TL;DR
Incubation of tritiated progesterone with rat or rabbit uterine cytosols resulted in the formation of macromolecular complexes having sedimentation coefficients between 6 and 8 S.
Abstract
Abstract Incubation of tritiated progesterone with rat or rabbit uterine cytosols resulted in the formation of macromolecular complexes having sedimentation coefficients between 6 and 8 S. The occurrence of this binding molecule, which appears to be a protein, was dependent upon the presence of in vivo estrogen.

Comparison of the chemical composition and immunochemical analysis of the untreated and reconstituted chromatins indicates that non-histone (acidic) proteins also can be switched from oviduct chromatin to the DNA of other tissues to form “hybrid” Chromatins.

The cytoplasmic progesterone-binding proteins of chick oviduct are shown to consist of two major 4 S fractions which occur in equal amounts, suggesting that the same class of hormonebinding site is involved on both A and B.

A functional role for these components in the induction of avidin synthesis by progesterone is supported by (a) the parallel order of effectiveness of various steroids in competing with progestersone binding and in potency as inducers, and (b) the analogous effects of treating the chicks with diethylstilbestrol on progester one-binding activity and on avidin induction.

The concept of “induced derepression” is proposed to explain how the nuclear transformation of 4S to a 5S estradiol-protein complex might initiate uterine growth.

The results suggest that the enhanced responsiveness of the oviduct to progester one following estrogen treatment may arise through quantitative and qualitative changes in progesterone receptor molecules.

After injection of 3 H-progesterone to estradiol primed castrated guinea pigs, a radioactive 6.7 S peak was found in the uterus cytosol by sucrose gradient ultracentrifugation in tris 10 mM and the receptor was different from the guinea pig ProgesterOne Binding Plasma Protein.

65 Citations1972J.L. McGuire, Charlene D. Bariso
Two different progesterone binding macromolecules have been identified in the cytosol fraction of rat and rabbit uteri and attempts to characterize the progestogen specific binder demonstrate that the binder is a protein with a molecular weight of about 85,000.

Comparative determination of high affinity binding activity for cortisol and corticosterone in the sera of various species by equilibrium dialysis indicated considerable differences, which were independent of the ratio of cortisol to cortic testosterone present in the blood plasma.

Analysis of tissular radioactivity and steroid metabolism showed that steroid incorporation (greater for progesterone) and steroid catabolism (faster for cortisol) were responsible of these binding differences.

Both progesterone and 3α-OH-5α-pregnan-20-one bind to 4-5S cytoplasmic protein(s), suggesting that the early metabolite, in addition to progester one, may play some role in regulating the progestational response of the uterus.

Homologous rat albumin and alpha globulin were labeled with 131I and their distribution measured in spayed rat uteri as a function of time after a single dose of estradiol and showed a consistent, but not significant, rise at 1 hr, a significant change at 2 hr, and further increases to maxima at 3–4 hr after estrogen injection.
