Abstract

A fraction of the nuclear estrogen receptor α (ERα) is localized to the plasma membrane region of 17β-estradiol (E2) target cells. We previously reported that ERα is a palmitoylated protein. To gain insight into the molecular mechanism of ERα residence at the plasma membrane, we tested both the role of palmitoylation and the impact of E2 stimulation on ERα membrane localization. The cancer cell lines expressing transfected or endogenous human ERα (HeLa and HepG2, respectively) or the ERα nonpalmitoylable Cys447Ala mutant transfected in HeLa cells were used as experimental models. We found that palmitoylation of ERα enacts ERα association with the plasma membrane, interaction with the membrane protein caveolin-1, and nongenomic activities, including activation of signaling pathways and cell proliferation (i.e., ERK and AKT activation, cyclin D 1 promoter activity, DNA synthesis). Moreover, E2 reduces both ERα palmitoylation and its interaction with caveolin-1, in a time- and dose-dependent manner. These data point to the physiological role of ERα palmitoylation in the receptor localization to the cell membrane and in the regulation of the E2-induced cell proliferation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
