| Research Abstract |
According to our previous findings of endogenous ligands for PPARg, we hypothesized that extracellular signaling molecules regulate PPARg activity through not only their intracellular metabolites acting as ligands, but also intracellular signals evoked by membrane associated receptors.
To analyze the temporal and spatial regulation of PPARg activity, we developed novel reporter system, by which six independent transcriptional activities were simultaneously detected. We found that expression of phosphorylation induced stabilization of PPARg proteins by itself and blocked nuclear export of PPARg protein only in the presence of SDP-1. We also analyzed the effects of PPARg mutation identified in German obese subjects on the phoshphorylation-dependent regulation, and found that P85Q mutation blocked the effects of SDP-1. Thus, we conclude that phosphorylation signal regulates PPARg activity in the distinct mechanism from that of ligands.
