General annotation (Comments)

Function

Transcriptional coactivator for steroid receptors and nuclear receptors. Greatly increases the transcriptional activity of PPARG and thyroid hormone receptor on the uncoupling protein promoter. Can regulate key mitochondrial genes that contribute to the program of adaptive thermogenesis. Plays an essential role in metabolic reprogramming in response to dietary availability through coordination of the expression of a wide array of genes involved in glucose and fatty acid metabolism. Ref.1 Ref.5

Subunit structure

Homooligomer By similarity. Binds MYBBP1A, which inhibits transcriptional activation by this protein. Interacts with LRPPRC By similarity. Interacts with PRDM16. Interacts with LPIN1. Interacts with PML. Ref.4 Ref.6 Ref.7 Ref.9 Ref.11

Subcellular location

Nucleus. NucleusPML body Ref.11.

Tissue specificity

Brown adipose tissue, heart, kidney and brain. Ref.1

Induction

Dramatically induced in brown adipose tissue and skeletal muscle by exposure of animals to cold. Up-regulated in brown adipose tissue of obese leptin-deficient (ob/ob) and leptin-unresponsive (db/db) mice. Leptin is required for normal basal and cold-stimulated expression in brown adipose tissue and hyperleptinemia rapidly up-regulates its expression. Induced in muscle by exercise. Ref.1 Ref.3 Ref.12

Post-translational modification

Phosphorylation by AMPK in skeletal muscle increases activation of its own promoter. Phosphorylated by CLK2. Ref.8 Ref.10

Heavily acetylated by GCN5 and biologically inactive under conditions of high nutrients. Deacetylated by SIRT1 in low nutrients/high NAD conditions.

Sequence similarities

Contains 1 RRM (RNA recognition motif) domain.
