Physiological and molecular basis of thyroid hormone action.

TL;DR: This review presents the major advances in knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of TH action and their implications for TH action in specific tissues, resistance to thyroid hormone syndrome, and genetically engineered mouse models.

Neuronal Subtype-Specific Genes that Control Corticospinal Motor Neuron Development In Vivo

TL;DR: Loss-of-function experiments in null mutant mice for Ctip2 (also known as Bcl11b), one of the newly characterized genes, demonstrate that it plays a critical role in the development of CSMN axonal projections to the spinal cord in vivo, confirming that the central genetic determinants of the CSMN population are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms of thyroid hormone action

TL;DR: The mechanism of thyroid hormone action and the role of local ligand availability; tissue and cell-specific thyroid hormone transporters, corepressors, and coactivators; thyroid hormone receptor (TR) isoform-specific action; and cross-talk in metabolic regulation and neural development are influenced.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cellular and Molecular Basis of Deiodinase-Regulated Thyroid Hormone Signaling

TL;DR: It seems clear that deiodinases play a much broader role than once thought, with great ramifications for the control of thyroid hormone signaling during vertebrate development and metamorphosis, as well as injury response, tissue repair, hypothalamic function, and energy homeostasis in adults.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thyroid hormones in growth and development of fish

TL;DR: The thyroid hormone receptors (TR) have been isolated from several teleosts and in common with tetrapods two receptor isoforms have been identified, TR alpha and TR beta, and both the receptors are expressed in early embryos and larvae of the Japanese flounder, zebrafish and seabream although a different temporal pattern is apparent.

Cell Migration: A Physically Integrated Molecular Process

TL;DR: The authors are grateful for financial support from the National Institutes of Health (grants GM23244 and GM53905), and to very helpful comments on the manuscript from Elliot Elson, Vlodya Gelfand, Paul Matsudaira, Julie Theriot, and Sally Zigmond.

Sequence and Characterization of a Coactivator for the Steroid Hormone Receptor Superfamily

TL;DR: Results indicate that SRC-1 encodes a coactivator that is required for full transcriptional activity of the steroid receptor superfamily.

Transcriptional co-repressor that interacts with nuclear hormone receptors

TL;DR: A receptor-interacting factor, SMRT, is identified as a silencing mediator (co-repressor) for retinoid and thyroid-hormone receptors and a new class of cofactors which may be important mediators of hormone action are identified.

TL;DR: This work acknowledges key intellectual contributions from Jody Rosenblatt and Julie Theriot (protrusion, Listeria motility) and attempted to fairly represent different laboratories, systems, and opinions.

Thyroid hormone receptors : multiple forms, multiple possibilities

TL;DR: The specificity of thenuclear T3 receptors for thyroid hormone analogs closely parallels the biological potency of the compounds, and the levels of the nuclear TRs correlate well with the developmental and tissue-specific effects of T3 in most cases.
