What is Estrogen?
Female Hormone– Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle and
related female childbearing organs (such as the uterus and ovaries)
– Maintain healthy bones and heart – Required for development of the breast

The Human Estrogen Receptor
Belongs to the nuclear receptor superfamily
Regulates hormone action Can be divided into three separate
functional domains– Transactivation– DNA Binding– Ligand Binding

and thus may contribute to breast cancer

Introduction to Proteins
Proteins play a vital role in all living systems
Biological function of a protein is determined by its three dimensional structure– Ability to interact with molecules is
dependent on structure and conformational flexibility

Production of Hormone Binding Domain of the Estrogen Receptor
Start with Bacterial Plate transformed with pMAL-HBD
Inoculate Liquid culture with a single colony
Grow Overnight @ 37oC
Inoculate Large Liquid Culture and grow to OD600 = 0.8
Induce via IPTG and Grow Overnight @ 25oC

Purification of Hormone Binding Domain of the Estrogen Receptor
Use Lysozyme to rupture cells and release proteins
Spin to separate bacterial debris from HBD-MBP
Purify ER-MBP from bacterial proteins using affinity column chromatography
Collect Fractions & identify purified product

Purification of Hormone Binding Domain of the Estrogen Receptor
Fraction containing purified fusion protein
MBP HBD
The purified fusion protein is cleaved with hydroxylamine
Hydroxylamine
Separate the HBD from MBP via column chromatography (either size exclusion or ion-exchange)
Analyze and save purified HBD

Data Obtained
Can answer the questions:– “How tightly does a certain xenoestrogen
bind”?– “How fast does it bind”?– Can estrogen compete ‘off’ the
xenoestrogen?– Other chemically important information
