1 Analyses of the wild type and mutant MRs activities in response to corticosteroids bearing hydroxyl groups at various steroid skeleton position led to the following conclusions: 1) the interaction between the residue Asn 770 and the C21-hydroxyl group of corticosteroids is determinant for stabilizing the active MR conformation and 2) the stability of this conformation is enhanced by the 11-18 hemiketal group of aldosterone whereas it is decreased by the 11 beta- and 17 alpha-hydroxyl groups of cortisol.
