Abstract
We identified genes regulated by the unliganded and liganded forms of ERalpha and ERbeta in U2OS cells. Microarray data demonstrated that virtually no gene regulation occurred with unliganded ERalpha, whereas many genes were regulated by estradiol (E(2)). These results demonstrated that ERalpha requ...

Abstract
We have previously identified a K303R ERalpha mutation within the hinge region of ERalpha. This mutation results in an altered posttranslational regulation and increased in vitro growth in the presence of low estrogen concentrations. We sought to determine if cells expressing this mutant ERalpha wou...

Abstract
Variations in the estrogenic activity of the phytoestrogen-rich plant, Pueraria mirifica, were determined with yeast estrogen screen (YES) consisting of human estrogen receptors (hER) hERalpha and hERbeta and human transcriptional intermediary factor 2 (hTIF2) or human steroid receptor coactivator 1...

Abstract
We show that the interaction between AR and MAGE-11 is mediated by AR NH(2)-terminal FXXLF motif binding to a highly conserved MAGE-11 F-box in the MAGE homology domain, and is modulated by serum stimulation of mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylation of MAGE-11 Ser-174. The MAGE-11-dependen...

Abstract
The three homologous members of the p160 SRC family (SRC1, SRC2 and SRC3) mediate the transcriptional functions of nuclear receptors and other transcription factors, and are the most studied of all the transcriptional co-activators. Recent work has indicated that the SRCgenes are subject to amplific...

Abstract
We recently reported a novel role for Foxa2 in bile acid metabolism. The winged helix transcription factor Foxa2 is required to prevent intrahepatic cholestasis and liver injury in mice fed a cholic acid-enriched diet. Here, we use functional genomics to study how Foxa2 regulates its targets in a ch...

Abstract
We examined the consequences of deletion of SRC-2 on bone using SRC-2 knock out (KO) mice. Loss of SRC-2 resulted in increased bone mass, with SRC-2 KO mice having 80% higher trabecular bone volume as compared with wild type mice. SRC-2 KO mice also had a marked decrease (by 50%) in bone marrow adip...

Abstract
It was found that constitutive activation of PSA expression was the result of sustained occupancy by the AR at the regulatory region of this gene. This stable AR loading was not blocked by the AR antagonist bicalutamide. Furthermore, androgen-resistant CaP cells highly expressed both AR and the p160...

Abstract
We have identified the transcriptional coactivator SRC-2 as a regulator of fasting hepatic glucose release, a function that SRC-2 performs by controlling the expression of hepatic G6Pase. SRC-2 modulates G6Pase expression directly by acting as a coactivator with the orphan nuclear receptor RORalpha....

We now report that several point mutants in the LBD have little effect on the binding of either agonist steroid. However, these same mutations dramatically alter the A max and/or EC 50 of exogenous and endogenous genes in a manner that depends on steroid structure. In some cases, Dex is no longer a...
