Chromatin transcription by progesterone-receptor complex in rabbit uterus. 1979

This study was designed to investigate the chromatin transcription in vitro by progesterone-receptor complex in the estrogen-primed rabbit uterus. RNA synthesis by the uterine chromatin was stimulated when progesterone-uterine cytosol complex was bound to the chromatin and the stimulation was dependent upon the dose of the bound progesterone-cytosol 8S complex and upon the incubation time of the complex in the presence of the chromatin. Either norethindrone- or dydrogesterone-uterine cytosol complex also stimulated the uterine chromatin transcription but the extent was less than that of progesterone complex. These results indicate that progesterone as well as synthetic progestogens can directly regulate chromatin transcription via progesterone receptor in the rabbit uterine cells.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011374 Progesterone The major progestational steroid that is secreted primarily by the CORPUS LUTEUM and the PLACENTA. Progesterone acts on the UTERUS, the MAMMARY GLANDS and the BRAIN. It is required in EMBRYO IMPLANTATION; PREGNANCY maintenance, and the development of mammary tissue for MILK production. Progesterone, converted from PREGNENOLONE, also serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of GONADAL STEROID HORMONES and adrenal CORTICOSTEROIDS.

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D011980 Receptors, Progesterone Specific proteins found in or on cells of progesterone target tissues that specifically combine with progesterone. The cytosol progesterone-receptor complex then associates with the nucleic acids to initiate protein synthesis. There are two kinds of progesterone receptors, A and B. Both are induced by estrogen and have short half-lives.

D005260 Female Females
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D012313 RNA A polynucleotide consisting essentially of chains with a repeating backbone of phosphate and ribose units to which nitrogenous bases are attached. RNA is unique among biological macromolecules in that it can encode genetic information, serve as an abundant structural component of cells, and also possesses catalytic activity.
