Surprising features of nuclear receptor interaction networks revealed by live-cell single-molecule imaging by Liza Dahal, Thomas GW Graham, Gina M Dailey, Alec Heckert, Robert Tjian, Xavier Darzacq

“…Type II nuclear receptors (T2NRs) require heterodimerization with a common partner, the retinoid X receptor (RXR), to bind cognate DNA recognition sites in chromatin. Based on previous biochemical and overexpression studies, binding of T2NRs to chromatin is proposed to be regulated by competition for a limiting pool of the core RXR subunit. …”
