Peroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptors
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are members of the ligand-activated nuclear hormone receptor superfamily of transcription factors that includes receptors for steroids, thyroid hormone, retinoic acid, and vitamin D. Upon activation in the cytoplasm, PPARs heterodimerize with retinoid X receptors (RXR) and form a complex that translocates to the nucleus and regulates gene expr...
متن کاملStructural determinants of ligand binding selectivity between the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors.
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are transcriptional regulators of glucose, lipid, and cholesterol metabolism. We report the x-ray crystal structure of the ligand binding domain of PPAR alpha (NR1C1) as a complex with the agonist ligand GW409544 and a coactivator motif from the steroid receptor coactivator 1. Through comparison of the crystal structures of the ligand bind...
متن کاملRegulation of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors by E6-Associated Protein
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear receptors (NRs) that regulate genes involved in lipid and glucose metabolism. PPAR activity is regulated by interactions with cofactors and of interest are cofactors with ubiquitin ligase activity. The E6-associated protein (E6-AP) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase that affects the activity of other NRs, although its effects on PPARs have ...
متن کاملStructural Insights into Human Peroxisome Proliferator Activated Receptor Delta (PPAR-Delta) Selective Ligand Binding
Peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs δ, α and γ) are closely related transcription factors that exert distinct effects on fatty acid and glucose metabolism, cardiac disease, inflammatory response and other processes. Several groups developed PPAR subtype specific modulators to trigger desirable effects of particular PPARs without harmful side effects associated with activation of ...
متن کاملRegulation of dectin-1-mediated dendritic cell activation by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma ligand troglitazone.
Dectin-1 is the major receptor for fungal β-glucans. The activation of Dectin-1 leads to the up-regulation of surface molecules on dendritic cells (DCs) and cytokine secretion. Furthermore, Dectin-1 is important for the recruitment of leukocytes and the production of inflammatory mediators. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) and its ligands, cyclopentenone prostaglandins or t...
