Estrogen Receptor-α Binds p53 Tumor Suppressor Protein Directly and Represses Its Function
9 Feb 2006
Abstract excerpt
Estrogen receptor-alpha (ERalpha) promotes proliferation of breast cancer cells, whereas tumor suppressor protein p53 impedes proliferation of cells with genomic damage. Whether there is a direct link between these two antagonistic pathways has remained unclear. Here we report that ERalpha binds directly to p53 and represses its function. The activation function-2 (AF-2) domain of ERalpha and the C-terminal...
