Following the discovery of coactivators for nuclear receptors and the identification of a significant number of progesterone receptor (PR) target genes, our understanding of PR action has extended from its normally recognized functions to a wide variety of seemingly unlinked biological processes. Recent advances in defining the action of PR coactivators has revealed important mechanisms involving multiple layers of regulation in PR- mediated transcription. In this review, we will discuss the current understanding of PR physiology and the molecular basis of coactivator function in PR signaling events. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
