T-Cell Death Associated Gene 51 Is a Novel Negative Regulator of PPAR? That Inhibits PPAR?RXR? Heterodimer Formation in Adipogenesis.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ? (PPAR?) is the master transcriptional regulator in adipogenesis. PPAR? forms a heterodimer with another nuclear receptor, retinoid X receptor (RXR), to form an active transcriptional complex, and their transcriptional activity is tightly regulated by the association with either coactivators or corepressors. In this study, we identified T-cell death-associated gene 51 (TDAG51) as a novel corepressor of PPAR?-mediated transcriptional regulation. We showed that TDAG51 expression is abundantly maintained in the early stage of adipogenic differentiation. Forced expression of TDAG51 inhibited adipocyte differentiation in 3T3-L1 cells. We found that TDAG51 physically interacts with PPAR? in a ligand-independent manner. In deletion mutant analyses, large portions of the TDAG51 domains, including the pleckstrin homology-like, glutamine repeat and proline-glutamine repeat domains but not the proline-histidine repeat domain, are involved in the interaction with the region between residues 140 and 506, including the DNA binding domain, hinge, ligand binding domain and activation function-2 domain, in PPAR?. The heterodimer formation of PPAR?-RXR? was competitively inhibited in a ligand-independent manner by TDAG51 binding to PPAR?. Thus, our data suggest that TDAG51, which could determine adipogenic cell fate, acts as a novel negative regulator of PPAR? by blocking RXR? recruitment to the PPAR?-RXR? heterodimer complex in adipogenesis.
