There are indications that both receptors interact functionally and physically, but the precise role of this interdependence is poorly understood. Here, we analyzed the impact of GR coexpression on MR genome-wide transcriptional responses and chromatin binding upon activation by aldosterone and glucocorticoids, both physiological ligands of this receptor. Transcriptional responses of MR in the absence of GR result in fewer regulated genes. In contrast, coexpression of GR potentiates MR-mediated transcription, particularly in response to aldosterone, both in cell lines and in the more physiologically relevant model of mouse colon organoids. MR chromatin binding is altered by GR coexpression in a locus-and ligand-specific way. Single-molecule tracking of MR suggests that the presence of GR contributes to productive binding of MR/aldosterone complexes to chromatin. Together, our data indicate that coexpression of GR potentiates aldosterone-mediated MR transcriptional activity, even in the absence of glucocorticoids.}, organization = {Research Program of the NIH, National Cancer Institute, Center for Cancer Research, by grants PID2019-105339RB- I00, PID2020-112768RB- I00, and PID2022-138788NB- I00_ 22091 (funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and “ERDF A way of making Europe,” MICINN, Spain)}, organization = {Grant PI21/00952 from Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII, Spain), cofunded by the European Union}, organization = {Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red de Enfermedades Hepáticas y Digestivas (CIBERehd)}, organization = {PRX18/00498 (funded by Programa Estatal de Promoción del Talento y su Empleabilidad en I + D + i, Subprograma Estatal de Movilidad, del Plan Estatal de I + D + I, MICINN, Spain)}, organization = {Spanish DCH Ministry of Science, Education and Universities}, organization = {NIH R35-145313 and NSF 2132922}, publisher = {PNAS}, keywords = {steroid receptors}, keywords = {heteromerization}, keywords = {chromatin binding}, title = {The glucocorticoid receptor potentiates aldosterone-induced transcription by the mineralocorticoid receptor}, doi = {10.1073/pnas.2413737121}, author = {A.
