Functional redundancy of the Nur77 and Nor-1 orphan steroid receptors in T cell apoptosis. of outstanding interest EMBO J. 16:1997;1865-1875 These authors identify Nor-1, a member of the Nur77 family, as a protein with similar function to Nur77. Constitutive Nor-1 expression leads to massive thymocyte cell death. In addition, this paper shows that the expression of Nur77 can rescue the lymphoproliferative disease of gld/gld (FasL mutant) mice, demonstrating a Fas-independent nature of Nur77-initiated apoptosis.

A role of the orphan steroid receptor Nur77 in antigen-induced negative selection. of outstanding interest Immunity. 3:1995;273-282 This paper, along with [23], demonstrates that expression of a dominant negative Nur77 protein partially inhibits apoptosis accompanying negative selection. These data suggest that members of the Nur77 family are crucial for thymocytes apoptosis. In addition, this paper, along with [25], shows that constitutive expression of Nur77 leads to massive thymocyte apoptosis.

Apoptosis of nur77/N10-transgenic thymocytes involves the Fas/Fas ligand pathway. of outstanding interest Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 93:1996;5533-5538 This paper, along with [22], shows that constitutive expression of Nur77 in thymocytes leads to apoptosis. These authors further found that FasL transcription is upregulated in Nur77 transgenic thymocytes. Mutation at the FasL gene partially rescues thymocytes from Nur77-mediated apoptosis, suggesting that FasL is one of the genes regulated by Nur77.
