title: Structure of full-length PPARgamma-RXRalpha: a snapshot of a functional complex?
abstract: The first crystal structure of a full-length nuclear receptor complex on DNA reveals an interdomain contact between the ligand- and DNA-binding domains of subunits and illuminates the role of the 5' extension of the binding site in polarity of positioning. These findings have possible functional implications.
