Article Abstract
Nuclear receptor subfamily 4 group A member 1 (NR4A1), which is also known as nuclear receptor 77 (NUR77), NGFI-B, or testicular receptor 3 (TR3), is a member of the NR4A subfamily of the nuclear receptor superfamily. NR4A1 has both nuclear localization and nuclear export signals, and NR4A1 is present in the cytoplasm as well as the nucleus. NR4A1 alters its subcellular localization through phosphorylation or SUMOylation. In the nucleus, NR4A1 plays an important role in regulating gene expression by directly binding to genomic DNA or indirectly influencing other transcription factors. In the cytoplasm, NR4A1 affects the stabilization of β-catenin, which is involved in various tumorigenesis. Furthermore, NR4A1 is involved in LPS-induced inflammasome activation. In mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum, NR4A1 plays an important role in the induction of autophagy and apoptosis. In this review, we focused on the current knowledge of subcellular localization and molecular function of NR4A1.

Nuclear receptors (NRs) are a superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors that regulate gene expression in response to metabolic, hormonal, and environmental signals. These receptors play a critical role in metabolic homeostasis, inflammation, immune function, and disease pathogenesis, positioning them as key therapeutic targets. This review explores the mechanistic roles of NRs such as PPARs, FXR, LXR, and thyroid hormone receptors (THRs) in regulating lipid and glucose metabolism, energy expenditure, cardiovascular health, and neurodegeneration.

During a critical period of postnatal brain development, neural circuits undergo significant refinement coincident with widespread alternative splicing of hundreds of genes, which undergo altered splice site selection for the generation of isoforms essential for synaptic plasticity. Here, we reveal that neuronal activity-dependent phosphorylation of paxillin at its serine 119 (p-paxillin) acts as a molecular switch in the nucleus for the control of alternative splicing during this period. We show that following NMDA receptor activation, nuclear p-paxillin is recruited to nuclear speckles, where it interacts with splicing factors, such as U2AFs.

Chemotherapeutic resistance is a significant issue in the treatment of breast cancer, which is related to pyroptosis inhibition. Increasing evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) contribute to tumorigenesis and drug resistance. In this study we investigated the role of the lncRNA STMN1P2 in doxorubicin resistance in breast cancer, as well as its correlation with pyroptosis inhibition.

The immune system uses a variety of DNA sensors, including endo-lysosomal Toll-like receptors 9 (TLR9) and cytosolic DNA sensor cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) synthase (cGAS). These sensors activate immune responses by inducing the production of a variety of cytokines, including type I interferons (IFN). Activation of cGAS requires DNA-cGAS interaction.

Balanced or biased G protein and arrestin transmembrane signaling by the adenosine 2A receptor (AAR) is related to ligand-induced allosterically triggered variation of structural dynamics in the intracellular half of the transmembrane domain (TMD). F-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of a network of genetically introduced meta-trifluoromethyl-L-phenylalanine (mtfF) probes in the core of the TMD revealed signaling-related structure rearrangements leading from the extracellular orthosteric drug-binding site to the G protein and arrestin contacts on the intracellular surface. The key element in this structural basis of signal transfer is dynamic loss of structural order in the intracellular half of the TMD, as manifested by local polymorphisms and associated rate processes within the molecular architecture determined previously by X-ray crystallography.
