Abstract excerpt
Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) is a ligand-activated transcription factor. Upon estrogen stimulation, ERα recruits a number of coregulators, including both coactivators and corepressors, to the estrogen response elements, modulating gene activation or repression. Most coregulator complexes contain histone-modifying enzymes to control ERα target gene expression in an epigenetic manner. In addition to histones,...
