✦ Synopsis
In the past year, additional experimental data have expanded our understanding of the molecular mechanisms that underlie nuclear receptor control of regulatory programs. It is increasingly clear that steroid members (e.g. glucocorticoid and estrogen) and non-steroid members (e.g. retinoic acid, thyroid hormone, and vitamin D) of the nuclear receptor superfamily may utilize distinct strategies in achieving their complex control of gene regulation.

Nuclear receptors regulate transcription in direct response to their cognate hormonal ligands. Ligand binding leads to the dissociation of corepressors and the recruitment of coactivators. Many of these factors, acting in large complexes, have emerged as chromatin remodelers through intrinsic histon
During the past few years, our understanding of nuclear receptor action has dramatically improved as a result of the identification and functional analysis of co-regulators such as factors involved in chromatin remodeling, transcription intermediary factors (co-repressors and co-activators), and dir
