Stepwise androgen receptor dimerization.
Androgen-regulated gene expression is a highly coordinated dynamic process mediated by androgen receptor (AR) ligand binding and DNA binding, and by specific AR protein-protein interactions. The latter include DNA-binding domain (D-box) interactions in AR homodimers, and the interaction of the FQNLF motif in the AR N-terminal domain and the coactivator groove in the ligand-binding domain (N/C i...
متن کاملAndrogen resistance caused by mutations in the androgen receptor gene.
Defects in the human androgen receptor cause a spectrum of defects in male phenotypic sexual development associated with abnormalities in the receptor protein assayed in cultured fibroblasts and in broken cell assays. In some patients these abnormalities are associated with absent ligand binding, in other qualitative or quantitative abnormalities of ligand binding are present, and in some no ab...
متن کاملandrogen receptor gene mutations in 46, xy females
the androgen insensitivity syndrome is a heterogeneous disorder with a wide spectrum of phenotypic abnormalities, ranging from complete female to ambiguous forms that more closely resemble males. the primary abnormality is a defective androgen receptor protein due to a mutation of the androgen receptor gene. this prevents normal androgen action and thus leads to impaired virilization. a point m...
متن کاملSelective role of an NH2-terminal WxxLF motif for aberrant androgen receptor activation in androgen depletion independent prostate cancer cells.
Systemic prostate cancer therapy requires androgen ablation, which inhibits the production or action of androgens. Prostate cancer ultimately relapses during androgen ablation, and an androgen depletion-independent (ADI) phenotype emerges. Aberrant androgen receptor (AR) activation underlies therapy resistance at this stage of the disease, and mounting evidence implicates the large and highly d...
