Agonist Comments
NR4A2 (NURR) is the first nuclear receptor described that lacks a bona fide ligand binding pocket in its LBD. It is therefore the first unambiguously orphan nuclear receptor [24].

HRE core sequence:  AAAGGTCA
Response element:  Other - see comments
DNA Binding Comments
NR4A2 is able to interact with DNA in various manner. As monomers, NR4A2 as other N4R4A subfamily members interact with the so-called NBRE sequence (AAAGGTCA). NR4A2 also interacts with DNA as an heterodimer with RXR and bind NBRE as well as DR5 response elements (AGGTCA nnnAA AGGTCA). NR4A2 is also able to homodimerize and to heterodimerize with other NR4A family members and bind the so-called NuRE sequence which has the structure of an ER10 (two AGGTCA elements as everted repeats spaced by 10 bp, the two immediate 5’ bases of each element being As).

Name Species Effect Technique Comments References
Spp1 Mouse Activated Transient transfection, EMSA, Other The activation of the OPN promoter is mediated by the monomeric form of Nurr1, required direct binding of Nurr1 to the OPN promoter, and is dependent on the amino-terminal transactivation function-1. The OPN promoter is also regulated by vitamin D receptor and estrogen-related receptors. Nurr1 and vitamin D activate the OPN promoter in a synergistic fashion, whereas Nurr1-mediated transactivation of the OPN promoter is repressed by estrogen-related receptors. 8

Tissue Distribution Comments
The NR4A2 is expressed as a 3.5 kb transcript and exhibit a strong inducibility, for example by membrane depolarisation in PC12 cells.The three NR4A subfamily members are expressed in a complex pattern in the nervous system where they are induced as part of the immediate early response to stimuli such as growth factors, membrane depolarisation and seizure. Their expression pattern outside the nervous system is quite large. NR4A2 is expressed more specifically in mesencephalic dopaminergic neurones of the ventral tegmental area and of the substantia nigra. Outside of the CNS, NR4A2 is expressed in the adult liver as well as in pituitary, thymus and osteoblasts. It is important to notice that NR4A2 is constitutively expressed in various region of the CNS and quickly induced as an immediate early gene in numerous peripheric tissus and in the CNS in response to various stimuli. (NB: similar patterns are seen in rodents).
Physiological Consequences of Altering Gene Expression Click here for help
NR4A2 null mice: Three independent knock out mice strain were generated by different groups. Homozygous mice from all strains exhibit a complete loss of ventral mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons and die at birth. In addition to the deficiency of dopaminergic neurons, these mice exhibit respiratory dysfunction and altered gene expression in the dorsal motor nucleus of the brain stem.

Description:  Nurr2: Has a novel cryptic exon located upstream in the Nurr1 promoter region, and was generated by alternative splicing at exons 1, 2 and 6. The C-terminal region was encoded by frame-shifted exon 6, and so Nurr2 lacked the C-terminal sequences corresponding to the putative ligand binding domain or dimerization domain. Functional analysis using a reporter gene, containing NBRE response elements, indicated that while the isoform was inactive by itself, it could inhibit transactivation by the members of the NGFI-B family
