چکیده

LIM domain only 4 (LMO4), a member of the LIM-only family of transcriptional coregulatory proteins, consists of two LIM protein-protein interaction domains that enable it to function as a linker protein in multiprotein complexes. Here, we have identified estrogen receptor A (ERA) and its corepressor, metastasis tumor antigen 1 (MTA1), as two novel binding partners of LMO4. Interestingly, LMO4 exhibited binding with both ERA and MTA1 and existed as a complex with ERA, MTA1, and histone deacetylases (HDAC), implying that LMO4 was a component of the MTA1 corepressor complex. Consistent with this notion, LMO4 overexpression repressed ERA transactivation functions in an HDAC-dependent manner. Accordingly, silencing of endogenous LMO4 expression resulted in a significant increased recruitment of ERA to target gene chromatin, stimulation of ERA transactivation activity, and enhanced expression of ERA-regulated genes. These findings suggested that LMO4 was an integral part of the molecular machinery involved in the negative regulation of ERA transactivation function in breast cells. Because LMO4 is up-regulated in human breast cancers, repression of ERA transactivation functions by LMO4 might contribute to the process of breast cancer progression by allowing the development of ERA-negative phenotypes, leading to increased aggressiveness of breast cancer cells.

The Group 3 LIM domain protein paxillin potentiates androgen receptor transactivation in prostate cancer cell lines.

Paxillin, a member of the group 3 subfamily of LIM domain proteins, is localized within focal adhesions and participates in a number of signal transduction pathways mobilized upon activation of cell surface receptors. In recent years, a number of group 3 LIM domain proteins have been found to also localize within the nucleus and exert direct effects on transcription. We show here that paxillin ...

Estrogen Receptor Beta Expression in Melanomas Versus Dysplastic Nevi

Dear Editor-in-ChiefMalignant melanoma is a tumor arising from melanocyte; this tumor rarely occurs before puberty, with higher mortality rate in males and better survival rate in female patients affected by metastatic melanoma (1, 2). These facts propose that a relationship and association may exist between estrogens and melanoma. The effects of estrogens are mediated by...

Proline-, glutamic acid-, and leucine-rich protein-1/modulator of nongenomic activity of estrogen receptor enhances androgen receptor functions through LIM-only coactivator, four-and-a-half LIM-only protein 2.

Proline-, glutamic acid-, and leucine-rich protein-1 (PELP1) is a coregulator of multiple nuclear receptors. Molecular mechanisms of PELP1 function are not completely understood, but its expression is up-regulated in hormonal-dependent cancers. Using a yeast two-hybrid screen, we found that four-and-a-half LIM-only protein 2 (FHL2) interacted with PELP1. FHL2 is a transcriptional regulator that...
