Nuclear hormone receptor coregulator GRIP1 suppresses, whereas SRC1A and p/CIP coactivate, by domain-specific binding of MyoD

Abstract

p160 coregulators were initially identified as nuclear hormone receptor coactivators. In this study, functional data demonstrate that members of the three p160 families can have opposing roles in regulating gene expression by the same transcription factor. Both SRC1A and p/CIP function as coactivators for MyoD-mediated transcription whereas GRIP1 acts negatively as a (co)repressor. SRC1A and p/CIP predominantly interact with distinct sites on the NH2-terminal activation domain of MyoD. GRIP1 binds to both these regions but it alone, and neither SRC1A nor p/CIP, also interacts with specific sites on MyoD that are critical for the binding of the essential MyoD coactivator, p300. This suggests that competition by GRIP1 for SRC1A, p/CIP, and p300 binding sites on a transcription factor may regulate the activity of the factor.
