The nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR) binds the 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3(1,25(OH)2D3) hormone with high affinity and elicits its actions to stimulate gene expression in target cells by binding to the vitamin D-responsive element (VDRE). VDREs in such positively controlled genes as osteocalcin, osteopontin, β3integrin and vitamin D-24-OHase are direct hexanucleotide repeats with a spacer of three nucleotides. The present studies of VDR VDRE interaction utilized full-length human vitamin D receptor (hVDR) that was overexpressed in E. coli, purified to near homogeneity (> 95%), and its authenticity confirmed by demonstrating high affinity hormone binding and reactivity to monoclonal antibody 9A7γ. The expressed hVDR displays strict dependence on the family of retinoid X receptors (RXRs) for binding to the vitamin D-responsive element (VDRE) in the rat osteocalcin gene. Similar overexpression in E. coli of the DNA binding domain (Δ134), containing only residues 4–133 of hVDR, generated a receptor species that possesses intrinsic DNA binding activity. Both full-length and Δ134 hVDRs retain similar DNA binding specificities when tested with several natural hormone responsive elements, indicating that the N-terminal zinc finger region determines hVDR-DNA sequence selectivity. The C-terminal region of the molecule is required for hormone binding and confers the receptor with the property of very high affinity DNA binding, via heterodimerization between hVDR and RXR. A natural ligand for the RXR co-receptor, 9-cis retinoic acid, suppresses both VDR-RXR binding to the VDRE and 1,25(OH)2D3stimulated transcription, indicating that 9-cis retinoic acid recruits RXR away from VDR to instead form RXR homodimers.
