Structural locations of PPARγ orthosteric pocket and alternate site.

(A) The T/Y-shaped orthosteric pocket can accommodate one or more natural ligands such as nonanoic acid (C9; yellow sticks; PDB: 4EM9) and synthetic ligands such as rosiglitazone (pink sticks; PDB: 4EMA) or T2384 (light and dark blue sticks representing different crystallized binding modes; PDB: 3K8S, chain A and B, respectively). (B) The orthosteric pocket (white pocket surface) is completely enclosed within the alpha helical sandwich fold of the ligand-binding domain (LBD). Ligands such as T2384 (orange sticks; PDB: 3K8S, chain B) can also bind to a solvent accessible alternate site (orange pocket surface) distinct from the orthosteric pocket, structurally defined as the region between helix 3 (h3) and the flexible Ω-loop (dotted line separating the region internal to the LBD, grey background; and external to the LBD, light orange background).

Co-crystal structure of edaglitazone-bound PPARγ LBD reveals a cobound bacterial MCFA.

(A) Overall structure (helices, light blue; strands, pink) with two bound edaglitazone (EDA) ligands, one to the canonical orthosteric pocket (blue) and another to a surface pocket (green), and a C9 ligand bound to an alternate site (yellow and orange in chain A and B, respectively). (B) Molecular interactions between PPARγ and the EDA and C9 ligands. Dotted lines denote hydrogen bonds. (C,D) Comparison of the hydrogen bond interactions between PPARγ and (C) rosiglitazone (PDB: 2PRG) and (D) edaglitazone. Dotted lines denote hydrogen bonds. (E,F) Conformational changes relative to rosiglitazone-bound PPARγ (PDB: 2PRG) that allow the orthosteric pocket to adapt to binding the bulkier benzo[b]thiophene moiety in edaglitazone. The changes (orange arrows) include (E) shifting of the backbone of helix 3, helix 6, helix 6/7 loop, and helix 12; and (F) large movements of the Phe363 and M364 side chains adjacent to the benzo[b]thiophene moiety. Also see Figure 3—figure supplements 1 and 2.

Omit map (2FO–FC, contoured at 1 σ) of the EDA and C9 ligands in the crystal structure.

Ligands in chains A and B are shown in (A) and (B), respectively, and colored as follows: EDA bound to the canonical orthosteric pocket (blue), EDA bound to a surface pocket (green), and C9 bound to the alternate site (yellow and orange in chain A and B, respectively). Figure 3—figure supplement 2. The TZD head group of the second edaglitazone molecule docks into the PPARγ AF-2 surface (A,B) in a similar manner to a SRC-1 coactivator peptide bound to the AF-2 surface (C) in the crystal structure of rosiglitazone-bound PPARγ (PDB: 2PRG). The hydrophobic tail group of this second edaglitazone molecule packs within a surface pocket created by the Ω-loop and the loop connecting helix 11 and 12 (B). The second EDA ligand bridges interactions between two PPARγ molecules in different unit cells within the crystal lattice by binding to the Ω-loop region in one molecule (e.g., chain A) and the AF-2 surface of a symmetry related molecule (e.g., chain B’).

The dotted lines in panels A–C represent the vertical (1H chemical shift) or horizontal (15N chemical shift) position of the peaks in the delipidated form to illustrate how the peaks corresponding to the native, nondelipidated form shift ‘on path’ to changes caused by C9 binding. Black arrows denote the chemical shift changes; pink dotted circle/cross denotes a missing peak; and dotted lines denote the delipidated apo-PPARγ peak positions to illustrate the ‘on path’ transitions of native and C9-bound forms. Also see Figure 5—figure supplement 15.

  1. Data represent values from an unbiased global fitting of two independent ITC experiments per condition. The 68.3% confidence interval from global fitting listed as italicized values in parentheses when applicable. Stoichiometry (n value) is listed for each independent experiment. Ligands were present at the following molar equivalents: one equiv. (edaglitazone and rosiglitazone), two equiv. (OA), or three equiv. (C9).

Table 4—source data 1

Thermograms and normalized plotted data from ITC titration of TRAP220 peptide into PPARγ LBD.

Two replicate measurements (green and pink data) per ligand-bound condition (molar equivalents of 1X for rosiglitazone or edaglitazone, 2X for OA, and 3X for C9) were used for the unbiased global ITC analysis.
