A Hierarchical Network of Transcription Factors Governs Androgen Receptor-Dependent Prostate Cancer Growth

TL;DR: The majority of AR binding regions contain noncanonical AR-responsive elements (AREs) and are identified as a cis-regulatory target of AR action in TMPRSS2, a gene fused to ETS transcription factors in the majority of prostate cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Covalent modification of the androgen receptor by small ubiquitin-like modifier 1 (SUMO-1)

TL;DR: It is shown that AR is covalently modified by SUMO-1 (sumoylated) in an androgen-enhanced fashion and the principal acceptor site in the N-terminal domain of AR is identified, suggesting that reversible sumoylation is a mechanism for regulation of steroid receptor function.
Journal ArticleDOI

PIAS Proteins Modulate Transcription Factors by Functioning as SUMO-1 Ligases

TL;DR: The results imply that PIAS proteins function as SUMO-1-tethering proteins and zinc finger-dependent E3 SUMO protein ligases, and these properties are likely to explain their ability to modulate the activities of various transcription factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interaction between the Amino- and Carboxyl-terminal Regions of the Rat Androgen Receptor Modulates Transcriptional Activity and Is Influenced by Nuclear Receptor Coactivators *

TL;DR: Interplay between the N-terminal region and LBD of rAR results in the formation of a transactivation complex that includes coregulators and that is mandatory for optimal activation of androgen-induced promoters.
