SummaryThe interaction of estrogen receptor α (ERα) with the consensus LXXLL motifs of transcriptional coactivators provides an entry for functional ERα inhibition. Here, synthetic cell-permeable LXXLL peptide probes are brought forward that allow evaluation of the interaction of specific recognition motifs with ERα in the context of the cell. The probes feature a nona-arginine tag that facilitates cellular entry and induces probe localization in nucleoli. The nucleoli localization provides an explicit tool for evaluating the LXXLL motif interaction with ERα. The probes compete with coactivators, bind ERα, and recruit it into the nucleoli. The physical inhibition of the ERα-coactivator interaction by the probes is shown to be correlated with the inhibition of ERα-mediated gene transcription. This chemical biology approach allows evaluating the ERα-coactivator interaction and inhibitor binding directly in cells.
