ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the present invention, there are provided expression systems for the production of function glucocorticoid receptor proteins, methods for the recombinant production of glucocorticoid receptor proteins as well as sequences encoding novel members of the steroid/thyroid hormone superfamily of receptors (e.g., glucocorticoid receptor). Invention expression systems comprise host cells containing DNA encoding functional glucocorticoid receptor proteins, wherein the DNA is operably linked to control sequences compatible with host cells, thereby enabling the expression of functional receptor proteins. The invention method is carried out by culturing such recombinant host cells, and recovering the functional glucocorticoid receptor proteins produced thereby. In accordance with the present invention, there are also provided substantially pure DNA's comprised of sequences which encode members of the steroid/thyroid hormone receptor superfamily having the hormone-binding and/or transcription-activating characteristics of a glucocorticoid receptor. The invention also provides various plasmids containing receptor sequences which exemplify the DNA's of the invention. The invention further provides receptor proteins, including modified functional forms thereof, expressed from the DNA's (or mRNA's) of the invention.
