Abstract excerpt
We identified a somatic mutation in estrogen receptor-alpha (ERalpha) in breast cancer causing a lysine to arginine transition (K303R) resulting in hypersensitivity to estrogen, altered associations with coactivators and corepressors and altered posttranslational modifications of ERalpha. We have developed a transgenic mouse expressing the K303R mutant ERalpha under control of the mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV)...
