Structural and Biochemical Basis for the Binding Selectivity of PPARg to PGC-1a

Disease[PPARG_HUMAN] Note=Defects in PPARG can lead to type 2 insulin-resistant diabetes and hyptertension. PPARG mutations may be associated with colon cancer. Defects in PPARG may be associated with susceptibility to obesity (OBESITY) [MIM:601665]. It is a condition characterized by an increase of body weight beyond the limitation of skeletal and physical requirements, as the result of excessive accumulation of body fat.[1] Defects in PPARG are the cause of familial partial lipodystrophy type 3 (FPLD3) [MIM:604367]. Familial partial lipodystrophies (FPLD) are a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders characterized by marked loss of subcutaneous (sc) fat from the extremities. Affected individuals show an increased preponderance of insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia.[2] [3] Genetic variations in PPARG can be associated with susceptibility to glioma type 1 (GLM1) [MIM:137800]. Gliomas are central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells and comprise astrocytomas, glioblastoma multiforme, oligodendrogliomas, and ependymomas. Note=Polymorphic PPARG alleles have been found to be significantly over-represented among a cohort of American patients with sporadic glioblastoma multiforme suggesting a possible contribution to disease susceptibility. Function[PPARG_HUMAN] Receptor that binds peroxisome proliferators such as hypolipidemic drugs and fatty acids. Once activated by a ligand, the receptor binds to a promoter element in the gene for acyl-CoA oxidase and activates its transcription. It therefore controls the peroxisomal beta-oxidation pathway of fatty acids. Key regulator of adipocyte differentiation and glucose homeostasis. Acts as a critical regulator of gut homeostasis by suppressing NF-kappa-B-mediated proinflammatory responses.[4] [5] [6] [PRGC1_HUMAN] Transcriptional coactivator for steroid receptors and nuclear receptors. Greatly increases the transcriptional activity of PPARG and thyroid hormone receptor on the uncoupling protein promoter. Can regulate key mitochondrial genes that contribute to the program of adaptive thermogenesis. Plays an essential role in metabolic reprogramming in response to dietary availability through coordination of the expression of a wide array of genes involved in glucose and fatty acid metabolism.[7] [8] [9] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe functional interaction between the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) and its coactivator PGC-1alpha is crucial for the normal physiology of PPARgamma and its pharmacological response to antidiabetic treatment with rosiglitazone. Here we report the crystal structure of the PPARgamma ligand-binding domain bound to rosiglitazone and to a large PGC-1alpha fragment that contains two LXXLL-related motifs. The structure reveals critical contacts mediated through the first LXXLL motif of PGC-1alpha and the PPARgamma coactivator binding site. Through a combination of biochemical and structural studies, we demonstrate that the first LXXLL motif is the most potent among all nuclear receptor coactivator motifs tested, and only this motif of the two LXXLL-related motifs in PGC-1alpha is capable of binding to PPARgamma. Our studies reveal that the strong interaction of PGC-1alpha and PPARgamma is mediated through both hydrophobic and specific polar interactions. Mutations within the context of the full-length PGC-1alpha indicate that the first PGC-1alpha motif is necessary and sufficient for PGC-1alpha to coactivate PPARgamma in the presence or absence of rosiglitazone. These results provide a molecular basis for specific recruitment and functional interplay between PPARgamma and PGC-1alpha in glucose homeostasis and adipocyte differentiation.
