Figure 5. The putative TREs in the candidate TR target genes can mediate transcriptional activation by T3 in frog oocytes. The luciferase reporter construct containing the TREs of Dot1L, MBD3, PPM1B, PGPEP1, JUNB, BEND7, respectively, was co-injected with the control Renilla luciferase construct phRG-TK into the nuclei of Xenopus oocytes with or without prior cytoplasmic injection of Xenopus laevis TRα and RXRα mRNAs or GFP mRNA as negative control. The oocytes were incubated at 18 °C overnight in the presence or absence of 100 nM T3 and then used for dual luciferase assays. The relative activities of the firefly luciferase to Renilla luciferase were plotted. Note that all the reporters responded to T3 in the presence of TR/RXR. Image published in: Fu L et al.
