Abstract excerpt
Activation of the estrogen receptor (ER) by hormone involves at least two steps. First, hormone binding initially relieves repression, a property imposed on ER in cis by its ligand-binding domain (EBD). Subsequently, the derepressed ER binds specific genomic sites and regulates transcription. In addition to the natural hormone, ER binds a broad range of ligands that evoke a spectrum of responses ranging from full...
