Mouse Estrogen Receptor b Forms Estrogen Response Element- Binding Heterodimers with Estrogen Receptor a
The recent discovery that an additional estrogen receptor subtype is present in various rat tissues has advanced our understanding of the mechanisms underlying estrogen signaling. Here we report on the cloning of the cDNA encoding the mouse homolog of estrogen receptor-b (ERb) and the functional characterization of mouse ERb protein. ERb is shown to have overlapping DNA-binding specificity with...
متن کاملDifferential Ligand Binding Affinities of Human Estrogen Receptor-α Isoforms
Rapid non-genomic effects of 17β-estradiol are elicited by the activation of different estrogen receptor-α isoforms. Presence of surface binding sites for estrogen have been identified in cells transfected with full-length estrogen receptor-α66 (ER66) and the truncated isoforms, estrogen receptor-α46 (ER46) and estrogen receptor-α36 (ER36). However, the binding affinities of the membrane estrog...
متن کاملβ-Lactam estrogen receptor antagonists and a dual-targeting estrogen receptor/tubulin ligand.
Twelve novel β-lactams were synthesized and their antiproliferative effects and binding affinity for the predominant isoforms of the estrogen receptor (ER), ERα and ERβ, were determined. β-Lactams 23 and 26 had the strongest binding affinities for ERα (IC50 values: 40 and 8 nM, respectively) and ERβ (IC50 values: 19 and 15 nM). β-Lactam 26 was the most potent in antiproliferative assays using M...
متن کاملDioxin induces an estrogen-like, estrogen receptor-dependent gene expression response in the murine uterus.
2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is a ubiquitous environmental contaminant that elicits a broad range of toxicities in a tissue-, sex-, age-, and species-specific manner, including alterations in estrogen signaling. Many, if not all, of these effects involve changes in gene expression mediated via the activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), a ligand activated transcription ...
متن کاملBRCA1 mediates ligand-independent transcriptional repression of the estrogen receptor.
Mutational inactivation of BRCA1 confers a cumulative lifetime risk of breast and ovarian cancers. However, the underlying basis for the tissue-restricted tumor-suppressive properties of BRCA1 remains poorly defined. Here we show that BRCA1 mediates ligand-independent transcriptional repression of the estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha), a principal determinant of the growth, differentiation, and...
