Abstract excerpt
We show that some transcriptionally inactive human estrogen receptor (ER) mutants can be activated by 17 beta-estradiol (E2), and sometimes by antiestrogens, in the presence of elevated levels of intracellular cAMP. ER-deficient Chinese hamster ovary or 3T3 mouse fibroblast cells were transfected with mutant ERs (the point mutant L540Q, the frameshift mutant S554fs, or the carboxy-terminal truncated receptor...
