The mouse estrogen receptor is phosphorylated upon estrogen binding at multiple serine residues located mainly between residues 121 and 599. Phosphorylation is progressively reduced in mutant receptors that are defective in estrogen- and DNA-binding activities, suggesting that it occurs in stages, initially as a consequence of hormone binding and subsequently after DNA binding. Phosphopeptide maps of the receptor expressed in the presence of estrogen or 4-hydroxytamoxifen are similar, suggesting that the effects of this antiestrogen on transcriptional activity are not mediated by differences in phosphorylation. Although it is unclear whether phosphorylation is a prerequisite for transcriptional activity, the similarity in the phosphopeptide maps of the wild-type receptor and the transcriptionally defective mutant confirm that phosphorylation does not occur simply as a consequence of estrogen-dependent transcriptional activation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008024 Ligands A molecule that binds to another molecule, used especially to refer to a small molecule that binds specifically to a larger molecule, e.g., an antigen binding to an antibody, a hormone or neurotransmitter binding to a receptor, or a substrate or allosteric effector binding to an enzyme. Ligands are also molecules that donate or accept a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with the central metal atom of a coordination complex. (From Dorland, 27th ed) Ligand
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D010766 Phosphorylation The introduction of a phosphoryl group into a compound through the formation of an ester bond between the compound and a phosphorus moiety. Phosphorylations
