Phosphorylation-dependent regulation of co-factors properties and transcription regulators (i.e. PKAc-p65 and GR cross talk Doucas, PNAS, 11/2000), reflects an interesting interplay of cell coordination in response to signal control. Despite its relevant importance in physiology and pathology, the phosphorylation process is by itself a very transient situation in the transcription processing control, and therefore represents an emerging situation.

According to the authors, the phosphorylation-mediated recruitment switch of NCoR1 between nuclear receptor subsets which provides a mechanism by which corepressors can selectively modulate liver energy metabolism during the fasting-feeding transition, is in my opinion a site effect.

This is a statistically observed data which could reflect just a transient situation of NCoR1, which in fact could be irrelevant of the role of corepressors in control of liver energy metabolism, which is in fact the real concern.
