TRIM33 Is a Co-Regulator of Estrogen Receptor Alpha.

ABSTRACT: Estrogen receptor alpha (ER)-positive breast cancer is responsible for over 60% of breast cancer cases in the U.S. Among patients diagnosed with early-stage ER+ disease, 1/3 will experience recurrence despite treatment with adjuvant endocrine therapy. ER is a nuclear hormone receptor responsible for estrogen-driven tumor growth. ER transcriptional activity is modulated by interactions with coregulators. Dysregulation of the levels of these coregulators is involved in the development of endocrine resistance. To identify ER interactors that modulate transcriptional activity in breast cancer, we utilized biotin ligase proximity profiling of ER interactomes. Mass spectrometry analysis revealed tripartite motif containing 33 (TRIM33) as an estrogen-dependent interactor of ER. shRNA knockdown sh
