description: The research question this doctoral research sought to address was “How do power dynamics influence NPO outcomes in a partnership between an NPO and a CP?”. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in partnerships between NPOs and for-profit commercial organisations (CPs). These partnerships (NPO-CPs) are proving to be an effective instrument to address both the growth in demand for NPO services in an increasingly challenging environment, and CPs’ Corporate Social Responsibility interests. However, these unique associations comprise organisations that contribute differing resources to the partnership which has the potential to result in a relationship characterised by power imbalance and dependence. A power imbalance combined with the interplay of power-related contextual factors may influence the NPO-CP relationship and ultimately, the NPO’s achievement of their stated objectives. As the formation of NPO-CPs is increasingly prevalent, gaining a better understanding of the implications of power on the effectiveness of NPO-CP relationships is key to leveraging more successful partnerships. The review of existing literature on power in NPO-CPs highlighted important gaps in our understanding. Four research objectives were developed based on important themes that were apparent in the literature, as a means to advance the theoretical interrogation as well as explore the empirical field. This study adopted an interpretivist paradigm incorporating a relativist ontology and a subjectivist epistemology. A qualitative multiple case study methodology was employed. The criteria that guided the case selection was the organisation had to be an Australian NPO that was engaged in a partnership with a CP within the past five years. Data gathering of primary evidence was through semi-structured interviews, with data saturation reached with a sample of 26 participants from 23 NPO cases.

description: Fluoxetine (FLX), the active ingredient of Prozac™, is a member of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class of anti-depressant drugs and is present in aquatic environments worldwide. Previous studies reported that FLX is an endocrine disruptor in fish, bioconcentrating in tissues including the brain. Evidence implicates that serotonin influences the activity of the hypothalamo-pituitary-interrenal (HPI) stress axis, thus exposure to FLX may disrupt the teleost stress response. This study examined in vitro cortisol production in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) head kidney/interrenal cells exposed to FLX and 14C-pregnenolone metabolism in head kidney microsome preparations of FLX-exposed trout. Results indicated that cells exposed in vitro to increasing concentrations of FLX had lower cortisol production and cell viability (versus control) and microsomes isolated from trout exposed to 54 μg/L FLX had higher pregnenolone metabolism versus those of control and low FLX-exposed (0.54 μg/L) trout.

description: Background: Malawi is celebrated as one of the few countries in sub-Saharan Africa to meet the Millennium Development Goal of reducing under-5 mortality by two-thirds between 1990 and 2015. However, within this age range neonatal mortality rates are the slowest to decline, even though rates of facility births are increasing. Examining the quality of neonatal care at district-level facilities where most deliveries occur is warranted. Objective: The objective of this paper is to evaluate the quality of neonatal care in three district hospitals and one primary health centre in southern Malawi as well as to report the limitations and lessons learned on using the WHO integrated quality of care assessment tool. Methods: These facility assessments were part of the “Integrating a neonatal healthcare package for Malawi” project, a part of the Innovating for Maternal and Child Health in Africa (IMCHA) initiative. The WHO integrated quality of care assessment tool was used to assess quality of care and availability and quantity of supplies and resources. The modules on infrastructure, neonatal care and labour and delivery were included. Facility assessments were administered in November 2017 and aspects of care were scored on a Likert scale from one to five (a score of 5 indicating compliance with WHO standards of care; one as lowest indicating inadequate care). Results: The continuum of labour, delivery and neonatal care were assessed to identify areas that required improvements to meet standards of care. Critical areas for improvements included infection control (mean score 2.9), equipment, supplies and setup for newborn care in the labor ward (2.3), in the surgical theater (3.3), and nursery (3.4 nursery facilities, 3.0 supplies and equipment), as well as for management of sick newborns (3.2), monitoring and follow-up (3.6). Only one of the 12 domains, laboratory, met the standards of care with only minor improvements needed (4.0). Conclusion: The WHO integrated quality of care assessment tool is a validated tool that can shed light on the complex quality of care challenges faced by district-level health facilities. The results reveal that the quality of care needs improvement, particularly for sick and vulnerable newborns.

