Journal ArticleDOI
Activation of the unliganded estrogen receptor by EGF involves the MAP kinase pathway and direct phosphorylation.
TL;DR: It is shown that EGF activates the ER by signaling through the MAPK pathway suggesting that MAPK directly phosphorylates the critical serine 118, and implies that the steroid‐independent activation of a variety of ER mutants, which arise during the malignant progression of breast tumors, may contribute to tamoxifen resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heat-shock protein 90, a chaperone for folding and regulation.
TL;DR: The large conformational flexibility of HSp90 and a multitude of dynamic co-chaperone complexes contribute to generating functional diversity, and allow Hsp90 to assist a wide range of substrates.
Journal ArticleDOI
The G protein-coupled receptor GPR30 mediates c-fos up-regulation by 17beta-estradiol and phytoestrogens in breast cancer cells.

TL;DR: It is discovered that 17β-estradiol (E2), and the two major phytoestrogens, genistein and quercetin, stimulate c-fos expression through ERα as well as through an ER-independent manner via the G protein-coupled receptor homologue GPR30.
Journal ArticleDOI
The glucocorticoid responses are shaped by molecular chaperones.
Iwona Grad,Didier Picard +1 more
TL;DR: The contributions of these molecular chaperones to folding, activation, intracellular transport, transcriptional regulation, and decay of the glucocorticoid receptor are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The unfolding stories of GPR30, a new membrane-bound estrogen receptor
TL;DR: The G protein-coupled and seven-transmembrane receptor, GPR30, is now widely recognized as an estrogen receptor (ER), hence its official new acronym GPER, and appears to mediate a wide range of responses to estrogen in a large variety of cell types.
