We present evidence that both corepressors SMRT and N-CoR exist in large protein complexes with estimated sizes of 1.5-2 MDa in HeLa nuclear extracts. Using a combination of conventional and… (More)
Estrogen receptor-alpha (ER alpha) is downregulated in the presence of its cognate ligand, estradiol (E2), through the ubiquitin proteasome pathway. Here, we show that ubiquitin proteasome function… (More)
Mixed antiestrogens, such as 4-hydroxytamoxifen (4HT), act as either partial agonists or antagonists of estrogen receptor (ER) function in a tissue-, cell-, and promoter-specific manner, suggesting… (More)
In this study, we found that the E6-associated protein (E6-AP/UBE3A) directly interacts with and coactivates the transcriptional activity of the human progesterone receptor (PR) in a… (More)

In eukaryotic cells, the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is the major mechanism for the targeted degradation of proteins with short half-lives. The covalent attachment of ubiquitin to lysine residues of… (More)

Nuclear receptors are ligand-inducible transcription factors which mediate the physiological effects of steroid, thyroid and retinoid hormones. By regulating the assembly of a transcriptional… (More)
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent stimulator of angiogenesis and a prognostic factor for many tumors including those of endocrine-responsive tissues such as the breast and uterus.… (More)
Curcumin, a dietary spice from turmeric, is known to be anti-inflammatory, anticarcinogenic, and antithrombotic. Here, we studied the mechanism of the antiplatelet action of curcumin. We show that… (More)
It is fairly well accepted that the presence of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PgR) identifies breast cancer patients with a lower risk of relapse and better overall survival. But… (More)
Trisomy and tetrasomy of distal chromosome 15q have rarely been reported. Although most of the described patients have some learning difficulties and are overgrown, the phenotype associated with… (More)
