Proteasome-mediated proteolysis modulates
the cellular concentration of estrogen receptor-
(ER
) and is
induced by treatment of cells with 17
-estradiol. Herein, we show
that multiple receptor agonists, including 17
-estradiol and estriol
as well as the antagonist ICI-182780, stimulate proteasome-dependent
proteolysis of ER
in a process that requires ligand binding to the
receptor. Proteolysis of receptor depends on ligand concentration, and
there exists a direct correlation between ligand-binding affinity and
the half-maximal dose of ligand required to stimulate receptor
degradation. Furthermore, introduction of a point mutation into the
receptor ligand-binding pocket yields a stable receptor resistant to
proteolysis. Interestingly, although all ligands stimulate receptor
degradation, the extent to which overall ER levels are affected varies
with each ligand and is not related to ligand-binding affinity or
activation of transcription. These results demonstrate ligand-specific
regulation of ER
proteolysis, and they introduce the concept that
cellular receptor concentration is governed not only at the level of
induction of proteolysis but also by the efficiency with which the
receptor is degraded.
