Estrogen receptor a (ER alpha), as a ligand-dependent transcription factor, mediates 17 beta-estradiol (E2) effects. ERa is a modular protein containing a DNA binding domain (DBD) and transcription activation domains (AD) located at the amino-and carboxyl-termini. The interaction of the E2-activated ERa dimer with estrogen response elements (EREs) of genes constitutes the initial step in the ERE-dependent signaling pathway necessary for alterations of cellular features. We previously constructed monomeric transcription activators, or monotransactivators, assembled from an engineered ERE-binding module (EBM) using the ER alpha-DBD and constitutively active ADs from other transcription factors. Monotransactivators modulated cell proliferation by activating and repressing ERE-driven gene expressions that simulate responses observed with E2-ER alpha. We reasoned here that integration of potent heterologous repression domains (RDs) into EBM could generate monotransrepressors that alter ERE-bearing gene expressions and cellular proliferation in directions opposite to those observed with E2-ER alpha or monotransactivators. Consistent with this, monotransrepressors suppressed reporter gene expressions that emulate the ERE-dependent signaling pathway. Moreover, a model monotransrepressor regulated DNA synthesis, cell cycle progression and proliferation of recombinant adenovirus infected ER-negative cells through decreasing as well as increasing gene expressions with polar directions compared with E2-ER alpha or monotransactivator. Our results indicate that an 'activator' or a 'repressor' possesses both transcription activating/enhancing and repressing/decreasing abilities within a chromatin context. Offering a protein engineering platform to alter signal pathway-specific gene expressions and cell growth, our approach could also be used for the development of tools for epigenetic modifications and for clinical interventions wherein multigenic de-regulations are an issue.

Assessment of 17beta-estradiol-estrogen receptor alpha complex-mediated changes in genome-wide methylation and gene expression profiles
User, Sırma Damla; Muyan, Mesut; Department of Biology (2016)
17β-estradiol (E2), the most potent estrogen hormone, induces cellular responses primarily through Estrogen Receptor-alpha (ERα), which is a transcription factor. Interfering E2 signaling indicates that E2 is mitogenic for cells, exemplified by MCF7 cells derived from breast adenocarcinoma, synthesizing ERα endogenously. Studies used exogenous expression of ERα in ERα-negative cell lines to examine structural/functional properties of the receptor. What was unexpected from these studies is the observation th...
In vivo distribution of beta 2 glycoprotein I under various pathophysiologic conditions
Agostinis, Chiara; BİFFİ, Stefania; GARROVO, Chiara; DURİGUTTO, Paolo; LORENZON, Andrea; Bek, Alpan; Bulla, Roberta; Grossi, Claudia; Borghi, Maria O.; Meroni, PierLuigi; Tedesco, Francesco (2011-10-13)
In vitro studies have documented beta 2 glycoprotein I (beta 2GPI) binding to endothelial cells (ECs) and trophoblast using antiphospholipid antibodies. The in vivo binding of beta 2GPI to these cells and the conditions that favor their interaction have not been investigated. We analyzed the in vivo distribution of cyanine 5.5-labeled beta 2GPI in mice and evaluated the effect of pregnancy and circulating antibodies on its tissue localization. The signal was detected in the liver by whole body scan and ex v...
Establishment of cell lines with inducible expression OF shRNA for an estrogen responsive gene
Karakaya, Burcu; Beklioğlu, Meryem; Department of Biology (2018)
Estrogen hormones, primarily 17β-estradiol (E2) as the primary circulating estrogen, are involved in the homeodynamic regulation of various tissues/organs including mammary gland within which estrogen receptor α (ERα) conveys E2 signaling. The binding of E2 to ERα activates the receptor to regulate estrogen responsive gene expressions. Previous microarray and gene expression studies of our laboratory indicate that CXXC5 is an estrogen responsive gene regulated by ERα. Our ongoing studies also indicate that ...
Modulation of human flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 activity by tricyclic antidepressants and other agents: Importance of residue 428
Adalı, Orhan; Philpot, RM (Elsevier BV, 1998-10-01)
Human flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3) is subject to modulation by tricyclic antidepressants and other agents. Imipramine activates FMO3-catalyzed metabolism of methimazole at all substrate concentrations tested. This distinguishes FMO3 from rabbit FMO1 and FMO2, which are activated at high substrate concentration and inhibited at low substrate concentration, and pig FMO1, which is inhibited at all substrate concentrations. The response of FMO3 is also unique in that chlorpromazine is markedly more ...
Immunoadjuvant action of plasmid DNA in liposomes
Gürsel, Mayda; Ozkan, M; Özcengiz, Gülay (1999-03-17)
Bacterial DNA and oligodeoxynucleotides containing immunostimulatory sequences with a CpG motif stimulated a Th1 type response in vivo. The adjuvant action of a non-coding plasmid DNA derived from pRc/CMV HBS (encoding the S region of hepatitis B surface antigen, HBsAg) in mice was investigated. The role of methylation on the adjuvanticity of the plasmid as well as the effect of vaccine formulation employed on the outcome of antigen-specific humoral and cellular responses were also studied. The results demo...
