Abstract:
The CAD gene is trifunctional and expresses carbamoylphosphate synthetaseaspattate casbamyltransferaseditiydoorotase, wbich are required for pyrimidine biosynthesis. TCDD inhibited E2-induced expression of CAD gene and also downregulated E2-mediated transactivation of CAD gene promoter constructs in transient transfection assays. Moreover the CAD gene promoter construct with a mutant DRE was also inhibited by TCDD suggesting that DRE is not important in Ahr mediated inhibition of CAD gene expression. Using fluorescence resonance energy transfer FRET, we show that TCDD inhibits the direct interaction between ERa and Spi that is observed in presence of E2.
