Genetic screens were performed across PPARG to study how disruptive mutations across the full coding sequence affect function. An alternative translational start site in PPARG generates a truncated isoform, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) M135, which lacks the N-terminal activation function 1 (AF-1) domain and shows increased agonist-induced transactivation of target genes. In human carriers of rare PPARG variants, AF-1 domain-disrupting genetic variants increase agonist-induced PPARγ activity and decrease metabolic syndrome severity. Targeting the AF-1 domain is a potential therapeutic strategy for insulin sensitization.
对过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体γ(PPARG)进行了全基因筛选,以研究整个编码序列中的破坏性突变如何影响其功能。PPARG中的一个替代翻译起始位点产生了一种截短的异构体,即过氧化物酶体增殖物激活受体γ(PPARγ)M135,它缺乏N端激活功能1(AF-1)结构域,并显示出激动剂诱导的靶基因反式激活增加。在罕见PPARG变体的人类携带者中,破坏AF-1结构域的基因变体增加了激动剂诱导的PPARγ活性,并降低了代谢综合征的严重程度。靶向AF-1结构域是一种潜在的胰岛素增敏治疗策略。
