MiyabenolC和KobophenolA与雌激素受体的结合位点

iyabenolC (MiyC)和kobophenolA (KobA)是两种新型的植物雌激素。为了探讨MiyC和KobA与雌激素受体 (ER)的结合部位 ,运用计算机辅助分子模拟构建它们与ER结合的空间模型 ,找出结合位点 ,设计ER的两个突变体M1ER(ERM517AG52 1D)和M2ER(ERE353GR394 G) ;运用PCR技术将ER与MiyC或KobA的结合位点进行突变 ;运用报告基因检测实验 ,检测MiyC和KobA对突变的ER是否具有激活功能。结果显示MiyC激活M1ER使之促下游基因转录的作用下降 ,KobA对M1ER无激活作用 ;MiyC和KobA对M2ER无激活作用。以上结果显示MiyC和KobA与ER的结合位点可能为ER的Glu353 、Arg394 、Met517和Gly52 1。

The Binding Sites of Estrogen Receptor for Miyabenol C and Kobophenol A

To examine the binding sites of miyabenol C ( Miy C ) and kobophenol A ( Kob A ) with estrogen receptor ( ER ), computer modeling was applied to determine 3D structure of Miy C and Kob A. Molecular docking of the components to ER was carried out to find the binding sites between them. PCR mutagenesis was used to change the structure of ER cDNA. After the mutated sites were confirmed by DNA sequencing, report gene assay was used to study the effects of Miy C and Kob A on the trans-activating ability of ER. Results indicated that the effect of Miy C on the trans-activating ability of mutant 1 of ERM1ER (ER M 517A G 521D)] was decreased, and Kob A had no stimulating effects on the trans-activating ability of M1ER. Miy C and Kob A had no stimulating effects on the trans-activating ability of mutant 2 of ER M2ER (ER E 353G R 394G)]. Therefore, the ER sites for Miy C and Kob A may be located at Glu 353, Arg 394, Met 517 and Gly 521.
