    摘要: This invention provides methods and compositions that are useful for modulating cholesterol levels in a cell, and for identifying compounds that can tested for ability to modulate cholesterol levels in mammals. In vitro assays for prescreening to identify candidate therapeutic agents for modulation of cholesterol metabolism are provided. These methods involve analyzing the effect of a test compound on the binding of FXR to a ligand for FXR. Such ligands include, for example, bile acids, coactivators, and corepressors. The methods and compositions involve modulating FXR-mediated expression of genes involved in cholesterol metabolism.

    摘要: Methods for identifying modulators of nuclear hormone receptor function comprise the steps of (a) forming a mixture comprising a nuclear hormone receptor, a peptide sensor and a candidate agent, but not a natural coactivator protein of the receptor, wherein the sensor provides direct, in vitro binding to the receptor under assay conditions; (b) measuring an agent-biased binding of the sensor to the receptor; and (c) comparing the agent-biased binding with a corresponding unbiased binding of the sensor to the receptor. In particular embodiments, the sensor comprises an amphipathic alpha helix nuclear hormone interacting domain comprising a recited nuclear hormone transcriptional coactivator motif sequence, the sensor is present at sub-micromolar concentration, the binding reaction occurs in solution, the sensor comprises a fluorescent label and the measuring step comprises detecting fluorescence polarization of the label. Reagents include labeled sensor peptides and reaction mixtures consisting essentially of nuclear hormone receptor, a peptide and a candidate agent.
