Research Backgrounds

Function:

Nuclear hormone receptor. The steroid hormones and their receptors are involved in the regulation of eukaryotic gene expression and affect cellular proliferation and differentiation in target tissues. Ligand-dependent nuclear transactivation involves either direct homodimer binding to a palindromic estrogen response element (ERE) sequence or association with other DNA-binding transcription factors, such as AP-1/c-Jun, c-Fos, ATF-2, Sp1 and Sp3, to mediate ERE-independent signaling. Ligand binding induces a conformational change allowing subsequent or combinatorial association with multiprotein coactivator complexes through LXXLL motifs of their respective components. Mutual transrepression occurs between the estrogen receptor (ER) and NF-kappa-B in a cell-type specific manner. Decreases NF-kappa-B DNA-binding activity and inhibits NF-kappa-B-mediated transcription from the IL6 promoter and displace RELA/p65 and associated coregulators from the promoter. Recruited to the NF-kappa-B response element of the CCL2 and IL8 promoters and can displace CREBBP. Present with NF-kappa-B components RELA/p65 and NFKB1/p50 on ERE sequences. Can also act synergistically with NF-kappa-B to activate transcription involving respective recruitment adjacent response elements; the function involves CREBBP. Can activate the transcriptional activity of TFF1. Also mediates membrane-initiated estrogen signaling involving various kinase cascades. Isoform 3 is involved in activation of NOS3 and endothelial nitric oxide production. Isoforms lacking one or several functional domains are thought to modulate transcriptional activity by competitive ligand or DNA binding and/or heterodimerization with the full-length receptor. Essential for MTA1-mediated transcriptional regulation of BRCA1 and BCAS3. Isoform 3 can bind to ERE and inhibit isoform 1.

PTMs:

Phosphorylated by cyclin A/CDK2 and CK1. Phosphorylation probably enhances transcriptional activity. Self-association induces phosphorylation. Dephosphorylation at Ser-118 by PPP5C inhibits its transactivation activity. Phosphorylated by LMTK3 in vitro.

Glycosylated; contains N-acetylglucosamine, probably O-linked.

Ubiquitinated; regulated by LATS1 via DCAF1 it leads to ESR1 proteasomal degradation. Deubiquitinated by OTUB1.

Dimethylated by PRMT1 at Arg-260. The methylation may favor cytoplasmic localization. Demethylated by JMJD6 at Arg-260.

Palmitoylated (isoform 3). Not biotinylated (isoform 3).

Palmitoylated by ZDHHC7 and ZDHHC21. Palmitoylation is required for plasma membrane targeting and for rapid intracellular signaling via ERK and AKT kinases and cAMP generation, but not for signaling mediated by the nuclear hormone receptor.

Subcellular Location:

Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Cell membrane>Peripheral membrane protein>Cytoplasmic side.
Note: A minor fraction is associated with the inner membrane.

Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Cell membrane>Peripheral membrane protein>Cytoplasmic side. Cell membrane>Single-pass type I membrane protein.
Note: Associated with the inner membrane via palmitoylation (Probable). At least a subset exists as a transmembrane protein with a N-terminal extracellular domain.

Nucleus. Golgi apparatus. Cell membrane.
Note: Colocalizes with ZDHHC7 and ZDHHC21 in the Golgi apparatus where most probably palmitoylation occurs. Associated with the plasma membrane when palmitoylated.

Interacts with CCDC62 in the presence of estradiol/E2; this interaction seems to enhance the transcription of target genes. Interacts with NR2C1; the interaction prevents homodimerization of ESR1 and suppresses its transcriptional activity and cell growth. Interacts with DNAAF4. Interacts with PRMT2. Interacts with PI3KR1 or PI3KR2, SRC and PTK2/FAK1. Interacts with RBFOX2. Interacts with STK3/MST2 only in the presence of SAV1 and vice-versa. Binds to CSNK1D. Interacts with NCOA2; NCOA2 can interact with ESR1 AF-1 and AF-2 domains simultaneously and mediate their transcriptional synergy. Interacts with DDX5. Interacts with NCOA1; the interaction seems to require a self-association of N-terminal and C-terminal regions. Interacts with ZNF366, DDX17, NFKB1, RELA, SP1 and SP3. Interacts with NRIP1 (By similarity). Interacts with GPER1; the interaction occurs in an estrogen-dependent manner. Interacts with CLOCK and the interaction is stimulated by estrogen. Interacts with BCAS3. Interacts with TRIP4 (ufmylated); estrogen dependent. Interacts with LMTK3; the interaction phosphorylates ESR1 (in vitro) and protects it against proteasomal degradation. Interacts with CCAR2 (via N-terminus) in a ligand-independent manner. Interacts with ZFHX3. Interacts with SFR1 in a ligand-dependent and -independent manner. Interacts with DCAF13, LATS1 and DCAF1; regulates ESR1 ubiquitination and ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation. Interacts (via DNA-binding domain) with POU4F2 (C-terminus); this interaction increases the estrogen receptor ESR1 transcriptional activity in a DNA- and ligand 17-beta-estradiol-independent manner (By similarity). Interacts with ESRRB isoform 1. Interacts with UBE3A and WBP2. Interacts with GTF2B. Interacts with RBM39 (By similarity). In the absence of hormonal ligand, interacts with TACC1.

Family&Domains:

Composed of three domains: a modulating N-terminal domain, a DNA-binding domain and a C-terminal ligand-binding domain. The modulating domain, also known as A/B or AF-1 domain has a ligand-independent transactivation function. The C-terminus contains a ligand-dependent transactivation domain, also known as E/F or AF-2 domain which overlaps with the ligand binding domain. AF-1 and AF-2 activate transcription independently and synergistically and act in a promoter- and cell-specific manner. AF-1 seems to provide the major transactivation function in differentiated cells.

Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR3 subfamily.
