To acquire the ability to fertilize, spermatozoa undergo complex, but at present poorly understood, activation processes. The intracellular rise of cAMP produced by the bicarbonate-dependent soluble… (More)
The ligand binding domain (LBD) and the amino-terminal, transactivation domain (TAD) of the androgen receptor (AR) were separately linked to the GAL4 DNA binding domain (DBD) and to the GAL4(TAD).… (More)
Limited proteolysis of in vitro produced human androgen receptor was used to probe the different conformations of the receptor after binding of androgens and several antiandrogens. The results… (More)
Androgen receptor mRNA was translated in vitro, and androgen- and antiandrogen-bound receptor complexes were studied using limited proteolytic digestion by trypsin. Partial proteolysis of… (More)
BACKGROUND
Activity of nomegestrol acetate (NOMAC), levonorgestrel (LNG), drospirenone (DRSP), dienogest (DNG) and progesterone on human steroid receptor transactivation was investigated. Ovulation… (More)
A 47 kDa glycoprotein, termed EP4, was purified from carrot cell suspension culture medium. An antiserum raised against EP4 also recognized a protein of 45 kDa that was ionically bound to the cell… (More)
Interactions between transcription factors are an important means of regulating gene transcription, leading to modifications in the pattern of gene expression and cell fate. In this study, we report… (More)
The Slc26 family is a conserved family of anion transporters. In the human, their physiological relevance was highlighted with the discovery of pathogenic mutations in several Slc26 transporters that… (More)
In whole cells, the effects of several androgens and antiandrogens on the in the induction of DNA binding for the human wild-type androgen receptor (AR) and a mutant receptor ARL (LNCaP mutation;… (More)
