Differential localization and activity of the A- and B-forms of the human progesterone receptor using green fluorescent protein chimeras.
Molecular endocrinology (Baltimore, Md.) 1999;
13(
3):.
Subcellular localization and transcriptional activity of green fluorescent protein-progesterone receptor A and B chimeras (GFP-PRA and GFP-PRB) were examined in living mammalian cells. Both GFP-PRA and B chimeras were found to be similar in transcriptional activity compared with their non-GFP counterparts. GFP-PRA and PRA were both weakly active, while GFP-PRB and PRB gave a 20- to 40-fold induction using a reporter gene containing the full-length mouse mammary tumor virus long-terminal repeat linked to the luciferase gene (pLTRluc). Using fluorescence microscopy, nuclear/cytoplasmic distributions for the unliganded and hormone activated forms of GFP-PRA and GFP-PRB were characterized. The two forms of the receptor were found to have distinct intracellular distributions; GFP-PRA was found to be more nuclear than GFP-PRB in four cell lines examined. The causes for and implications of this differential localization of the A and B forms of the human PR are discussed.
