AHR degradative functions. AHR participates in the cullin/RING ubiquitin ligase (CRL-type E3 ligase) complex involving chaperones [e.g., cullin 4b (CUL4B)] to promote ubiquitination of estrogen receptor (ER)-α or peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)-γ. Activation of AHR or HIFs induces transcription and translation of PARP7 (poly ADP-ribosyl transferase 7), also known as TIPARP (TCDD-inducible poly-ADP-ribose polymerase). TIPARP promotes polyADP-ribosylation and subsequent degradation of ER-α.
