Cooperative Assembly of Androgen Receptor into a Nucleoprotein Complex That Regulates the Prostate-specific Antigen Enhancer
1 Sept 1999
Abstract excerpt
Prostate cancer is characterized by elevated serum levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA). PSA gene expression is controlled by an androgen-responsive transcriptional enhancer. Our study suggests that formation of a nucleoprotein complex, encompassing 170 base pairs of enhancer DNA, mediates androgen-responsive PSA enhancer activity. The complex is assembled by cooperative binding of androgen receptor to at...
