Amino acid sequence analysis indicates that the human TR4 orphan receptor (TR4) is a member of the estrogen/thyroid receptor subfamily of the steroid/thyroid receptor superfamily and recognizes the AGGTCA direct repeat (DR) of the hormone response element. Here we demonstrate using the electrophoretic mobility shift assay that TR4 binds specifically to DR with a spacing of 1 and 5 base pairs (DR1 and DR5), which are the response elements for retinoic acid receptor (RAR) and retinoid X receptor (RXR), respectively. A reporter gene assay using chloramphenicol acetyltransferase demonstrated that TR4 repressed RA-induced transactivation in a TR4 dose-dependent manner. Inhibition of the retinoid signal pathway also occurs through natural response elements found in CRBPII and RARbeta genes. Our data suggest that the mechanism of repression may not involve the formation of functionally inactive heterodimers between TR4 and RAR or RXR. Instead, we show that TR4 may compete for hormone response elements with RAR and RXR due to its higher binding affinity. Furthermore, treatment of F9 murine teratocarcinoma (F9) cells with 10(-6) M all-trans-retinoic acid increased TR4 mRNA levels, and this change was accompanied by an increased amount of endogenous TR4 protein that can bind to RXRE in electrophoretic mobility shift assay. Our data therefore strongly suggest that the retinoid signal pathway can be regulated by TR4 in a negative feedback control mechanism, which may restrict retinoic acid signaling to certain elements in a cell-specific fashion.
