CARM1 (Coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase 1) is known to promote ERα mediated transcription in breast cancer cells. To further characterize the regulation of ERα mediated transcription by CARM1, we screened CARM1 interacting proteins by yeast-two hybrid. Here, we have identified an E3 ubiquitin ligase, DZIP3 (DAZ Interacting Protein 3), as a novel CARM1 binding protein. DZIP3 dependent ubiquitination of histone H2A has been associated with repression of transcription. However, ERα reporter gene assays demonstrated that DZIP3 enhanced ERα mediated transcription and cooperated synergistically with CARM1. Interaction with CARM1 was observed with the E3 ligase RING domain of DZIP3. The methyltransferase activity of CARM1 partially contributed to the synergy with DZIP3 for transcription activation, but the E3 ubiquitin ligase activity of DZIP3 was dispensable. DZIP3 also interacted with the C-terminal activation domain 2 of GRIP1 and enhanced the interaction between GRIP1 and CARM1. Depletion of DZIP3 by siRNA in MCF7 cells reduced estradiol induced gene expression of ERα target genes, GREB1 and pS2, and DZIP3 was recruited to the estrogen response elements of the same ERα target genes. These results indicate that DZIP3 is a novel coactivator of ERα target gene expression.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 October 2015.
All research outputs
#28,069,501
of 34,763,505 outputs
Outputs from Endocrinology
#13,367
of 14,954 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#238,858
of 322,400 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Endocrinology
#68
of 91 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 34,763,505 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 14,954 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.0. This one is in the 9th percentile – i.e., 9% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 322,400 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 91 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
