5. Intracellular receptors
• Chemical messengers must cross cell membrane
• Chemical messengers must be hydrophobic
• Example - steroids and steroid receptors

5.1 Structure
Zinc
Zinc fingers contain Cys residues (SH)
Allow S-Zn interactions
CO2H
H2N
DNA binding region
(‘zinc fingers’)
Steroid
binding region

5.2 Mechanism
1. Messenger crosses membrane
2. Binds to receptor
3. Receptor dimerisation
4. Binds co-activator protein
5. Complex binds to DNA
6. Transcription switched on or off
7. Protein synthesis activated or inhibited

Hydrophic skeleton
Oestradiol
• Phenol and alcohol of oestradiol are important binding groups
• Binding site is spacious and hydrophobic
• Phenol group of oestradiol positioned in narrow slot
• Orientates rest of molecule
• Acts as agonist

Side
chain
• Raloxifene is an antagonist (anticancer agent)
• Phenol groups mimic phenol and alcohol of oestradiol
• Interaction with Asp351 is important for antagonist activity
• Side chain prevents receptor helix H12 folding over as lid
• AF-2 binding region not revealed
• Co-activator cannot bind
