Unanticipated mechanisms of covalent inhibitor and synthetic ligand cobinding to PPARγ by Jinsai Shang, Douglas J Kojetin

“…However, we previously showed that synthetic PPARγ ligands can cooperatively cobind with and reposition a bound endogenous orthosteric ligand to an alternate site, synergistically regulating PPARγ structure and function (Shang et al., 2018). Here, we reveal the structural mechanism of cobinding between a synthetic covalent antagonist inhibitor with other synthetic ligands. …”
