The nuclear hormone receptor superfamily is characterized by an impressive functional diversity of its members despite a remarkable overall structural unity. A variety of ligands bind specifically to them and these receptors control gene networks that have profound effects on growth, development, and homeostasis. The ligand-receptor complexes recognize transcriptional enhancer DNA sequences, the hormone response elements, resulting in induction or repression of gene activity. The similarity between all these hormone response enhancer elements, as well as between the receptors themselves, indicates a conserved general strategy for the hormonal control of transcription by steroids. The activated receptors bind to responsive promoters and most likely mediate the assembly of stage- and tissue-specific transcription factor complexes that stimulate or inhibit gene expression.
