From an evolutionary perspective, deiodinases may be considered pivotal players in the emergence and functional diversification of both thyroidal systems (TS) and their iodinated messengers. To better understand the evolutionary pathway and the concomitant functional diversification of vertebrate deiodinases, in the present review we summarized the highlights of the available information regarding this ubiquitous enzymatic component that represents the final, common physiological link of TS. The information reviewed here suggests that deiodination of tyrosine metabolites is an ancient feature of all chordates studied to date and consequently, that it precedes the integration of the TS that characterize vertebrates. Phylogenetic analysis presented here points to D1 as the oldest vertebrate deiodinase and to D2 as the most recent deiodinase gene, a hypothesis that agrees with the notion that D2 is the most specialized and finely regulated member of the family and plays a key role in vertebrate neurogenesis. Thus, deiodinases seem to be major participants in the evolution and functional expansion of the complex regulatory network of TS found in vertebrates.

Thyroid hormones (THs) induce pleiotropic effects in vertebrates, mainly through the activation or repression of gene expression. These mechanisms involve thyroid hormone binding to thyroid hormone receptors, an event that is followed by the sequential recruitment of coactivator or corepressor proteins, which in turn modify the rate of transcription. In the present study, we looked for specific coregulators recruited by the long isoform of the teleostean thyroid hormone receptor beta 1 (L-Trb1) when bound to the bioactive TH, 3,5-T2 (T2). We found that jun activation domain-binding protein1 (Jab1) interacts with L-Trb1 + T2 complex. Using both the teleostean and human TRB1 isoforms, we characterized the Jab1–TRB1 by yeast two-hybrid, pull-down and transactivation assays. Our results showed that the TRB1–Jab1 interaction was ligand dependent and involved the single Jab1 nuclear receptor box, as well as the ligand-binding and N-terminal domains of TRB1. We also provide evidence of ligand-dependent, dual coregulatory properties of Jab1. Indeed, when T2 is bound to L-Trb1 or hTRB1, Jab1 acts as a coactivator of transcription, whereas it has corepressor activity when interacting with the T3-bound S-Trb1 or hTRB1. These mechanisms could explain some of the pleiotropic actions exerted by THs to regulate diverse biological processes.

Iodide is a trace element and a key component of thyroid hormones (TH). The availability of this halogen is the rate-limiting step for TH synthesis; therefore, thyroidal iodide uptake and recycling during TH synthesis are of major importance in maintaining an adequate supply. In the rat, the thyroid gland co-expresses a distinctive pair of intrathyroidal deiodinating enzymes: the thyroid iodotyrosine dehalogenase (tDh) and the iodothyronine deiodinase type 1 (ID1). In the present work, we studied the activity of these two dehalogenases in conditions of hypo- and hyperthyroidism as well as during acute and chronic iodide administration in both intact and hypophysectomized (HPX) rats. In order to confirm our observations, we also measured the mRNA levels for both dehalogenases and for the sodium/iodide symporter, the protein responsible for thyroidal iodide uptake. Our results show that triiodothyronine differentially regulates tDh and ID1 enzymatic activities, and that both acute and chronic iodide administration significantly decreases rat tDh and ID1 activities and mRNA levels. Conversely, both enzymatic activities increase when intrathyroidal iodide is pharmacologically depleted in TSH-replaced HPX rats. These results show a regulatory effect by iodide on the intrathyroidal dehalogenating enzymes and suggest that they contribute to the iodide-induced autoregulatory processes involved in the Wolff–Chaikoff effect.
