Abstract

The constant of affinity between glucocorticoid receptor (GR) complex isolated together with triamcinolone and a synthetic oligonucleotide glucocorticoid-responsive element (GRE) corresponding to the GRE-1 sequence of the rat thyrosine aminotransferase gene promoter is assessed. Singlestranded oligonucleotides with the straight sequence (Kd 0.2 ± 0.006 pM) possess the highest affinity for GR. The affinity of single-stranded oligonucleotides with antisense sequence is far lower (Kd 1.5 ± 0.2 pM), but is superior to that of double-stranded oligo GRE (Kd 12.0+ 1.1 pM). The results suggest that the complexes are formed mainly with the sense strand of DNA; on the other hand, it is probable that the reaction of glucocorticoid receptor with GRE promotes conformational changes of DNA in this gene region.
