Résumé

Estrogen receptor (ER) alpha and beta mediate estrogen actions in target cells through transcriptional control of target gene expression. For 17beta-estradiol-induced transactivation, the N-terminal A/B domain (AF-1) and the C-terminal E/F domain (AF-2) of ERs are required. Ligand binding is considered to induce functional synergism between AF-1 and AF-2, but the molecular mechanism remains unknown. To clarify this synergism, we studied the role of reported AF-2 coactivators, p300/CREB binding protein, steroid receptor coactivator-1/transcriptional intermediary factor-2 (SRC-1/TIF2) family proteins and thyroid hormone receptor-associated protein-220/(vitamin D3 receptor-interacting protein- 205-(TRAP220/DRIP205) on the AF-1 activity in terms of synergism with the AF-2 function. We found that neither any of the SRC-1/TIF2 family coactivators nor TRAP220/DRIP205 is potent, whereas p300 potentiates the AF-1 function of both human ERalpha and human ERbeta. Direct interactions of p300 with the A/B domains of ERalpha and ERbeta were observed in an in vitro glutathione S-transferase pull-down assay in accordance with the interactions in yeast and mammalian two-hybrid assays. Furthermore, mutations in the p300 binding sites (56-72 amino acids in ERalpha and 62-72 amino acids in ERbeta) in the A/B domains caused a reduction in ligand-induced transactivation functions of both ERalpha and ERbeta. Thus, these findings indicate that ligand-induced functional synergism between AF-1 and AF-2 is mediated through p300 by its direct binding to the A/B regions of ERalpha and ERbeta.
