Publication Abstract from PubMed

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs), composed of the alpha/delta/gamma subtypes, are ligand-activated nuclear receptors/transcription factors that sense endogenous fatty acids or therapeutic drugs to regulate lipid/glucose metabolism and oxidative stress. PPAR forms a multiprotein complex with a retinoid X receptor and corepressor complex in an unliganded/inactive state, and ligand binding induces the replacement of the corepressor complex with the coactivator complex to initiate the transcription of various genes, including the metabolic and antioxidant ones. We investigated the processes by which the corepressor is replaced with the coactivator or in which two coactivators compete for the PPARalpha/delta/gamma-ligand-binding domains (LBDs) using single- and dual-emission fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) assays. Single-FRET revealed that the respective PPARalpha/delta/gamma-selective agonists (pemafibrate, seladelpar, and pioglitazone) induced the dissociation of the two corepressor peptides, NCoR1 and NCoR2, from the PPARalpha/delta/gamma-LBDs and the recruitment of the two coactivator peptides, CBP and TRAP220. Meanwhile, dual-FRET demonstrated that these processes are simultaneous and that the four coactivator peptides, CBP, TRAP220, PGC1alpha, and SRC1, were competitively recruited to the PPARalpha/delta/gamma-LBDs with different preferences upon ligand activation. Furthermore, the five newly obtained cocrystal structures using X-ray diffraction, PPARalpha-LBDs-NCoR2/CBP/TRAP220/PGC1alpha and PPARgamma-LBD-NCoR2, were co-analyzed with those from our previous studies. This illustrates that these coactivators bound to the same PPARalpha-LBD loci via their consensus LXXLL motifs in the liganded state; that NCoR1/NCoR2 corepressors bound to the same loci via the IXXXL sequences within their consensus LXXXIXXXL motifs in the unliganded state; and that ligand activation induced AF-2 helix 12 formation that interfered with corepressor binding and created a binding space for the coactivator. These PPARalpha/gamma-related biochemical and physicochemical findings highlight the coregulator dynamics on limited PPARalpha/delta/gamma-LBDs loci.
