Polarity and Specific Sequence Requirements of Peroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptor (PPAR)/Retinoid X Receptor Heterodimer Binding to DNA A FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS OF THE MALIC ENZYME GENE PPAR RESPONSE ELEMENT

TLDR
It is demonstrated that only MEp and not MEd is able to bind PPAR/retinoid X receptor (RXR) heterodimers and mediate peroxisome proliferator signaling.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors: nuclear control of metabolism.

TL;DR: This work has shown that direct expression of PPAR mRNAs in the absence of a specific carrier gene results in down-regulation in the activity of other PPARs, and these properties are consistent with those of a “spatially aggregating substance”.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Mechanisms of Action of PPARs

TL;DR: The current state of knowledge regarding the molecular mechanisms of PPAR action and the involvement of the PPARs in the etiology and treatment of several chronic diseases is presented.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α target genes

TL;DR: In this article, the involvement of PPARalpha in peroxisomal and mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation, microsomal fatty acid hydroxylation, lipoprotein, bile and amino acid metabolism, glucose homeostasis, biotransformation, inflammation control, hepato-carcinogenesis and other pathways, through a detailed analysis of the different known or putative PPARα target genes.

mPPAR gamma 2: tissue-specific regulator of an adipocyte enhancer.

TL;DR: In this paper, an enhancer from the 5'-flanking region of the adipocyte P2 (aP2) gene that directs high-level adipocyte-specific gene expression in both cultured cells and transgenic mice was identified.

Differential expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs): tissue distribution of PPAR-alpha, -beta, and -gamma in the adult rat

TL;DR: This work presents the expression patterns of the PPAR subtypes in the adult rat, determined by in situ hybridization using specific probes for PPAR-alpha, -beta and -gamma, and by immunohistochemistry using a polyclonal antibody that recognizes the three rat PPar subtypes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Convergence of 9- cis retinoic acid and peroxisome proliferator signalling pathways through heterodimer formation of their receptors

TL;DR: The coupling of the peroxisome proliferator and retinoid signalling pathways is demonstrated and evidence for a physiological role for 9-cis retinoic acid in modulating lipid metabolism is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

CAT constructions with multiple unique restriction sites for the functional analysis of eukaryotic promoters and regulatory elements

TL;DR: In the promoterless construction pBLCAT3 eight unique restriction sites are suitable for insertion of different eukaryotic promoters at the 5' end of the CAT gene, enabling the excision of the intact fusion gene from the prokaryotic vector.
