We report that the thyroid hormone (T3) receptor binds to DNA recognition sequences that are variations of the palindromic motif 5''-TCAGGTCA .cntdot. TGACCT-GA-3'', resulting in transcriptional activation in vivo. This sequence is identical to the vitellogenin A2 estrogen response element except for the absence of 3 bp at the center of dyad symmetry, which we have termed a "gap". The T3 receptor binds to estrogen response elements with high affinity in vitro, as well as to variations of the same sequence containing gaps of 1-6 bp. The T3 receptor not only fails to activate transcription from estrogen response elements in vivo, but inhibits estrogen-dependent transactivation. We propose that the T3 receptor binds to estrogen response elements in a transcriptionally inactive form and competes for estrogen receptor binding, resulting in a net decrease in gene expression. These data reveal that only a subset of T3 receptor DNA-binding elements function as T3 response elements.
