Sequences flanking the core-binding site modulate glucocorticoid receptor structure and activity

To modulate gene expression, the glucocorticoid receptor binds to response elements (RE) that vary in sequence. Here, the authors show that RE sequences can modulate glucocorticoid receptor structure and activity, which might provide regulatory specificity towards individual target genes.
