Retinoic acid mediates long-paced oscillations in retinoid receptor activity: evidence for a potential role for RIP140.

Mechanisms that underlie oscillatory transcriptional activity of nuclear receptors (NRs) are incompletely understood.Evidence exists for rapid, cyclic recruitment of coregulatory complexes upon activation of nuclear receptors.RIP140 is a NR coregulator that represses the transactivation of agonist-bound nuclear receptors.Previously, we showed that
