Abstract excerpt
Mutation of tyrosine 537 (Y537) of the human estrogen receptor-alpha (hERalpha) produces receptors having a range of constitutive activity, which suggests that this residue modulates the conformational changes of the receptor. We investigated the effect of several mutations at this position, to phenylalanine (Y537F), to serine (Y537S), and to glutamic acid (Y537E), on the hormone-binding properties of the...
