Abstract excerpt
Functional analyses, performed with the estrogen receptor (ER) isolated from different sources or produced with various expression systems, led to contradictory results concerning the role of estrogen (E2) and antiestrogens in ER DNA binding. Here we report the DNA-binding properties of the human ER and show that the wild type ER (HEG0) binds in vitro to an estrogen response element (ERE) as a dimer, irrespective...
