This study investigated PPARgamma ligand binding using SPR, CD spectroscopy, and molecular docking. Enhanced thermal stability and conformational changes were observed, correlating with binding affinity, suggesting new screening methods.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Molecular Biology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) is a key regulator of glucose and lipid metabolism.
  • Dysregulation of PPARgamma is implicated in metabolic diseases like type 2 diabetes and obesity.
  • Understanding PPARgamma ligand interactions is crucial for developing effective therapeutics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To characterize the binding of various PPARgamma ligands to the human PPARgamma ligand-binding domain.
  • To investigate ligand-induced conformational and thermal stability changes in PPARgamma.
  • To evaluate the utility of SPR, CD spectroscopy, and molecular docking for assessing ligand-PPARgamma interactions.

Main Methods:

  • Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) biosensor technology to determine equilibrium dissociation constants (KD).

  • Circular Dichroism (CD) spectroscopy to detect conformational changes and assess thermal stability (Tm).
  • Molecular docking simulations to model ligand-PPARgamma interactions at the atomic level.

    • Main Results:

    • SPR-determined KD values were consistent with literature, validating SPR for screening PPARgamma agonists/antagonists.
    • CD spectroscopy revealed ligand-induced conformational changes and enhanced PPARgamma thermal stability.
    • Increased transition temperature (ΔTm) correlated well with ligand binding affinity.
    • Molecular docking provided reliable binding models and explained structure-binding relationships.
    • Predicted binding free energies correlated with SPR-measured binding constants.

    Conclusions:

    • SPR is a viable direct assay for screening PPARgamma ligands.
    • CD spectroscopy offers a complementary method for determining PPARgamma ligand binding affinities.
    • Molecular docking can be utilized for virtual screening of novel PPARgamma ligands.
    • Integrated biophysical and computational approaches provide comprehensive insights into ligand-PPARgamma interactions.
