Genome-wide binding potential and regulatory activity of the glucocorticoid receptor’s monomeric and dimeric forms
Abstract
Glucocorticoid receptors (GR) are thought to bind DNA as dimers or monomers, to regulate different transcription pathways. Here, the authors perform genome-wide studies on GRs with mutations that impair dimerization and provide evidence that monomeric GRs do not play a significant physiologic role.
