The ternary complex factor protein ELK1 is an independent prognosticator of disease recurrence in prostate cancer

Abstract

Both hormone‐sensitive and castration‐ and enzalutamide‐resistant prostate cancers (PCa) depend on the ternary complex factor (TCF) protein ELK1 to serve as a tethering protein for the androgen receptor (AR) to activate a critical set of growth genes. The two sites in ELK1 required for AR binding are conserved in other members of the TCF subfamily, ELK3 and ELK4. Here we examine the potential utility of the three proteins as prognosticators of disease recurrence in PCa.