description: L’articolo focalizza l’attenzione sui bisogni linguistici e comunicativi specifici degli allievi nativi e immigrati, al fine di evidenziare alcuni suggerimenti che è possibile trarne sul piano dell’educazione linguistica, intesa nel senso dell’insegnamento rivolto allo sviluppo e al potenziamento delle abilità linguistico-comunicative, ma anche metalinguistiche, svolto trasversalmente dai docenti di discipline linguistiche e non.  Tenendo conto di principi e suggerimenti emersi dalla riflessione glottodidattica e linguistica degli ultimi decenni si forniscono criteri in base ai quali i docenti possono rilevare i bisogni linguistici dei loro allievi, bisogni che si correlano a valenze di carattere comunicativo, pragmatico, espressivo e culturale-matetico, ma che sono anche di natura sociale, relazionale e affettiva, identitaria e psicologica oltre che cognitiva.     The article focuses on the specific linguistic and communicative needs of native and immigrant pupils, in order to draw attention to inspiration  that can be gained for general linguistic education, seen as teaching that aims to develop and strengthen linguistic-communicative abilities but also meta-linguistic ones – teaching that is carried out not only by teachers of language but also those of other subjects. Taking into account the principles and inspiration emerging from glottodidactic and linguistic reflections over the past ten years, criteria are provided according to which teachers can identify the linguistic needs of their pupils; these are needs that are inter-correlated in terms of communicative, pragmatic, expressive and cultural-learning needs, but are also of a social, relational, affective and psychological nature and connected with identity.

The Role of LMO4 in the Regulation of SLK Localization & Activation within Migrating Cells and in Murine Mammary Tumorigenesis

description: The Ste20-like kinase SLK plays a pivotal role in cell migration and focal adhesion turnover. SLK activity is regulated by the LIM domain-binding proteins Ldb1/2. In addition to playing role in tumor initiation and progression, these proteins have been demonstrated to interact with LMO4. Therefore, this project assessed the ability of LMO4 to interact and regulate SLK activity. Results show that LMO4 can directly bind to SLK and activate its kinase activity. LMO4 can be co-precipitated with SLK following the induction of cell migration by scratch wounding. Cre deletion of LMO4 inhibits cell migration and SLK activation, and impairs Ldb1 and SLK recruitment to the leading edge of migrating cells. Src/Yes/Fyn-deficient cells (SYF) express very low levels of LMO4 and do not recruit SLK to the leading edge. Src-family kinase inhibition impairs SLK recruitment to the leading edge, suggesting that both expression of LMO4 and the recruitment of SLK to the leading edge require c-Src activity. In conclusion, cell migration and activation of SLK requires its recruitment to the leading edge by LMO4 in a Src-dependent manner. This study also investigated whether LMO4 deletion through MMTV-Cre-driven excision would impair mammary tumorigenesis in a PyMT mouse model of breast cancer. No difference in Overall Survival was observed between animals with and without LMO4 expression. Western blot analysis and IHC showed that tumors expressed LMO4 protein in animals genotyped as Cre-positive. This result suggests that expression of LMO4 is required for tumor initiation in the PyMT model of murine mammary carcinoma. This project has established a novel cytosolic role for the transcriptional co-activator LMO4 and validated it’s involvement in the regulation of SLK and cell migration. This pathway may provide a novel therapeutic strategy as LMO4 appears to be critical to the initiation and progression of breast cancer.

description: The large-scale magnetic field of our Galaxy can be probed in three dimensions using Faraday rotation of pulsar signals. We report on the determination of 223 rotation measures from polarization observations of relatively distant southern pulsars made using the Parkes radio telescope. Combined with previously published observations, these data give clear evidence for large-scale counterclockwise fields (viewed from the north Galactic pole) in the spiral arms interior to the Sun and weaker evidence for a counterclockwise field in the Perseus arm. However, in interarm regions, including the solar neighborhood, we present evidence that suggests that large-scale fields are clockwise. We propose that the large-scale Galactic magnetic field has a bisymmetric structure with reversals on the boundaries of the spiral arms. Streaming motions associated with spiral density waves can directly generate such a structure from an initial, inwardly directed radial field. Large-scale fields increase toward the Galactic center, with a mean value of about 2 μG in the solar neighborhood and 4 μG at a galactocentric radius of 3 kpc.

