Endogenous Ligands for Nuclear Receptors: Digging Deeper

Abstract: Nuclear receptors (NRs) are hormone-sensing transcription factors that translate dietary or endocrine signals into changes in gene expression. Therefore, the adoption of orphan NRs through the identification of their endogenous ligands is a key element for our understanding of their biology. In this minireview, we give an update on recent progress in regard to endogenous ligands for a cluster of NRs with high sequence homology, namely peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors ␣ and ␥, Rev-erb␣, and related r… Show more

“…Since the realization that PPAR ␥ plays a pivotal role in adipocyte development, several attempts have been made to identify the agonists activating PPAR ␥ during adipogenesis ( 37 ). Shortly after the cloning of PPAR ␥ , a derivative of arachidonic acid, 15-deoxy-⌬ 12,14 -prostaglandin J2, was suggested to be the endogenous ligand orchestrating adipose conversion ( 38,39 ).…”

“…75 Of these nutrient-responsive transcription factors, the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) family has been particularly well studied. 76,77 As lipid-responsive genes, with effects on lipoprotein metabolisms and inflammation, the PPARs have been recognized and extensively studied for their relevance to cardiometabolic disease.…”

“…Such structural specificity is also likely to extend to endogenous PPAR and RXR agonists. 13 The contact between a PPAR or RXR ligand and its cognate receptor's LBD induces a conformational change in the AF2 domain, facilitating the recruitment of coactivators, like CBP or p300, and release of corepressors, like nuclear receptor corepressor (NCoR) or SMRT. The assembly of these accessory molecules is a key determinant of a nuclear receptor's transcriptional activity.…”
