Physiological functions of NHR-8
NHR-8 is required for gut function and may respond to the food signal.
The nhr-8 gene mutants have abnormally low resistance to the toxins colchicine and chloroquine.This resembles the regulation of protective metabolic enzymes by xenobiotic-sensing nuclear receptors.
NHR-8 may thus mediate a subset of the resistance traits promoted by PGP-3.
Possible applications of NHR-8 LBD
This LBD can be fused with different DBDs forming a composite hormone receptor for ligand regulated expression of specific genes and can also be a sensor for various lipid natured molecules.
