PR and GR post-translational modifications and associated ligand-dependent (LD) and ligand-independent (LI) biological outcomes.

Steroid Receptor PTM Kinase Pathway Biological Outcome
PR S81 CK2 Proliferation, survival, migration, transcriptional regulation (Hagan 2011)
PR S294 (Phosphorylation) MAPK, CDK Nuclear localization (LI; Qui & Lange, 2003), turnover, transcriptional regulation (LD; Daniel 2009, Shen 2001), proliferation (Daniel 2007), stemness (Truong 2019), senescence (Diep 2013), cell cycle progression (Moore 2000)
PR S345 (Phosphorylation) MAPK, CDK2 Proliferation, migration (Faivre 2008, Dressing 2013)
PR K388 (SUMOylation) --- Transcriptional regulation, slows PR turnover (Abdel-Hafiz 2002, Daniel 2007)
PR S400 (Phosphorylation) CDK2 Cell cycle progression, LI transcription, (Zhang 1997, Pierson-Mullany 2004, Wardell 2010)
PR S676 (Phosphorylation) CDK2 Transcriptional activity (Knotts 2001)
PR K638-K641 (KxKK, Acetylation consensus sequence) --- Disrupts nuclear translocation and delays MAPK-induced Ser345 and Ser294 phosphorylation (Daniel 2010)
GR S134 (Phosphorylation) p38 Response to stress-activating stimuli/p38 MAPK, hypoxia (Regan Anderson 2016), stress-induced survival, migration, and stemness (Perez Kerkvliet 2020)
