Human NCU-G1 functions as a ligand dependent and NR-box dependent co-activator for PPAR-alpha in S2 cells. Panel A: S2 cells were transiently transfected with 250 ng pAc5.1V5/His-LacZ, 350 ng of pACO-CAT, and increasing amounts of pMT-hPPARalpha, in the presence or absence of 10 ng of pAc-hNCU-G1. Twelve hrs after transfection WY14643 was added to 20 μM. The cells were harvested 56 hrs after transfection. CAT was assayed by ELISA and β-galactosidase by enzyme activity. The data represent relative average values (pg CAT/unit β-galactosidase/hr +/- SE) from three independent experiments carried out in triplicates. Panel B: S2 cells were transiently transfected with 250 ng pAc5.1V5/His-LacZ, 350 ng of pACO-CAT, together with pAc-hNCU-G1, pMT-hPPAR-alpha and WY14643 as indicated. The cells were treated and presented as in panel A. Panel C: S2 cells were transiently transfected with 250 ng pAc5.1V5/His-LacZ, 350 ng of pACO-CAT, 150 ng pMT-hPPAR-alpha as indicated and 10 ng of pAc-hNCU-G1, either wild-type or mutated as indicated in the figure. All cells were treated with 20 μM WY14643. The cells were harvested and data presented as in panel A.
