T1 |
0-138 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Identification of a specific molecular repressor of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma Coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1alpha). |
T2 |
139-278 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The nuclear co-activator PGC-1alpha is a pivotal regulator of numerous pathways controlling both metabolism and overall energy homeostasis. |
T3 |
279-428 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Inappropriate increases in PGC-1alpha activity have been linked to a number of pathological conditions including heart failure and diabetes mellitus. |
T4 |
429-534 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Previous studies (Puigserver, P., Adelmant, G., Wu, Z., Fan, M., Xu, J., O'Malley, B., and Spiegelman, B. |
T5 |
535-663 |
Sentence |
denotes |
M. (1999) Science 286, 1368-1371) have demonstrated an inhibitory domain within PGC-1alpha that limits transcriptional activity. |
T6 |
664-851 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Using this inhibitory domain in a yeast two-hybrid screen, we demonstrate that PGC-1alpha directly associates with the orphan nuclear receptor estrogen-related receptor-alpha (ERR-alpha). |
T7 |
852-939 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The binding of ERR-alpha to PGC-1alpha requires the C-terminal AF2 domain of ERR-alpha. |
T8 |
940-1129 |
Sentence |
denotes |
PGC-1alpha and ERR-alpha have a similar pattern of expression in human tissues, with both being present predominantly in organs with high metabolic needs such as skeletal muscle and kidney. |
T9 |
1130-1260 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Similarly, we show that in mice physiological stimuli such as fasting coordinately induces PGC-1alpha and ERR-alpha transcription. |
T10 |
1261-1476 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We also demonstrate that under normal conditions PGC-1alpha is located within discrete nuclear speckles, whereas the expression of ERR-alpha results in PGC-1alpha redistributing uniformly throughout the nucleoplasm. |
T11 |
1477-1605 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Finally, we show that the expression of ERR-alpha can dramatically and specifically repress PGC-1alpha transcriptional activity. |
T12 |
1606-1761 |
Sentence |
denotes |
These results suggest a novel mechanism of transcriptional control wherein ERR-alpha can function as a specific molecular repressor of PGC-1alpha activity. |
T13 |
1762-1949 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In addition, our results suggest that other co-activators might also have specific repressors, thereby identifying another layer of combinatorial complexity in transcriptional regulation. |
