Simulating androgen receptor selection in designer yeast.

ABSTRACT: Androgen receptor (AR) mutation is closely associated with prostate cancer (PCa) and is one of the mechanisms of resistance to PCa therapies such as AR antagonists. Although sequencing technologies like next-generation sequencing (NGS) contributes to the high-throughput and precise detection of AR mutations carried by PCa patients, the lack of interpretations of these clinical genetic variants has still been a roadblock for PCa-targeted precision medicine. Here, we established a designer yeast reporter assay to simulate natural androgen receptor (AR) selection using AR antagonists. Yeast HIS3 gene transactivation was associated with the ligand-induced recruitment of steroid receptor coactivator-1 (SRC-1) by AR mutants, where yeast growth in histidine-free medium was determined as th
