Estrogen receptor interaction with estrogen response elements.
The estrogen receptor (ER) is a ligand-activated enhancer protein that is a member of the steroid/nuclear receptor superfamily. Two genes encode mammalian ER: ERalpha and ERbeta. ER binds to specific DNA sequences called estrogen response elements (EREs) with high affinity and transactivates gene expression in response to estradiol (E(2)). The purpose of this review is to summarize how natural ...
متن کاملMouse Estrogen Receptor b Forms Estrogen Response Element- Binding Heterodimers with Estrogen Receptor a
The recent discovery that an additional estrogen receptor subtype is present in various rat tissues has advanced our understanding of the mechanisms underlying estrogen signaling. Here we report on the cloning of the cDNA encoding the mouse homolog of estrogen receptor-b (ERb) and the functional characterization of mouse ERb protein. ERb is shown to have overlapping DNA-binding specificity with...
متن کاملBinding of type II nuclear receptors and estrogen receptor to full and half-site estrogen response elements in vitro.
The mechanism by which retinoids, thyroid hormone (T3) and estrogens modulate the growth of breast cancer cells is unclear. Since nuclear type II nuclear receptors, including retinoic acid receptor (RAR), retinoid X receptor (RXR) and thyroid hormone receptor (TR), bind direct repeats (DR) of the estrogen response elements (ERE) half-site (5'-AGGTCA-3'), we examined the ability of estrogen rece...
متن کاملMelatonin decreases estrogen receptor binding to estrogen response elements sites on the OCT4 gene in human breast cancer stem cells
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) pose a challenge in cancer treatment, as these cells can drive tumor growth and are resistant to chemotherapy. Melatonin exerts its oncostatic effects through the estrogen receptor (ER) pathway in cancer cells, however its action in CSCs is unclear. Here, we evaluated the effect of melatonin on the regulation of the transcription factor OCT4 (Octamer Binding 4) by estro...
متن کاملDifferential Response of Estrogen Receptor a and Estrogen Receptor b to Partial Estrogen Agonists/Antagonists
The existence of two rather than one estrogen receptor, today characterized as estrogen receptor a (ERa) and estrogen receptor b (ERb), indicates that the mechanism of action of 17b-estradiol and related synthetic drugs is more complex than previously thought. Because the homology of amino acid residues in the ligand-binding domain (LBD) of ERb is high compared with those amino acid residues in...
