Binding of Estrogenic Compounds to Recombinant Estrogen Receptor-α: Application to Environmental Analysis
Estrogenic activity in environmental samples could be mediated through a wide variety of compounds and by various mechanisms. High-affinity compounds for estrogen receptors (ERs), such as natural or synthetic estrogens, as well as low-affinity compounds such as alkylphenols, phthalates, and polychlorinated biphenyls are present in water and sediment samples. Furthermore, compounds such as polyc...
متن کاملRNA inhibits estrogen receptor binding to DNA.
Cytosol from MTW9 rat mammary tumor contains a high molecular weight inhibitor of estrogen receptor binding to DNA. RNase treatment of crude preparations destroys inhibitory activity, whereas DNase or trypsin treatment are without affect, suggesting that some RNA molecule might be involved; in addition, RNA extracted from tumor cytosol was an effective inhibitor of estrogen receptor binding to ...
متن کاملWhole-Genome Cartography of Estrogen Receptor α Binding Sites
Using a chromatin immunoprecipitation-paired end diTag cloning and sequencing strategy, we mapped estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) binding sites in MCF-7 breast cancer cells. We identified 1,234 high confidence binding clusters of which 94% are projected to be bona fide ERalpha binding regions. Only 5% of the mapped estrogen receptor binding sites are located within 5 kb upstream of the transc...
متن کاملDifferential Ligand Binding Affinities of Human Estrogen Receptor-α Isoforms
Rapid non-genomic effects of 17β-estradiol are elicited by the activation of different estrogen receptor-α isoforms. Presence of surface binding sites for estrogen have been identified in cells transfected with full-length estrogen receptor-α66 (ER66) and the truncated isoforms, estrogen receptor-α46 (ER46) and estrogen receptor-α36 (ER36). However, the binding affinities of the membrane estrog...
متن کاملMelatonin blocks the activation of estrogen receptor for DNA binding.
The present study shows that melatonin prevents, within the first cell cycle, the estradiol-induced growth of synchronized MCF7 breast cancer cells. By using nuclear extracts of these cells, we first examined the binding of estradiol-estrogen receptor complexes to estrogen-responsive elements and found that the addition of estradiol to whole cells activates the binding of the estrogen receptor ...
