Structural analysis of the evolution of steroid specificity in the mineralocorticoid and glucocorticoid receptors

BACKGROUND: The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) evolved from a common ancestor. Still not completely understood is how specificity for glucocorticoids (e.g. cortisol) and mineralocorticoids (e.g. aldosterone) evolved in these receptors. RESULTS: Our analysis of sever...
