Protein arginine methylation in estrogen signaling and estrogen-related cancers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Estrogen signaling pathways regulate multiple cellular processes including proliferation and differentiation, and dysregulation of these pathways underlies several human pathologies. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) play an important role in estrogen signaling. This review focuses on recent findings pertinent to arginine methylation of non-histone proteins and their implications in estrogen signaling. We describe protein arginine methyltransferases and demethylases, the role of methylarginine proteins in estrogen action and crosstalk with other PTMs such as phosphorylation and lysine methylation. The relationships between various PTMs form a specific code that is likely to play an important role in hormone signaling. In addition, dysregulation of arginine methylation or of enzymes responsible for these modifications could be key events in estrogen-dependent cancers such as breast cancer.

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. Nearly 30% of breast cancers are hormone-dependent, and these hormones comprising estrogens influence progression of breast cancers. It is now widely recognized that p53 may be the most frequently mutated protein in breast cancer. High levels of p53 protein are a common feature of many human malignant cancers. Given that, T47...
متن کاملPhytoestrogens: recent developments
Phytoestrogens are polyphenolic non-steroidal plant compounds with estrogen like activity exerted through estrogen receptors. These receptors are distributed in several tissues such as male and female reproductive systems, bones, cardiovascular and central nervous systems. These natural phenolic compounds include isoflavonoids, flavonoids, lignans and stilbenes. Isoflavonoids are the most studi...
