摘要
The liver X receptors (LXRs) function as nutritional sensors for cholesterol and have important roles in lipid metabolism, glucose homeostasis, and inflammation. We provide the first evidence that LXRs are phosphorylated proteins. Mutational analysis and metabolic labeling indicate LXRm is phosphorylated on serine 198 in the hinge region. This is a consensus target for the MAPK family. A phosphorylation-deficient mutant, LXR alpha S198A, remains nuclear and responds to ligands like the wild-type protein. The biological significance of LXR phosphorylation remains to be elucidated but could provide a novel mechanism for the regulation of LXR signaling pathways and cellular metabolism.
