摘要: The TRAP (thyroid hormone receptor-associated proteins) transcription coactivator complex (also known as Mediator) was first isolated a group of proteins that facilitate the function thyroid receptor1. This interacts physically with several nuclear receptors through TRAP220 subunit, and diverse activators other subunits2. has been reported to show ligand-enhanced interaction peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ2 (PPARγ2)3,4, essential for adipogenesis5,6,7,8. Here we Trap220-/- fibroblasts are refractory PPARγ2-stimulated adipogenesis, but not MyoD-stimulated myogenesis, do express adipogenesis markers or PPARγ2 target genes. These defects can be restored by expression exogenous TRAP220. Further indicative direct role in via complex, functions directly transcriptional purified vitro system ligand- TRAP220-dependent manner. data indicate acts, PPARγ2-selective and, accordingly, it is specific one fibroblast differentiation pathway (adipogenesis) relative another (myogenesis).
