Glucocorticoid reduces inflammation by both inducing anti-inflammatory genes and suppressing pro-inflammatory genes, but how these two functions are dictated is unclear. Here the authors show that phosphorylated glucocorticoid receptor-interacting protein 1 (GRIP1) serves as a coactivator for this response in macrophage.
