Abstract

Based on X-ray crystallographic analysis of a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) α/δ dual agonist complexed with human PPARs ligand binding domain (LBD), we previously reported the design and synthesis of a pyrene-based fluorescent PPARα/δ co-agonist 2. Here, we found that the fluorescence intensity of 2 increased upon binding to hPPARα-LBD, in a manner dependent upon the concentration of the LBD. But, surprisingly, the fluorescence intensity of 2 decreased concentration- dependently upon binding to hPPRδ-LBD. Site-directed mutagenesis of the two hPPAR subtypes clearly indicated that Trp264 of hPPARδ-LBD, located between H2′ helix and H3 helix (omega loop), is critical for the concentration-dependent decrease in fluorescence intensity, which is suggested to be due to fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from the pyrene moiety of bound 2 to the nearby side-chain indole moiety of Trp264 in the hPPARδ-LBD.
