Abstract excerpt
When exogenous human estrogen receptor (hER) binds with estrogen, it can activate transcription of target genes in yeast cells. The estrogen dose-response expression patterns in yeast are very similar to those in human cells. This implies that hER may function in yeast cells via mechanisms similar to those in human cells. In this study, Saccharomyces cerevisiae was used to dissect mechanisms of hER-activated...
