Thyroid hormones regulate brain development and function through the control of gene expression, mediated by binding of T3 to nuclear receptors. Brain T3 concentration is tightly controlled by homeostatic mechanisms regulating transport and metabolism of T4 and T3. We have examined the role of the inactivating enzyme type 3 deiodinase (D3) in the regulation of 43 thyroid hormone-dependent genes in the cerebral cortex of 30-d-old mice. D3 inactivation increased slightly the expression of two of 22 positively regulated genes and significantly decreased the expression of seven of 21 negatively regulated genes. Administration of high doses of T3 led to significant changes in the expression of 12 positive genes and three negative genes in wild-type mice. The response to T3 treatment was enhanced in D3-deficient mice, both in the number of genes and in the amplitude of the response, demonstrating the role of D3 in modulating T3 action. Comparison of the effects on gene expression observed in D3 deficiency with those in hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and type 2 deiodinase (D2) deficiency revealed that the negative genes are more sensitive to D2 and D3 deficiencies than the positive genes. This observation indicates that, in normal physiological conditions, D2 and D3 play critical roles in maintaining local T3 concentrations within a very narrow range. It also suggests that negatively and positively regulated genes do not have the same physiological significance or that their regulation by thyroid hormone obeys different paradigms at the molecular or cellular levels.

Engrailed-2 (En2) is a transcription factor that possesses as most homeoproteins the unique and intriguing property to transfer from cell to cell through unconventional pathways. The internalization mechanism of this cationic protein is far from being fully understood and is proposed to require an initial interaction with cell-surface glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). To decipher the role of GAGs in the recognition of En2 at the cell surface, we have quantified the internalization of the homeodomain region in cell lines that differ in their content in cell-surface GAGs. The binding specificity to GAGs and the influence of this interaction on the structure and dynamics of En2 was also investigated at the amino acid level. Our results show that a high-affinity GAG-binding hexadecapeptide (RKPKKKNPNKEDKRPR) located upstream of the homeodomain controls internalization efficiency of En2 through selective interactions with highly-sulfated GAGs of heparan sulfate type. Our data underline the functional importance of the intrinsically disordered basic region that precedes the prominent internalization domain in En2, and demonstrate the critical role of GAGs as an entry gate for En2, finely tuning its capacity to internalize into cells.
