Reproductive tissue-selective actions of progesterone receptors.
The steroid hormone, progesterone, plays a central coordinate role in diverse events associated with female reproduction. In humans and other vertebrates, the biological activity of progesterone is mediated by modulation of the transcriptional activity of two progesterone receptors, PR-A and PR-B. These receptors arise from the same gene and exhibit both overlapping and distinct transcriptional...
متن کاملAllosteric control of regulated scaffolding in membrane-associated guanylate kinases.
Membrane-associated guanylate kinases (MAGUKs) organize protein complexes at specific cellular sites by regulating interactions with their COOH-terminal guanylate kinase-like domains (GKs). Negative regulation of MAGUK GKs by an adjacent Src homology 3 domain (SH3) is critical for function, yet the mechanism is poorly understood. To gain insight into this process, we investigated SH3 regulation...
متن کاملProgesterone Receptor Scaffolding Function in Breast Cancer
1 Progesterone receptors (PR) are critical mediators of mammary gland development and 2 contribute to breast cancer progression. Progestin-induced rapid activation of 3 cytoplasmic protein kinases leads to selective regulation of growth-promoting genes by 4 phospho-PR species. Herein, we show that phosphorylation of PR Ser81 is ck25 dependent and progestin-regulated in intact cells, but also oc...
متن کاملMembrane Associated Progesterone Receptors: Promiscuous Proteins with Pleiotropic Functions – Focus on Interactions with Cytochromes P450
Membrane-associated progesterone receptors (MAPR) are a group of four rather small, partially homologous proteins, which share a similar non-covalent heme-binding domain that is related to cytochrome b5, a well-known functional interaction partner of microsomal cytochrome P450 (CYP) monooxygenase systems. Apart from their structural similarities the four proteins progesterone membrane component...
متن کاملExpression of Estrogen and Progesterone Receptors in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
Background: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), occurs mostly in women and sex hormones may play a role in the pathogenesis and clinical course. The objective of this study was to determine the status and prevalence of estrogen and progesterone receptors in PTC with regard to age, gender, tumor size and lymph node involvement. Methods: Immunohistochemical stains were performed on 92 tissue bl...