description: Abstract:This study offers a comprehensive comparison of the big cats, including lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars, snow leopards, clouded leopards, Sunda clouded leopards, cheetahs, cougars, and lynxes. We aim to explore their physical characteristics, habitats, hunting strategies, communication methods, social behaviors, activity patterns, prey preferences, and conservation statuses. By examining these aspects, we seek to understand the ecological roles and adaptive strategies of these species, contributing to informed conservation efforts.Physical Characteristics and Speed:This section details the morphological traits of each species, focusing on size, coloration, and other unique physical features. Special attention is given to the remarkable speed of the cheetah, which can reach up to 70 mph (113 km/h), and the physical adaptations of other species that aid in their survival and hunting efficiency.
Habitat and Distribution:We analyze the geographical distribution and preferred habitats of each species. This includes the savannas of Africa, the jungles of Southeast Asia, the mountainous terrains of Central Asia, and the diverse ecosystems of the Americas. Understanding habitat preferences is crucial for addressing conservation challenges related to habitat loss and fragmentation.
Hunting Techniques and Prey Selection:The study examines the hunting strategies employed by each species, from the cooperative hunting seen in lion prides to the solitary stalking methods of leopards. We explore prey preferences and dietary specializations, highlighting how these factors influence the ecological roles of these predators.
Communication and Social Behavior:We investigate the various communication methods, including vocalizations, scent marking, and body language. The social structures of these species range from the highly social lions to the solitary cougars. This section provides insights into the behavioral ecology of big cats.
Conservation Status and Threats:An assessment of the conservation status of each species, based on the IUCN Red List, is provided. We discuss the primary threats they face, such as habitat destruction, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict. Conservation efforts and strategies to mitigate these threats are also examined.
Keywords:Big Cats, Felidae, Pantherinae, big cats comparison
This research aims to contribute to the existing knowledge of big cat ecology and support global conservation initiatives. Through detailed comparative analysis, we hope to foster a deeper appreciation and commitment to preserving these majestic predators for future generations.

description: Groin and hamstring injuries collectively represent a substantial burden in high-level team sports. While the literature has addressed multiple individual risk factors associated with these conditions, rates of groin and hamstring injury in team sports have remained relatively unchanged. Two possible reasons for this are a lack of: (1) reliable, valid and clinically feasible objective tests and injury prevention strategies and (2) knowledge of where these are best implemented within a contemporary injury prevention framework that considers injury as a continuum. This thesis has explored both of these concerns by investigating accessible options for the prevention of groin and hamstring strain injury and outlining their appropriate use within an injury prevention framework.
The Realities of Stakeholders’ Evaluation Experiences in a Low-Resourced Nonprofit Organization: A Phenomenological Study

Year: 2016
Subjects: Program evaluation

description: Program evaluation is important for improving the activities and services of nonprofit organizations. However, the emphasis on program evaluation has created new challenges and uncertainties for nonprofit organizations. These concerns of evaluation capacity, quality and use are of particular importance in nonprofit contexts where resources are already stretched, and where staff size and capacity are limited. As such, this research study focuses on a specific niche of the nonprofit sector, exploring how stakeholders experience program evaluation in a nonprofit organization, which (a) operates exclusively in one region, (b) is low-resourced, and (c) identifies as providing educational services to a specific community. Using a phenomenological approach to study program evaluation, the study is informed by Colaizzi’s phenomenological approach to explore stakeholders’ lived experience of evaluation in this context. The findings suggest that several components are shared among participants. Their experience is described by four themes (1) rushed and pressed for time; (2) some good will come: a sense of optimism; (3) perceived inadequacy of evaluation; and (4) dedicated, but alone and isolated. From the phenomenological analysis, three underlying contextual factors of this shared experience also emerged, including dependence on the granting system, a suboptimal structure, and individuals’ backgrounds and training. In all, this study offers contributions to evaluation practice, theory and methodological development by studying program evaluation in a rarely examined context, and by contributing empirical data about program evaluation using a methodology that has rarely been used in this domain.

description: Insegnare e apprendere più lingue in un curricolo consente di sviluppare una competenza comunicativa plurilingue e pluriculturale: una multicompetenza che, sulla base dell’interdipendenza tra apprendimenti linguistici (L1, L2, Ln …), implica un trasferimento di conoscenze, abilità e convinzioni/atteggiamenti tra le lingue. L’integrazione tra apprendimenti presuppone però un’integrazione tra insegnamenti, ossia una cultura della scuola e della classe basata sulla collaborazione – una condivisione e negoziazione di teorie, metodologie e prassi che rinnovi la sfida di un’educazione linguistica trasversale.     Learning and teaching several languages in a curriculum allows the development of a plurilingual and pluricultural communicative competence: a multicompetence based on the interdependence of language learning (L1, L2, Ln …), which implies a transfer of knowledge, abilities and beliefs/attitudes between languages. Integrating different language learning experiences, however, involves integrating teaching experiences, i.e. a school and class culture based on collaboration – sharing and negotiating theories, methodologies and practices as a way to reaffirm a cross-curricular view of language education.

