“…Multiple lines of evidence suggest that the nuclear receptor A/B domains are flexible and can adopt distinct conformations through allostery initiated by DNA:DBD interactions (D. L. Bain, Franden, McManaman, Takimoto, & Horwitz, 2000; David L. Bain, Franden, McManaman, Takimoto, & Horwitz, 2001; Baskakov, et al, 1999; Brodie & McEwan, 2005; Connaghan-Jones, Heneghan, Miura, & Bain, 2007; Fernandez, Gahlot, Rodriguez, & Amburn, 2017; Kumar, Lee, Bolen, & Thompson, 2001; Kumar, et al, 2013; Lavery & McEwan, 2005; McEwan, Lavery, Fischer, & Watt, 2007; Reid, Kelly, Watt, Price, & McEwan, 2002; Simons, Edwards, & Kumar, 2014). A common observation is that the A/B domains in all nuclear receptors studied to date, the DNA-initiated allostery elicits a conformational change in the N-terminal A/B domain (Figure 5).…”
