title: [The binding sites of estrogen receptor for miyabenol C and kobophenol A].
abstract: 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 ER [M1ER (ER M(517)AG(521)D)] 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(353)GR(394)G)]. Therefore, the ER sites for Miy C and Kob A may be located at Glu(353), Arg(394), Met(517) and Gly(521).
