Figure Lengend Snippet: Identification of potential metal interaction sites on the LBD of ESRRB. ( A ), Chimeric GAL4-ESRRBsf-LBD construct. Created in BioRender. Shi, X. (2025) https://BioRender.com/a4hn9su (accessed on 16 October 2025). ( B ), Effect of cadmium and GSK4716 on WT LBD and GAL-4 plasmid. ( C ), Three-dimensional structure of ESRRB-LBD (6LN4); red dots represent H 2 O molecules. ( D ), Predicted interaction sites of calcium or cadmium on helix 4, 10,11 and 12; purple dots represent Ca 2+ or Cd 2+ at potential interaction sites. ( E ), CAT activity of GAL4-ESRRBsf-LBD mutants. ( F , I , L , N ) show the amino acid residues of predicted sites in 3D structure. ( G , H , J , K , M , O , P ), Effects of cadmium and GSK4716 on GAL-4-ESRRB-LBD mutants. Data are expressed as fold change (mean ± SEM); n ≥ 3; statistical significance is defined as a p value of <0.05, p value is marked above if statistically significant. LBD refers to ligand binding domain.
