Transcriptional activation and nuclear targeting signals of the human androgen receptor.
The androgen receptor (AR) is a signal-transducing protein required for sexual differentiation, development, and expression of the male phenotype. A series of human AR deletion mutants were created either by site-directed mutagenesis using restriction enzyme digestion, the polymerase chain reaction, or, for a series of unidirectional NH2-terminal deletions, exonuclease III digestion. Receptor m...
متن کاملNuclear import of the human androgen receptor.
Nuclear import of the human androgen receptor was investigated by immunocytochemical analysis of androgen receptor deletion and substitution mutants, which were transiently expressed in COS-1 cells. The signal responsible for nuclear import is encoded by amino-acid residues 608-625 and is functionally similar to the bipartite nucleoplasmin nuclear-localization signal. Although the subcellular d...
متن کاملAndrogen receptor phosphorylation, turnover, nuclear transport, and transcriptional activation. Specificity for steroids and antihormones.
Nuclear transport, phosphorylation, ligand binding, and degradation rate of the recombinant androgen receptor (AR) were analyzed in transfected COS cells in the presence of various steroids and antiandrogens. Transcriptional activation was assessed in CV1 cells by cotransfection with an androgen-responsive chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) reporter vector. Hormone binding specificity of r...
متن کاملCharacterizing and Targeting Androgen Receptor
The androgen receptor (AR) is the principal therapeutic target in prostate cancer. For the past 70 years, androgendeprivation therapy (ADT) has been the major therapeutic focus. However, some patients do not benefit, and those tumorsthat do initially respond to ADT eventually progress. One recently described mechanism of such an effect is growth andsurvival-promoting effects of the ...
متن کاملAnalysis of hepatocyte nuclear factor-3 beta protein domains required for transcriptional activation and nuclear targeting.
Three distinct hepatocyte nuclear factor 3 (HNF-3) proteins (alpha, beta and gamma) regulate transcription of the transthyretin (TTR) and numerous other liver-specific genes. The HNF-3 proteins bind DNA via a homologous winged helix motif common to a number of developmental regulatory proteins including the Drosophila homeotic fork head (fkh) protein. The mammalian HNF-3/fkh family consists of ...
