Supplementary information

PGC1 alpha and beta also known as Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma Coactivator 1-alpha (PGC-1α) and 1-beta (PGC-1β) are transcriptional coactivators with molecular weights of approximately 91 kDa and 102 kDa respectively. These proteins are important in regulating energy metabolism and are highly expressed in tissues with high energy demand such as skeletal muscle heart and brown adipose tissue. The proteins interact with nuclear hormone receptors and various transcription factors to control the expression of genes involved in energy homeostasis.
Biological function summary

PGC1 alpha and beta activate and coordinate the expression of genes involved in mitochondrial biogenesis and oxidative phosphorylation. They do not form a complex themselves but work with other transcriptional regulators to enhance gene expression. These proteins influence the metabolic processes of cells regulating the conversion of energy substrates into usable cellular energy. They are critical in adapting to different physiological conditions like exercise and fasting by modulating the capacity for energy production.

Pathways

PGC1 alpha and beta integrate signals from various pathways like the PPAR and AMPK pathways which are significant for energy balance and metabolism. PGC1 alpha particularly interacts with proteins such as NRF1 and NRF2 to promote mitochondrial function. Through these pathways PGC1 coactivators help regulate metabolism by altering the transcriptional activity of genes involved in energy expenditure and metabolic adaptation.

PGC1 alpha and beta have significant implications in conditions such as obesity and diabetes. Dysregulation of these proteins affects the balance of energy metabolism leading to metabolic disorders. PGC1 alpha in particular interacts with proteins like SIRT1 which influence insulin sensitivity and metabolic rate thereby playing a role in the development and progression of these diseases. The modulation of PGC1 activity has potential therapeutic implications for managing metabolic disorders.

Target data

Transcriptional coactivator for steroid receptors and nuclear receptors (PubMed : 10713165, PubMed : 20005308, PubMed : 21376232). Greatly increases the transcriptional activity of PPARG and thyroid hormone receptor on the uncoupling protein promoter (PubMed : 10713165, PubMed : 20005308, PubMed : 21376232). Can regulate key mitochondrial genes that contribute to the program of adaptive thermogenesis (PubMed : 10713165, PubMed : 20005308, PubMed : 21376232). Plays an essential role in metabolic reprogramming in response to dietary availability through coordination of the expression of a wide array of genes involved in glucose and fatty acid metabolism (PubMed : 10713165, PubMed : 20005308, PubMed : 21376232). Acts as a key regulator of gluconeogenesis : stimulates hepatic gluconeogenesis by increasing the expression of gluconeogenic enzymes, and acting together with FOXO1 to promote the fasting gluconeogenic program (PubMed : 16753578, PubMed : 23142079). Induces the expression of PERM1 in the skeletal muscle in an ESRRA-dependent manner (PubMed : 23836911). Also involved in the integration of the circadian rhythms and energy metabolism (By similarity). Required for oscillatory expression of clock genes, such as BMAL1 and NR1D1, through the coactivation of RORA and RORC, and metabolic genes, such as PDK4 and PEPCK (By similarity).
