Abstract
The Front Cover features the farnesoid X receptor (FXR) which is a nuclear receptor with a role in regulating bile acid synthesis and cholesterol homeostasis. This work studies the ligand-mediated FXR activation and heterodimerization using microsecond timescale molecular dynamics simulations. Recently reported FXR antagonists and well stablished agonists were investigated. Changes in the heterodimerization interface induced by antagonists prevent recruitment of co-regulatory elements. These results provide insights into their conformational changes and show what happens when two nuclear receptors become one system.
