Popis: | Using a novel approach that detects changes in the conformation of ERalpha, we studied the efficacy of anti-estrogens to inactivate ERalpha under different experimental conditions. We show that phosphorylation of serine-305 in the hinge region of ERalpha by protein kinase A (PKA) induced resistance to tamoxifen. Tamoxifen bound but then failed to induce the inactive conformation, invoking ERalpha-dependent transactivation instead. PKA activity thus induces a switch from antagonistic to agonistic effects of tamoxifen on ERalpha. In clinical samples, we found that downregulation of a negative regulator of PKA, PKA-RIalpha, was associated with tamoxifen resistance prior to treatment. Activation of PKA by downregulation of PKA-RIalpha converts tamoxifen from an ERalpha inhibitor into a growth stimulator, without any effect on ICI 182780 (Fulvestrant). |
