Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer Techniques to Study Ligand-Mediated Interactions of PPARs with Coregulators
The capacity to induce the association of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) with different transcriptional coregulators is determined by the peculiar 3D-structure that the receptors adopt whe...

Site-Directed Mutagenesis to Study the Role of Specific Amino Acids in the Ligand Binding Domain of PPARs
The role of certain amino acids in the interactions of ligands with their cognate nuclear receptors is usually achieved by the resolution of the crystal structure of the receptor complexed with the ligand. As ...

The nuclear receptor LXR is a glucose sensor
The liver has a central role in glucose homeostasis, as it has the distinctive ability to produce and consume glucose1. On feeding, glucose influx triggers gene expression changes in hepatocytes to suppress endog...
