Abstract

Background: Ketoconazole binds to and antagonizes pregnane X receptor (PXR) activation. Results: Yeast high throughput screens of PXR mutants define a unique region for ketoconazole binding. Conclusion: Ketoconazole genetically interacts with specific PXR surface residues. Significance: A yeast-based genetic method to discover novel nuclear receptor interactions with ligands that associate with surface binding sites is suggested.
