The N-terminal region of human progesterone B-receptors: biophysical and biochemical comparison to A-receptors

Abstract

To understand the basis for functional differences between the two human progesterone receptors (PR), we have carried out a detailed biochemical and biophysical analysis of the N-terminal region of each isoform. Extending our previous work on the A-isoform (Bain, D. L, Franden, M. A., McManaman, J. L., Takimoto, G. S., and Horwitz, K. B. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 7313-7320), here we present studies on the N-terminal region of the B-isoform (NT-B) and compare its properties to its A-receptor counterpart (NT-A). As seen previously with NT-A, NT-B is quantitatively monomeric in solution, yet undergoes N-terminal-mediated assembly upon DNA binding. Limited proteolysis, microsequencing, and sedimentation analyses indicate that the B-isoform exists in a non-globular, extended conformation very similar to that of NT-A. Additionally, the 164 amino acids unique to the B-isoform (BUS) appear to be in a more extended conformation relative to sequences common to both receptors and do not exist as an independent structural domain. However, sedimentation studies of NT-A and NT-B show differences in the ensemble distribution of their conformational states. We hypothesize that isoform-specific functional differences are not due to structural ...Continue Reading
