    Abstract

    Nuclear hormone receptors are potent repressors of transcription in the unliganded state. We describe here the cloning of a nuclear receptor corepressor that we call SUN-CoR (Small Unique Nuclear receptor CoRepressor), which shows no homology to previously described nuclear hormone receptor corepressors, N-CoR, or SMRT. SUN-CoR is a highly basic, 16-kDa nuclear protein that is expressed at high levels in adult tissues and is induced during adipocyte and myogenic differentiation. SUN-CoR potentiates transcriptional repression by thyroid hormone receptor and RevErb in vivo, represses transcription when fused to a heterologous DNA binding domain, and interacts with RevErb as well as with thyroid hormone receptor in vitro. SUN-CoR also interacts with N-CoR and SMRT in vitro and with endogenous N-CoR in cells. We conclude that SUN-CoR is a corepressor and may function as an additional component of the complex involved in transcriptional repression by unliganded and orphan nuclear hormone receptors.
