physiological function | glycerol kinase (Gyk), consisting of 4 isoforms, plays a critical role in metabolism by converting glycerol to glycerol 3-phosphate in an ATP-dependent reaction. The nuclear orphan receptor subfamily 4 group A member (NR4A)-1 (also known as Nur77, NGFI-B, NAK-1, or TR3is) an important regulator of hepatic glucose homeostasis and lipid metabolism in adipose tissue. Nuclear Gyk isoform b is a corepressor of NR4A1 in the liver. This recruitment is dependent on the C-terminal ligand-binding domain instead of the N-terminal activation function 1 domain, which interacts with other NR4A1 coregulators. NR4A1 transcriptional activity is inhibited by Gyk via protein-protein interaction but not enzymatic activity. Moreover, Gyk overexpression suppresses NR4A1 ability to regulate the expression of target genes involved in hepatic gluconeogenesis in vitro and in vivo as well as blood glucose regulation, which is observed in both unfed and diabetic transfected mice. Moonlighting function of nuclear Gyk isozyme b, which acts as a coregulator of NR4A1, participating in the regulation of hepatic glucose homeostasis in the unfed state and diabetes. The Gyk activity does not affect the interaction between Gyk and NR4A1, Gyk antagonizes the effects of NR4A1 on hepatic gluconeogenesis in vitro and in vivo | Homo sapiens |