description: Nella prima parte dell’articolo si dimostra, attraverso i risultati di una ricerca sul campo, la scarsa competenza lessicale dei giovani laureati e, ancor più, dei giovani diplomati, con riferimento a parole dell’uso comune; si mette in risalto l’imprecisione e la diffusa indeterminatezza delle definizioni richieste e se ne discutono le cause, sia contingenti che di lungo periodo. Nella seconda parte, alla ricerca di cause riconducibili a responsabilità della scuola, si sposta l’attenzione sull’insegnamento-apprendimento del lessico nella scuola primaria, e in particolare del lessico tecnico-scientifico, e si documenta la scarsissima attenzione per la progressione dell’apprendimento lessicale nel libro di testo per la quarta classe più diffuso. Si conclude richiamando l’attenzione degli insegnanti sul momento della scelta del libro di testo, importante se non determinante proprio, specificamente,  per l’incremento della competenza lessicale.      The first part of the article demonstrates, through the results of field research, the poor lexical competences of young graduates and to an even greater extent of young school leavers, in terms of commonly used words; the inaccuracy and general vagueness of the definitions asked for is emphasized and contingent and long-term causes, are discussed.   In the second part, in search of causes that might prove to be the responsibility of schools, the attention shifts to the teaching/learning of lexis in primary schools, in particular, of technical-scientific lexis, and proof is given of the scarce attention paid to the progressive learning of vocabulary in the most widely used textbook for the fourth year.  In the conclusion the teachers’ attention is drawn to the choice of textbook, important if not decisive for the specific improvement of lexical competence.

description: Feminist scholarship contributes to our understanding of the day-to-day experiences of female refugees especially as they relate to social and economic security. Traditional gender roles, the gender division of labour, systems of patriarchy, and sexual and gender based violence are contributing factors to the daily violence and insecurity that female refugees experience. This thesis employed unstructured interviews with 15 refugee women and 9 institutional representatives based in Malawi’s Dzaleka Refugee Camp as well as participant observation to examine perceptions of security within refugee camps as articulated by female refugees and by the institutional representatives working in Dzaleka camp. My findings underscore diverging perceptions between these two groups particularly along the themes of access to heating resources, prostitution and survival sex, boreholes, corruption, livelihoods, early and forced marriage, and reporting insecurity. Analysis of these themes indicates a gendered duality regarding the visibility of women refugees and their access to basic necessities, particularly heating resources. As such, refugee women have limited options to achieve their basic necessities and therefore may engage in negative survival strategies such as sex work. Furthermore, inadequate trust between refugees and refugee-based organizations as well as limited accountability mechanisms contributes to the insecurity that refugee women experience.

description: Shea butter production in West Africa has been dominated by women and Northern Ghana specifically is a leading global producer. This thesis explores women’s perceptions of power, control and agency in the Ojoba Women’s Fair Trade Co-operative in Upper East Ghana. I add to the literature on women’s experiences with and in fair trade. I examine how the shea industry and the co-operative provide a marketplace for women and a space for women to co-operate and resist power structures. I emphasize how the Western language of empowerment builds substantially from pre-existing women’s networks and labour sharing practices in the agricultural context. The thesis evaluates the factors within Ojoba that contribute to women’s empowerment. To be ‘empowered’ in Ojoba reflects a variety of understandings, experiences and locations. Indeed “women’s empowerment” may misrepresent how the women are capable of building a physical and social space of safety, debate and growth.

