A structural biologist's view of the oestrogen receptor.

Here we review the results that have emerged from our structural studies on the oestrogen receptor ligand-binding domain (ER-LBD). The effects of agonists and antagonists on the structure of ERalpha- and ERbeta-LBDs are examined. In addition, the findings from structural studies of ER-LBD in complex...

description Here we review the results that have emerged from our structural studies on the oestrogen receptor ligand-binding domain (ER-LBD). The effects of agonists and antagonists on the structure of ERalpha- and ERbeta-LBDs are examined. In addition, the findings from structural studies of ER-LBD in complex with peptide fragments corresponding to the NR-box II and III modules of the p160 coactivator TIF2 are discussed in the context of the assembly of ER:coactivator complexes. Together these studies have broadened our understanding of ER function by providing a unique insight into ER's ligand specificity, it's ability to interact with coactivators and the structural changes that underlie receptor agonism and antagonism.
