The intracellular localization of transcriptionally active green fluorescent protein (GFP) chimeras linked to PPARs for human PPAR{alpha} (GFP-PPARh{alpha}) and mouse PPAR{alpha}, ß, and {gamma}1 (GFP-PPARm{alpha}, GFP-PPARmß, and GFP-PPARm{gamma}, respectively) was examined in the mouse hepatoma cell line, Hepa-1, using fluorescence microscopy. A predominantly nuclear and diffuse distribution of each isoform was found in both the presence and absence of specific ligands for each receptor. GFP-PPARm{alpha}-G (containing a Glu282Gly substitution of PPARm{alpha}) and a phosphorylation mutant, GFP-PPARm{gamma}-A (containing a Ser82Ala substitution of PPARm{gamma}), exhibited altered transcriptional activities, but displayed similar intracellular localization patterns compared with their respective wild-type receptors. Coexpression of nuclear receptor corepressor suppressed, whereas steroid receptor coactivator-1 enhanced the transcriptional activity of each of the GFP-PPAR isoforms, but did not discernibly alter their intracellular distributions, both in the presence and absence of PPAR ligands. Interestingly, coexpression of the obligate heterodimeric partner of PPARs, RXR{alpha}, resulted in an intranuclear redistribution of the GFP-PPARm{gamma} isoform characterized by a reticulated pattern of the green fluorescent label for PPAR{gamma} within the nucleus, but not in nucleoli, and a heightened concentration of the fluorescent label surrounding nucleolar structures and at the nuclear membrane. Conversely, coexpression of yellow fluorescent protein-RXR{alpha} and native PPARm{gamma} resulted in a similar distribution of the yellow fluorescent tag. This localization pattern was not discernibly altered by PPAR{gamma} or RXR{alpha}-specific ligands. These results implicate RXR{alpha} in the nuclear reorganization of PPAR{gamma} and suggest that PPAR{gamma} colocalizes with RXR{alpha} at specific locations within the nucleus independent of added ligand.
