The steroid hormones and their receptors are involved in the regulation of eukaryotic gene expression and affect cellular proliferation and differentiation in target tissues. Ligand-dependent nuclear transactivation involves either direct homodimer binding to a palindromic estrogen response element (ERE) sequence or association with other DNA-binding transcription factors, such as AP-1/c-Jun, c-Fos, ATF-2, Sp1 and Sp3, to mediate ERE-independent signaling. Ligand binding induces a conformational change allowing subsequent or combinatorial association with multiprotein coactivator complexes through LXXLL motifs of their respective components. Mutual transrepression occurs between the estrogen receptor (ER) and NF-kappa-B in a cell-type specific manner. Decreases NF-kappa-B DNA-binding activity and inhibits NF-kappa-B-mediated transcription from the IL6 promoter and displace RELA/p65 and associated coregulators from the promoter. Recruited to the NF-kappa-B response element of the CCL2 and IL8 promoters and can displace CREBBP. Present with NF-kappa-B components RELA/p65 and NFKB1/p50 on ERE sequences. Can also act synergistically with NF-kappa-B to activate transcription involving respective recruitment adjacent response elements; the function involves CREBBP. Can activate the transcriptional activity of TFF1. Also mediates membrane-initiated estrogen signaling involving various kinase cascades. Isoform 3 is involved in activation of NOS3 and endothelial nitric oxide production. Isoforms lacking one or several functional domains are thought to modulate transcriptional activity by competitive ligand or DNA binding and/or heterodimerization with the full length receptor. Isoform 3 can bind to ERE and inhibit isoform 1. Publication Abstract from PubMed BACKGROUND: Structural studies of protein-DNA complexes have tended to give the impression that DNA recognition requires a unique molecular interface. However, many proteins recognize DNA targets that differ from what is thought to be their ideal target sequence. The steroid hormone receptors illustrate this problem in recognition rather well, since consensus DNA targets are rare. RESULTS: Here we describe the structure, at 2.6 A resolution, of a complex between a dimer of the DNA-binding domain from the human oestrogen receptor (ERDBD) and a non-consensus DNA target site in which there is a single base substitution in one half of the palindromic binding site. This substitution results in a 10-fold increase in the dissociation constant of the ERDBD-DNA complex. Comparison of this structure with a structure containing a consensus DNA-binding site determined previously, shows that recognition of the non-consensus sequence is achieved by the rearrangement of a lysine side chain so as to make an alternative base contact. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that proteins adapt to recognize different DNA sequences by rearranging side chains at the protein-DNA interface so as to form alternative patterns of intermolecular contacts. The oestrogen receptor recognizes an imperfectly palindromic response element through an alternative side-chain conformation.,Schwabe JW, Chapman L, Rhodes D Structure. 1995 Feb 15;3(2):201-13.
