Function

• binds to an ERR-alpha response element (ERRE) containing a single consensus half-site, 5'-TNAAGGTCA- 3'
• can bind to the medium-chain acyl coenzyme A dehydrogenase ( MCAD) response element NRRE-1 & may act as a regulator of the MCAD promoter
• binds to the C1 region of the lactoferrin gene promoter
• requires dimerization & the coactivator, PGC-1A, for full activity
• ERRalpha/PGC1alpha complex is a regulator of energy metabolism
• binds DNA as a monomer or a homodimer
• interacts (via the AF2 domain) with coactivator PPARGC1A (via the L3 motif); the interaction greatly enhances transriptional activity of genes
• role in energy metabolism
• interacts with PIAS4
• sumoylated by SUMO2

• main site is Lys-14 which is enhanced by phosphorylation on Ser-19, cofactor activation, & by interaction with PIAS4
• sumoylation enhances repression of transcriptional activiy, but has no effect on subcellular location nor on DNA binding

Structure

• belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family, NR3 subfamily
• contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain

Compartment

• nucleus

Alternative-splicing

• named isoforms=2

Expression

• induced by PGC1alpha in a number of specific cell types including heart, kidney & muscle

More General Terms

• steroid receptor
• zinc finger protein
• phosphoprotein
