Q1. After years of hard work, you have isolated a mutant of glucocorticoid receptor. Additional studies identified that the mutant is capable of binding to glucocorticoid hormone but defective in activating the transcription. Based of this information and your knowledge on glucocorticoid receptor signaling, how do you explain this phenomenon. List and explain all possible reasons for this defect in mutant.
