RESUMO

Repression of gene transcription is a fundamental property of nuclear hormone receptors. We report here that cell-specific repression by nuclear receptors correlates with levels of nuclear receptor corepressor (N-CoR) protein. N-CoR protein levels are regulated by mSiah2, a mammalian homolog of Drosophila Seven in absentia that targets N-CoR for proteasomal degradation. mSiah2 expression is cell-type specific and differentially regulates the repressive activities of nuclear receptors. These findings establish targeted proteolysis of transcriptional coregulators as a mechanism for cell-specific regulation of gene transcription.
