Abstract excerpt
Human estrogen receptor (hER) mutants which activate transcription in the absence of hormone were isolated by random mutagenesis and genetic selection in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Twenty constitutive hER mutants defining ten different alleles were selected. All sequence changes resulted in truncations of the receptor within a 123-amino-acid (aa) segment (aa 270 to 393) spanning the D region and the...
