Overexpression of steroid receptor coactivator 3 (SRC-3) is associated with an increased incidence of breast cancer. A recent study shows that SRC-3 is protected from proteasomal degradation by atypical protein kinase C (aPKC)-mediated phosphorylation in an estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha)-dependent manner. This finding provides a novel mechanism for coupling increased SRC-3 expression with enhanced estrogen-dependent cellular proliferation.
类固醇受体辅激活因子3(SRC-3)的过表达与乳腺癌发病率增加有关。最近一项研究表明,在雌激素受体α(ERα)依赖性方式下,非典型蛋白激酶C(aPKC)介导的磷酸化可保护SRC-3免受蛋白酶体降解。这一发现为将SRC-3表达增加与雌激素依赖性细胞增殖增强联系起来提供了一种新机制。