description: THIS DOCTORAL PROJECT ANALYSES multimodal representations of time in comics and other visual narratives. The research comprises a creative artefact and exegesis which explore the meaning-making potential of the accordionfolded format with a focus on temporal paradox, metaphor and materiality. The creative artefact is designed as six accordion-folded comic booklets that aim to manipulate the reading experience through foregrounding and the construction of a multi-perspective narrative via ‘narrative fold-ins’. The accompanying exegesis analyses apposite theoretical principles including multimodal viewpoint construction, cognitive linguistics, multistable perception, metalepses, metaphor and gestalt. These principles are discussed in relation to a range of published works which use the spatiotemporal structure and materiality of the book-as-object to encourage play, contribute to narrative, disrupt time and undermine assumptions about linear storytelling. Works by a range of artists are investigated including Alison Bechdel, Eddie Campbell, Eleanor Davis, Dominique Goblet, Kevin Huizenga, Andy Poyiadgi, Joe Sacco, Dave McKean, Art Spiegelman, James Jean, Adrian Tomine and Chris Ware.
description: These analyses are founded in emerging paradigms for comic studies, including the dichotomous and ‘storyboard’ (sequential-art) approaches popularised by Scott McCloud (1993, 2006), Thierry Groensteen’s ‘braided approach’ (2007), interdependent and experimental approaches (Hatfield 2005) and cognitivist semiotic approaches (Cohn 2010), among others. The literature review also looks beyond comics to explore a wide range of multimodal primary sources relating to temporality, materiality and narrative. The exegesis concludes with an exposition of the knowledge outcomes resultant from the creative practice central to this research, contributing to the field by broadening current approaches to comic creation and criticism for hybrid comic forms.

description: Recent research has proposed a new stage in human development, termed emerging adulthood by Jeffrey Arnett, which is characterized by a prolonged journey to adult roles and responsibilities. This thesis explores the experience of Chinese emerging adults, university students aged 20-25 years using Erikson’s and Levinson’s developmental theories as a theoretical framework. These authors proposed that three major developmental tasks are necessary for the transition to adulthood: separating from family of origin, forming an adult identity and finding the place for the self in the larger society. Qualitative interviews were conducted virtually with 12 Chinese university students to understand their perceptions and lived experience. Qualitative thematic analysis was used to analyze the interview transcripts. The results suggest Chinese emerging adults (a) have a low level of separation from parents; (b) have not formed a clear sense of identity and have not achieved a self-definition in adulthood; and (c) have not made initial commitments to love and work. It is speculated that the Chinese sociocultural context may further postpone its young adults’ independence and autonomy, and this prolonged transition to adulthood is both positive and problematic to Chinese young adults. This study lends support to Arnett’s emerging adulthood theory through its exploration of emerging adulthood in China, where, to date, little research has been done on this subject. It provides rich descriptions of the experience of Chinese emerging adults’ lives and enhances understandings of the role of culture in influencing the emerging adulthood period.

description: L’articolo suggerisce che la scuola, sede dell’educazione linguistica,  deve insegnare a riflettere sulla ‘norma implicita’ dei media, a cui i ragazzi sono esposti quotidianamente  nel mondo extrascolastico. La formazione di capacità critiche rispetto alla lingua veicolata dai media può avere come punto di partenza l’esperienza del quotidiano in classe alle superiori, che oggi coinvolge più di  44.000 docenti e quasi un milione e ottocentomila studenti. L’osservazione di fenomeni innovativi rispetto all’italiano standard descritto dalle grammatiche, la riflessione sulle varietà e sul dilagare della dimensione orale nello scritto, il riconoscimento di tendenze ‘trasversali’ che coinvolgono diversi ambiti testuali, possono fornire validi strumenti  alla pratica didattica.  Ma tutto il sistema massmediatico  oggi punta alla complementarietà, ai rimandi  tra i vari media, con passaggi continui: i giornali dalla Tv e dal web,  il cinema dal fumetto, il fumetto dal cinema, la pubblicità dal fumetto. Appare allora importante l’esigenza di introdurre nella pratica scolastica anche la capacità di riflettere sulla lingua di altri media che entrano nella esperienza quotidiana giovanile, come il fumetto.     The article suggests that school, the place of linguistic education, should teach pupils to reflect on the ‘norma implicita’ of the media, to which young people are exposed every day outside school.  The development of critical faculties to apply to the vehicled language of the media can take as its starting point the experience of reading newspapers in class at upper secondary school, something that now involves over 44 000 teachers and almost one million eight hundred thousand students. Observation of innovative features different to the standard Italian described in the grammar books, reflections on the variety and spread of oral registers in writing, the identification of “transversal” elements involving different textual areas, may provide valid tools for practical application in teaching.   But the entire system of mass media nowadays aims at becoming complementary, at cross reference between one medium and another with constant shifts: TV and the worldwide web to newspapers, strip cartoons to the cinema,   the cinema to strip cartoons, strip cartoons to advertising.  It would thus seem to be important for our teaching to introduce the ability to reflect on the language of the other media that enter the daily experience of young people, such as strip cartoons.

description: L’intervento cerca di definire, in una prospettiva didatticamente utile, attraverso l’analisi delle mancanze rilevate in un campione rappresentativo di testi prodotti da studenti, le abilità di scrittura indispensabili a giovani universitari e propone una serie di attività, incentrate sul modello della microscrittura espositiva, che possono rivelarsi utili a conquistarle già nella scuola secondaria superiore.     The paper attempts to define the writing abilities that are essential to young university students, through the analysis of weaknesses found in a representative sample of texts produced by students. It also suggests a series of activities, centring on the model of discursive micro-writing, that might prove useful for starting to win them over earlier, at upper secondary school.

