摘要

Estrogen is a hormone of critical importance in the development and maintenance of normal reproductive tissues and has been implicated in initiation of mammary carcinogenesis. Estrogen's actions are mediated through an intracellular estrogen receptor (ER), which interacts with estrogen response elements (EREs) to bring about changes in transcription of estrogen-responsive genes. Although it is clear that the ER-ERE interaction is a critical link in the chain of events that lead to transcription activation, the mechanisms by which transcriptional changes occur remain unclear. We present evidence that ERE sequence and ligand act as allosteric modulators of ER conformation and that these conformational changes most likely play a role in regulating transcription of estrogen-responsive genes.
