S1 |
0-110 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Glucocorticoid resistance in the squirrel monkey is associated with overexpression of the immunophilin FKBP51. |
S2 |
111-274 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Squirrel monkeys are neotropical primates that have high circulating cortisol to compensate for expression of glucocorticoid receptors (GRs) with reduced affinity. |
S3 |
275-443 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The low binding affinity of squirrel monkey GR does not result from substitutions in the receptor, because squirrel monkey GR expressed in vitro exhibits high affinity. |
S4 |
444-629 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Rather, squirrel monkeys express a soluble factor that, in mixing studies of cytosol from squirrel monkey lymphocytes (SML) and mouse L929 cells, reduced GR binding affinity by 11-fold. |
S5 |
630-774 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In an effort to identify this factor, the cellular levels of components of the GR heterocomplex in SML and human lymphocytes (HL) were compared. |
S6 |
775-889 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The immunophilin FKBP51 was 13-fold higher in SML than in HL cytosol; FKBP52 in SML was 42% of that in HL cytosol. |
S7 |
890-1638 |
Sentence |
denotes |
A role for changes in immunophilins, causing glucocorticoid resistance in neotropical primates, is supported by the following: the changes in FKBP51 and FKBP52 were observed in cells from other neotropical primates with glucocorticoid resistance; the elevated level of FKBP51 was reflected in an abundance of FKBP51 in heat shock protein 90 complexes in SML; when cytosols of SML and L929 cells were mixed, the decrease in GR binding was associated with incorporation of FKBP51 into GR heterocomplexes; the effect of SML cytosol on GR binding was reproduced with cytosol from COS cells expressing squirrel monkey FKBP51; and both the effect of SML cytosol on GR binding and the incorporation of FKBP51 into GR heterocomplexes were blocked by FK506. |
S8 |
1639-1763 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Regulation of GR binding by FKBP51 represents a previously unrecognized mechanism for regulating glucocorticoid sensitivity. |
