Estrogen receptors ERalpha and ERbeta are members of the family of nuclear hormone receptors and act as ligand-inducible transcriptional factors, which regulate the expression of target genes on binding to cognate response elements. We report here the characterization of steroid receptor coactivator-3 (SRC-3), a coactivator of nuclear receptor transcription that is a member of a family of steroid receptor coactivators that includes SRC-1 and transcription intermediate factor-2. SRC-3 enhanced ERalpha and progesterone receptor-stimulated gene transcription in a ligand-dependent manner, but stimulation of ERbeta-mediated transcription was not observed. Protein-protein interaction assays, including real-time interaction analyses with BIAcore, demonstrated that the affinity of the ERalpha interaction with SRC-3 was much higher than that observed for the ERbeta interaction with SRC-3. Mutational analysis suggests a potential interplay between the transactivation function-1 and -2 domains of ERalpha and SRC-3. Furthermore, an intrinsic transactivation function was observed in the C-terminal half of SRC-3. Finally, SRC-3 was differentially expressed in various tissues and, among several tumor cells examined, was most abundant in the nuclear fraction of MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Therefore, SRC-3, a third member of a family of steroid receptor coactivators, has a distinct tissue distribution and intriguing selectivity between ERalpha and ERbeta.

D011485 Protein Binding The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments. Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein
D011960 Receptors, Estrogen Cytoplasmic proteins that bind estrogens and migrate to the nucleus where they regulate DNA transcription. Evaluation of the state of estrogen receptors in breast cancer patients has become clinically important. Estrogen Receptor,Estrogen Receptors,Estrogen Nuclear Receptor,Estrogen Receptor Type I,Estrogen Receptor Type II,Estrogen Receptors Type I,Estrogen Receptors Type II,Receptor, Estrogen Nuclear,Receptors, Estrogen, Type I,Receptors, Estrogen, Type II,Nuclear Receptor, Estrogen,Receptor, Estrogen
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.

D014018 Tissue Distribution Accumulation of a drug or chemical substance in various organs (including those not relevant to its pharmacologic or therapeutic action). This distribution depends on the blood flow or perfusion rate of the organ, the ability of the drug to penetrate organ membranes, tissue specificity, protein binding. The distribution is usually expressed as tissue to plasma ratios. Distribution, Tissue,Distributions, Tissue,Tissue Distributions
D014158 Transcription, Genetic The biosynthesis of RNA carried out on a template of DNA. The biosynthesis of DNA from an RNA template is called REVERSE TRANSCRIPTION. Genetic Transcription
