Abstract

Retinoid X Receptor \alpha $(RXR \alpha$), a member of the steroid-thyroid hormone receptor super family, is phosphorylated in vitro by protein kinase A (PKA) and this phosphorylation is inhibited in presence of PKA inhibitory peptide. Analysis of various deletion mutants of $RXR \alpha$ indicate that the amino-terminal A/B domain is the target for PKA phosphorylation. An $RXR \alpha$ mutant in which serine residue 27 is mutated to alanine is no longer phosphorylated by PKA. In vivo transfection experiments in COS cells indicate that cyclicAMP represses retinoic acid-mediated transcriptional activation of $RXR\alpha$ and this repression is mediated by serine 27. These results indicate that serine 27 of $RXR\alpha$ is an unique target for phosphorylation by PKA in vitro and it has an important role in the crosstalk between $RXR\alpha$ and cyclicAMP signalling pathways.
