BRCA1 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...
متن کاملp300 Modulates the BRCA1 inhibition of estrogen receptor activity.
We previously reported that expression of the breast cancer susceptibility gene BRCA1 strongly inhibits the transcriptional activity of the estrogen receptor (ER-alpha) in human breast and prostate cancer cell lines but only weakly inhibits ER-alpha activity in cervical cancer cells (S. Fan et al., Science (Wash. DC), 284: 1354-1356, 1999). We now report that the ability of BRCA1 to repress ER-...
متن کاملEstrogen receptor interaction with estrogen response elements.
The estrogen receptor (ER) is a ligand-activated enhancer protein that is a member of the steroid/nuclear receptor superfamily. Two genes encode mammalian ER: ERalpha and ERbeta. ER binds to specific DNA sequences called estrogen response elements (EREs) with high affinity and transactivates gene expression in response to estradiol (E(2)). The purpose of this review is to summarize how natural ...
متن کاملThe Structural Basis of Estrogen Receptor/Coactivator Recognition and the Antagonism of This Interaction by Tamoxifen
Ligand-dependent activation of transcription by nuclear receptors (NRs) is mediated by interactions with coactivators. Receptor agonists promote coactivator binding, and antagonists block coactivator binding. Here we report the crystal structure of the human estrogen receptor alpha (hER alpha) ligand-binding domain (LBD) bound to both the agonist diethylstilbestrol (DES) and a peptide derived f...
