Domain

The CUE domain mediates interaction with PGR and ESR1.

Function

Down-regulates ESR1 protein levels through the ubiquitination-proteasome pathway, regardless of the presence of 17 beta-estradiol. Also involved in 17 beta-estradiol-induced ESR1 degradation. Controls PGR protein levels through a similar mechanism.

Involvement in disease

May predict the clinical outcome of tamoxifen therapy of breast cancer patients. Patients with tumors that highly express CUEDC2 do not respond to tamoxifen treatment as effectively as those with tumors with low expression.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the CUEDC2 family.

Tissue specificity

Significantly up-regulated in breast tumor tissues compared with matched adjacent normal tissues (at protein level). Levels inversely correlate with ESR1 in breast cancers and are lower in low-grade tumors compared to high-grade tumors.
