Estrogen is a hormone critical in the development, normal physiology and pathophysiology1 of numerous human tissues2. The effects of estrogen have traditionally been solely ascribed to estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) and more recently ERbeta, members of the soluble, nuclear ligand–activated family of transcription factors3. We have recently shown that the seven-transmembrane G protein–coupled receptor GPR30 binds estrogen with high affinity and resides in the endoplasmic reticulum, where it activates multiple intracellular signaling pathways4. To differentiate between the functions of ERalpha or ERbeta and GPR30, we used a combination of virtual and biomolecular screening to isolate compounds that selectively bind to GPR30. Here we describe the identification of the first GPR30-specific agonist, G-1 (1), capable of activating GPR30 in a complex environment of classical and new estrogen receptors. The development of compounds specific to estrogen receptor family members provides the opportunity to increase our understanding of these receptors and their contribution to estrogen biology.

Structure-function similarity between vitamin D3 and estrogens: Scope for effective drug design for vitamin D3 and estrogen dependent disorders Ray, S., Gupta, A.

Vitamin D3 and estradiol are essential hormones that are formed in the body from the same source cholesterol. Whereas vitamin D3 is required mainly for calcium regulation and bone formation, estradiol regulates the reproductive cycle in women and maintains female characteristics. Both hormones are involved in various other functions in the body and act through their respective receptors which belong to the nuclear receptor superfamily. This article discusses the major role of vitamin D3 and estradiol in disorders such as osteoporosis, cancer and calcium regulation. Their functional similarity may be due to their participation at different junctures of the same mechanistic pathway or else a crosstalk between the two hormones and their opposite receptors. This suggests the possibility of designing effective drugs that would interact with both vitamin D3 and estrogen receptors for the treatment of vitamin D3 and estrogen-dependent disorders.

Mol. Biol. v315, p.699-712 Subtle modulation of antibody-binding properties by protein engineering often lies with an accurate structural and energetic description of how an antigen is recognised.

Biol. Chem. v277, p.21862-21868 The activation function 2/ligand-dependent interaction between nuclear receptors and their coregulators is mediated by a short consensus motif, the so-called nuclear receptor (NR) box. Nuclear receptors exhibit distinct preferences for such motifs depending both on the bound ligand and on the NR box sequence. To better understand the structural basis of motif recognition, we characterized the interaction between estrogen receptor alpha and the NR box regions of the p160 coactivator TIF2....
