TLDR
This work has defined the 13 bp palindrome GGTCACAGTGACC as a minimal functional estrogen responsive element (ERE), which binds estrogen receptor preferentially in vitro and point mutations within the ERE decrease its affinity for the estrogen receptor and result in a complete loss of estrogen inducibility.Abstract:
Sequences located upstream of the transcription initiation site of the Xenopus vitellogenin A2 (vit A2) gene contain a hormone dependent enhancer that confers estrogen control to the heterologous thymidine kinase (tk) promoter. As a minimal functional estrogen responsive element (ERE), we have defined the 13 bp palindrome GGTCACAGTGACC. This ERE binds estrogen receptor preferentially in vitro. Although the ERE shares some structural features with the glucocorticoid responsive element (GRE) it is distinct from this element since it neither binds glucocorticoid receptor in vitro nor does it confer glucocorticoid inducibility to a fusion gene. Point mutations within the ERE decrease its affinity for the estrogen receptor and result in a complete loss of estrogen inducibility.read more

Identification and Functional Characterization of Estrogen Response Elements in the Human Herpesvirus 8 Genome
TL;DR: A novel interaction between infection with human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) and the human estrogen receptor alpha XbaI polymorphism is reported which is associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer in an Afrocaribbean population from Tobago and may help to explain the differential risk of KS.

Role of oestrogen receptor phosphorylation in the growth of endocrine-responsive and anti-oestrogen-resistant breast cancer cell lines
TL;DR: The ability of ERa to regulate AR mRNA expression suggested the existence of a self propagating autocrine growth regulatory loop in TAM-R cells, and a role for SI 18 phosphorylation in mediating ERa transcriptional activity was investigated.
