Estrogen receptor beta/genistein complex
Introduction
|
This is a sample scene created with SAT to by Group, and another to make of the protein.
The estrogen receptor beta is one of the two isoforms of the estrogen receptor, a ligand-activated transcription factor, which regulates the biological effects of the steroid hormone 17 beta-estradiol, or estrogen, in both males and females.
Overall Structure
|
Estrogen receptor beta and genistein complex consists of 4 chains. The phytoestrogen, genistein, is completely buried in the hydrophobic core of the protein. Its bicyclic form allows the ligand to hydrogen bond on opposite sides with the hydroxyls of the histidine groups on the receptor. (His475)
Estrogen receptor beta contains several domains for different functions. Its N-terminal domain (NTD) consists most of random coils and a small portion of helices and sheets. This lack of structure allows it to recruit and bond proper interaction partners. Within the NTD, the A and B domains can transactivate transcription without binding estrogen, and the C domain or the DNA binding domain (DBD) that binds estrogen response elements of DNA. The D domain is a hinge region connecting DBD to the E domain, ligand binding domain (LBD), at the C terminal.
