Abstract
Cyclin D1 is overexpressed in a significant percentage of human breast cancers, particularly in those that also express the estrogen receptor (ER). We and others have demonstrated previously that experimentally overexpressed cyclin D1 can associate with the ER and stimulate its transcriptional functions in the absence of estrogen. This effect is separable from the established function of cyclin D1 as a regulator of cyclin-dependent kinases. Here, we demonstrate that cyclin D1 can also interact with the histone acetyltransferase, p300/CREB-binding protein-associated protein (P/CAF), thereby facilitating an association between P/CAF and the ER. Ectopic expression of P/CAF potentiates cyclin D1-stimulated ER activity in a dose- dependent manner. This effect is largely dependent on the acetyltransferase activity of P/CAF. These results suggest that cyclin D1 may trigger the activation of the ER through the recruitment of P/CAF, by providing histone acetyltransferase activity and, potentially, links to additional P/CAF- associated transcriptional coactivators.
