Activation of the Estrogen Receptor Through Phosphorylation by Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase

TL;DR: The phosphorylation of the human estrogen receptor (ER) serine residue at position 118 is required for full activity of the ER activation function 1 (AF-1), which is modulated by the phosphorylated Ser118 through the Ras-MAPK cascade of the growth factor signaling pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mice lacking the vitamin D receptor exhibit impaired bone formation, uterine hypoplasia and growth retardation after weaning

TL;DR: It is reported here that in VDR null mutant mice, no defects in development and growth were observed before weaning, irrespective of reduced expression of vitamin D target genes, which establishes a critical role for VDR in growth, bone formation and female reproduction in the post-weaning stage.
Journal ArticleDOI

Memory Reconsolidation and Extinction Have Distinct Temporal and Biochemical Signatures

TL;DR: The temporal dynamics of memory reconsolidation are dependent on the strength and age of the memory, such that younger and weaker memories are more easily reconsolidated than older and stronger memories.
Journal ArticleDOI

CREB required for the stability of new and reactivated fear memories

TL;DR: It is found that CREB is crucial for the consolidation of long-term conditioned fear memories, but not for encoding, storage or retrieval of these memories.
Journal ArticleDOI

A far upstream estrogen response element of the ovalbumin gene contains several half-palindromic 5′-TGACC-3′ motifs acting synergistically

TL;DR: An estrogen-responsive enhancer element (DH3 ERE) in the estrogen-induced DNAase I-hypersensitive region III of the chicken ovalbumin gene is identified, which is located approximately 3.3 kb upstream from the mRNA start site and does not contain palindromic ERE.