Discourse ethics, power, and legitimacy: The ideal of democracy and the task of critical theory in Habermas.
Creators: name: Payrow Shabani, Abdollah.
Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Philosophy.

description: My thesis is concerned with the efficacy of Habermas' critical theory as an articulation of emancipatory interest, by way of critical diagnosis of social reality, which will make the ideal of free society possible. In his earlier theory of communicative action, he introduced a distinction between "the lifeworld" (the sphere of communicative interaction geared toward understanding) and "systems" (the spheres of strategic action steered by media of power and money). On this model, the pathologies of modern society were understood in terms of the colonization of the lifeworld by the systems, and emancipation was understood as preventing this colonization. In his recent works, however, this older model is seen as unable to account for legitimate power: i.e., it is unable to explain how citizens can convert their communicative understanding developed in the lifeworld into government policies. This leads Habermas to redefine the possibility of free society, emancipation, in terms of legitimate lawmaking. The turn to legal theory in Between Facts and Norms is anchored in the concept of modern law, which is situated between the lifeworld and system and as such is said to mediate between the two. Legitimate lawmaking is understood as the result of institutionalized procedures of public deliberation, which convert citizens' practices of self-determination, in the form of communicative and participatory rights, into the binding decision of political power. I will argue that the constructed concept of law, as what brings the insight of moral norms to bear upon the context of practical life, sits uncomfortably between the lifeworld and system. By aligning so closely the concepts of legitimate law, communicative power, and political system, Habermas' new approach fails to ensure emancipation since it legitimizes the political power as exercised in liberal-democratic states. I contend that the critical thrust of Habermas' theory can be regained by borrowing from the insights of postmodern political theory. Specifically, I will draw upon Foucault's analysis of power, which goes beyond the limitations of the consensus/coercion model of Habermas' view, and Derrida's deconstruction of law, which recovers the critical distance between the utopian ideal of justice and the real-existing political system.

Selective binding of steroid receptors to octamer transcription factors determines transcriptional synergism at the mouse mammary tumor virus promoter: A molecular mechanism for transcription factor recruitment to promoter DNA.

description: The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and octamer transcription factors -1 and -2 (Oct -1/-2) function synergistically to activate gene transcription from the Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus (MMTV) promoter. Mechanisms responsible for the transcriptional synergy have not been characterized. I demonstrated a protein-protein interaction between rat GR and human Oct-1/-2 in vivo, and showed the interaction was sensitive to GR point mutations C500Y and L501P. This interaction correlated with the recruitment of Oct-l/-2 to promoter DNA and appeared to contribute at least in part to the transcriptional synergy observed. Based on this observation, a molecular mechanism was proposed that would be expected to restrict gene transcription to regulatory regions containing binding sites for both factors. The direct protein-protein interaction with GR and Oct-1/-2 mapped to the Octamer factor homeodomains suggesting the potential for a broadly based interaction for homeodomain proteins. Previously, in vitro binding studies had identified several nuclear hormone receptors with the potential to bind to the POU domain of octamer factors. However in vivo, only the GR, the progesterone receptor (PR) and the androgen receptor (AR) appeared to have the potential to interact with octamer factors physically and functionally through their DNA-binding and hinge domains. In contrast, the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) failed to interact. These steroid receptors can activate transcription through common hormone response elements (HREs) but they perform distinct physiological functions by regulating unique target genes. In transient transfection assays, I demonstrated that these steroid receptors could activate transcription from the MMTV promoter to similar levels. However, differential modes of gene regulation were employed by individual steroid receptors. Transcription mediated by GR and PR was dependent on the octamer motifs while that mediated by MR and AR was octamer motif independent. The configuration of the MMTV HREs was restricted to GR- and PR-mediated transcription but octamer factor recruitment to DNA permitted gene transcription from the MMTV promoter. These results suggest that the configuration of the HREs on the MMTV promoter determine steroid receptor-specific transcriptional responses.
