Abstract excerpt
Upon ligand binding the estrogen receptor alters its conformation, dimerizes, binds to estrogen response elements (EREs), recruits cofactors and initiates the formation of a transcriptional complex. In addition to estradiol binding, hormone receptor activity is modulated by phosphorylation at several key residues. Previous studies have shown that p21-activated kinase-1 (Pak1) and cyclic-AMP dependent protein...
