The AIB1 (amplified in breast cancer 1) protein
is a coactivator that potentiates the transcriptional activity of
nuclear hormone receptors, and its gene is amplified in a subset of
human breast cancers. Here we report a splice variant of
AIB1 mRNA that lacks the exon 3 sequence. We determined
that the AIB-
An Isoform of the Coactivator AIB1 That Increases Hormone
and Growth Factor Sensitivity Is Overexpressed in Breast Cancer*
3 mRNA encoded a 130-kDa protein that
lacks the NH2-terminal basic helix-loop-helix and a portion
of the PAS (Per-Arnt-Sim homology) dimerization domain. The 130-kDa
protein was detected in MCF-7 breast cancer cells at levels that were
5-10% of the full-length protein, whereas in non-transformed mammary
epithelium lines, the AIB-
3 protein was present at significantly
lower levels compared with the full-length AIB1. Consistent with this
finding, the abundance of AIB1-
3 mRNA was increased
in human breast cancer specimens relative to that in normal breast
tissue. To determine whether there were phenotypic changes associated
with the overexpression of the AIB-
3 isoform, we performed
functional reporter gene assays. These revealed that the ability of
AIB1-
3 to promote transcription mediated by the estrogen or
progesterone receptors was significantly greater than that of the
full-length protein. Surprisingly, the AIB1-
3 isoform was also more
effective than AIB1 in promoting transcription induced by epidermal
growth factor. Overexpression of AIB1-
3 may thus play an important
role in sensitizing breast tumor cells to hormone or growth factor stimulation.
