2015 journal article

Molecular Cloning, Functional Characterization, and Evolutionary Analysis of Vitamin D Receptors Isolated from Basal Vertebrates

PLOS ONE, 10(4).

By: E. Kollitz n, G. Zhang  n, M. Hawkins n, G. Whitfield*, D. Reif n  & S. Kullman n 

Contributors: E. Kollitz n, G. Zhang  n, M. Hawkins n, G. Whitfield*, D. Reif n  & S. Kullman n 

MeSH headings : Animals; Base Sequence; Cloning, Molecular; Computational Biology; Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay; Evolution, Molecular; Fishes / genetics; Likelihood Functions; Models, Genetic; Molecular Sequence Data; Petromyzon / genetics; Phylogeny; Protein Binding; Protein Interaction Mapping; Receptors, Calcitriol / genetics; Sequence Analysis, DNA; Skates, Fish / genetics; Species Specificity; Two-Hybrid System Techniques
TL;DR: This study compares molecular activities of vitamin D receptors (VDR) from basal species that diverged at key points in vertebrate evolution in order to infer derived and ancestral VDR functions of teleost paralogs and suggests that 1, 25D3 acts as a partial agonist in basal species.

2014 journal article

Functional diversification of vitamin D receptor paralogs in teleost fish after a whole genome duplication event

Endocrinology, 155(12), 4641–4654.

By: E. Kollitz n, M. Hawkins n, G. Whitfield* & S. Kullmam

MeSH headings : Animals; Calcitriol / metabolism; Evolution, Molecular; Fish Proteins / genetics; Fish Proteins / metabolism; Gene Duplication; Genome; Nuclear Receptor Coactivators / metabolism; Oryzias; Receptors, Calcitriol / genetics; Receptors, Calcitriol / metabolism; Retinoid X Receptors / metabolism; Zebrafish
TL;DR: The results imply that functional differences between VDRα and VDRβ occurred early in teleost evolution because they are conserved between distantly related species, and suggest that the observed differences may be associated with differential protein-protein interactions between the VDR paralogs and coactivators.

2011 journal article

The evolution of farnesoid X, vitamin D, and pregnane X receptors: insights from the green-spotted pufferfish (Tetraodon nigriviridis) and other non-mammalian species

BMC BIOCHEMISTRY, 12.

By: M. Krasowski *, N. Ai, L. Hagey*, E. Kollitz n, S. Kullman n , E. Reschly*, S. Ekins *

MeSH headings : Animals; Bile Acids and Salts / metabolism; Evolution, Molecular; Humans; Ligands; Mice; Models, Molecular; Pregnane X Receptor; Protein Interaction Domains and Motifs; Rats; Receptors, Calcitriol / genetics; Receptors, Calcitriol / metabolism; Receptors, Cytoplasmic and Nuclear / genetics; Receptors, Cytoplasmic and Nuclear / metabolism; Receptors, Steroid / genetics; Receptors, Steroid / metabolism; Species Specificity; Structure-Activity Relationship; Tetraodontiformes; Zebrafish
TL;DR: These studies provide further evidence of the relationship between both FXR, PXR, and VDR ligand selectivity and cross-species variation in bile salt profiles and suggest a ligand-binding pocket architecture more similar to human and rat FXRs than to lamprey or zebrafish FXRs.

TL;DR: M mammalian two-hybrid studies demonstrated the ability of Fxralpha2, but not FxRALpha1, to interact with PGC-1alpha and SRC-1, and supported the results from the transient transfection reporter gene activation assays. (via Semantic Scholar)
