ER¦Á, a critical transcriptional factor for breast cancer proliferation, is regulated by a complex binding repertoire that includes coactivators and corepressors. Here, we identified a novel class of ER¦Á coregulator called CAC1. The CoRNR box of CAC1 was required for the binding to and inactivation of ER¦Á. CAC1 also associated with histone demethylase LSD1 and suppressed LSD1-enhanced ER¦Á activity. CAC1 impaired recruitment of ER¦Á and LSD1 to the ER¦Á-responsive promoter, leading to greater H3K9me3 accumulation. This effect was reversed by CAC1
depletion. Finally, CAC1 increased paclitaxel-induced cell death in ER¦Á-positive MCF7
cells, which are paclitaxel-
resistant. Overall, our study provides the first evidence that CAC1, associated with LSD1, functions as an ER¦Á corepressor, implicating a potential antitumor target in ER¦Á-positive breast cancer.
