The interaction of ERalpha and ERbeta with ERE constitutes the initial step in the canonical nuclear E2 signaling in which E2-ERbeta is a weaker transactivator than E2-ERalpha. This perspective summarizes recent findings to discuss potential mechanisms that contribute to ER subtype-specific transcriptional responses.
