ICC/IF image of ab53729 stained Hek293 cells. The cells were 4% PFA fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab53729, 1µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM.

Chromatin was prepared from C2C12 cells according to the Abcam X-ChIP protocol. Cells were fixed with 1% formaldehyde for 10 minutes. The ChIP was performed with 25μg of chromatin, 5μg of ab53729 (red), and 20μl of protein A/G sepharose beads slurry (10μl of sepharose A beads + 10μl of sepharose G beads). 5μg of rabbit normal IgG was added to the beads control (grey). The immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified by real time PCR (Sybr green approach).

Supplementary information

Thyroid Hormone Receptor alpha (THRA) also known as NR1A1 or c-erbA-1 acts as a nuclear receptor that binds thyroid hormones particularly triiodothyronine (T3). THRA weighs approximately 54 kDa. This receptor exists in various isoforms with the alpha-1 version playing a significant role in mediating thyroid hormone action. THRA is widely expressed in many tissues with high levels in the heart skeletal muscles and brain emphasizing its diverse functional impact.
Biological function summary

The receptor influences many cellular processes such as metabolism differentiation and development. It often works within a complex composed of other nuclear receptors and coregulators to regulate gene expression upon thyroid hormone binding. By altering transcriptional activity THRA affects cell growth energy metabolism and the proper functioning of vital organs. This regulation is critical during both developmental phases and adult physiological maintenance.

Pathways

THRA integrates within the thyroid hormone signaling and metabolic regulation pathways. It modulates genes involved in energy metabolism such as uncoupling proteins influencing how cells utilize and store energy. THRA interacts with related proteins like Thyroid Hormone Receptor beta (THRB) collectively orchestrating the intricate control of metabolic processes particularly in response to hormonal signals that adjust body functions based on physiological needs.

Mutations or dysfunction of THRA associates with conditions like RTHalpha (Resistance to Thyroid Hormone alpha) and some metabolic syndromes. RTHalpha manifests with symptoms such as impaired growth and cognitive deficits. THRA's interaction with THRB can exacerbate these issues highlighting their linked contribution to thyroid hormone resistance. Investigating these interactions presents opportunities for understanding and potentially treating related disorders more effectively.
