CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF ESTROGEN RECEPTOR BETA COMPLEXED WITH GENISTEIN
Overview
We present X-ray crystallographic and molecular modeling studies of, estrogen receptors-alpha and -beta complexed with the estrogen, receptor-beta-selective phytoestrogen genistein, and coactivator-derived, NR box peptides containing an LXXLL motif. We demonstrate that the ligand, binding mode is essentially identical when genistein is bound to both, isoforms, despite the considerably weaker affinity of this ligand for, estrogen receptor-alpha. In addition, we examine subtle differences, between binding site residues, providing an explanation for why genistein, is modestly selective for the beta isoform. To this end, we also present, the results of quantum chemical studies and thermodynamic arguments that, yield insight to the nature of the interactions leading to estrogen, receptor-beta selectivity. The importance of our analysis to, structure-based drug design is discussed.
