Target data

Function

Binds DNA and functions as a transcriptional regulator (PubMed:12816872). Displays histone methyltransferase activity and monomethylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3 (H3K9me1) in vitro (By similarity). Probably catalyzes the monomethylation of free histone H3 in the cytoplasm which is then transported to the nucleus and incorporated into nucleosomes where SUV39H methyltransferases use it as a substrate to catalyze histone H3 'Lys-9' trimethylation (By similarity). Likely to be one of the primary histone methyltransferases along with MECOM/PRDM3 that direct cytoplasmic H3K9me1 methylation (By similarity). Functions in the differentiation of brown adipose tissue (BAT) which is specialized in dissipating chemical energy in the form of heat in response to cold or excess feeding while white adipose tissue (WAT) is specialized in the storage of excess energy and the control of systemic metabolism (By similarity). Together with CEBPB, regulates the differentiation of myoblastic precursors into brown adipose cells (By similarity). Functions as a repressor of TGF-beta signaling (PubMed:19049980). Isoform 4. Binds DNA and functions as a transcriptional regulator (PubMed:12816872). Functions as a repressor of TGF-beta signaling (PubMed:14656887). May regulate granulocyte differentiation (PubMed:12816872).

Supplementary info

Activity summary

PRDM16 also known as the PR-domain containing 16 is a transcription cofactor involved in the regulation of genes. It has a mass of approximately 140 kDa. This protein is found in multiple tissues with high expression levels observed in brown adipose tissue and skeletal muscle. PRDM16 regulates gene expression by interacting with other transcription factors and modifying chromatin structure.

Biological function summary

PRDM16 is essential in the determination of brown adipose tissue and skeletal muscle differentiation. It belongs to a complex that includes C/EBPβ and PPARγ which are pivotal for the conversion of myoblasts into thermogenic brown fat cells. This activity contributes to the generation of cells specialized for heat production which aids in maintaining body temperature.

Pathways

PRDM16 functions are linked to cellular metabolism and thermogenesis. It plays a substantial role in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway where it influences energy balance. In this pathway PRDM16 interacts with Wnt signaling regulators and coactivators that control adipocyte differentiation and energy expenditure.

Associated diseases and disorders

PRDM16 plays a role in myoblastic leukemia and obesity-related conditions. Changes in the function or expression of PRDM16 can contribute to pathological transformation leading to leukemia with proteins C/EBPβ and PPARγ also involved in related mechanisms. In obesity altered PRDM16 activity affects the formation and function of brown adipose tissue potentially disrupting normal energy metabolism and storage.

    ab106410 staining RAP1 in Human Brown adipocytes from supraclavicular fat tissue by ICC (Immunocytochemistry). Cells were fixed with paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.3% Triton X-100 and blocked with 10% serum, 1% BSA for 1 hour at 22°C. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (2 ug/ml in 10% serum, 1% BSA, 0.3% Triton X100, PBS) for 16 hours at 4°C. A Cy3®-conjugated Donkey F(ab')2 anti-rabbit IgG polyclonal (1/500) was used as the secondary antibody.
