Abstract excerpt
The role of the carboxyl terminal F-domain of estrogen receptor (ERalpha) is uncertain, but evidence suggests that this region may impart internal restraint on ER dimerization in the presence of 17beta-estradiol (E2). To identify the C-terminal residues affecting human ERalpha activation, we created a series of deletions and examined E2 induced receptor dimerization and transactivation. Deletion of the final 24...
