The vitamin D receptor (VDR) is the nuclear receptor for
1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3
[1
,25(OH)2D3] that acts as a
ligand-dependent transcription factor via combined contact with
coactivator proteins (steroid receptor coactivator-1, transcriptional
intermediary factor 2, and receptor associated coactivator 3) and
specific DNA binding sites [vitamin D response elements (VDREs)].
Ligand-mediated conformational changes of the VDR contribute to the key
mechanisms in this nuclear hormone signaling process.

,25(OH)2D3, MC1288 [20-epi-1
,25(OH)2D3], ZK161422
[20-methyl-1
,25(OH)2D3], and Ro27-2310
(also called Gemini, having two side chains at carbon 20) were used as
model VDR agonists. The analysis of agonist-induced VDR conformations
and coactivator interactions were found to be insufficient for
extrapolating in vivo activities. In DNA-independent assays, such as
classical limited protease digestions and glutathione S-transferase pull downs, Gemini seemed to be up to
10,000-fold and the other VDR agonists 10- to 100-fold weaker than in
functional in vivo assays. A more accurate description of the gene
regulatory potential of VDR agonists was obtained with all tested VDR
agonists by analyzing VDR conformations in the context of VDRE-bound
VDR-retinoid X receptor heterodimers, in such assays as gel supershift,
gel shift clipping, and limited protease digestion in the presence of
DNA and cofactor. Coactivators were found to shift the ligand sensitivity (by a factor of 4 for Gemini) and the ratio of VDR conformations in the presence of DNA toward the high-affinity ligand
binding conformation (c1LPD). In conclusion, the induction of response element- and coactivator-modulated VDR conformations appears to be a key step for the gene regulatory function of a VDR
agonist. The quantification of these effects would be of central importance for the evaluation of the cell-specific efficacy of systemically applied 1
,25(OH)2D3 analogs.
