An important requirement for physiologic homeostasis is the
detoxification and removal of endogenous hormones and xenobiotic compounds with biological activity. Much of the detoxification is
performed by cytochrome P-450 enzymes, many of which have broad substrate specificity and are inducible by hundreds of different compounds, including steroids. The ingestion of dietary steroids and
lipids induces the same enzymes; therefore, they would appear to be
integrated into a coordinated metabolic pathway. Instead of possessing
hundreds of receptors, one for each inducing compound, we propose the
existence of a few broad specificity, low-affinity sensing receptors
that would monitor aggregate levels of inducers to trigger production
of metabolizing enzymes. In support of this model, we have isolated a
novel nuclear receptor, termed the steroid and xenobiotic receptor
(SXR), which activates transcription in response to a diversity of
natural and synthetic compounds. SXR forms a heterodimer with RXR that
can bind to and induce transcription from response elements present in
steroid-inducible cytochrome P-450 genes and is expressed in tissues in
which these catabolic enzymes are expressed. These results strongly
support the steroid sensor hypothesis and suggest that broad
specificity sensing receptors may represent a novel branch of the
nuclear receptor superfamily.
