβ4 protein was unable to bind thyroid hormone (T3) and transient transfection assays demonstrate that TRβ4 construct does not mediate regulation of either positively or negatively regulated reporter genes. Furthermore, TRβ4 interacts minimally with RXR and co-repressor proteins. TRβ4 inhibited transcription mediated by functional TRs when co-transfected with TRβ1, TRβ2 or TRα1. This dominant negative activity of TRβ4 was comparable to TRα2, but not as potent as mutant TRs that are found in the patients with resistance to thyroid hormone (RTH). Thus, this novel isoform may modulate T3 action as an endogenous antagonist in the tissue or cellular context.
