Agonist Comments
The identification of the flavinoids compounds as ERRα agonist is based on cell transfection reporter assay and on mammalian two hibryd assays (PNRC2 induced recruitment). DY131 selectively activates ERRβ and γ. GSK4716 and GSK9089 binding affinity were measured by FRET.

DNA Binding Click here for help
Structure:  Monomer, Homodimer
HRE core sequence:  TNA AGGTCA
Response element:  DR3, ERE, Other - see comments
DNA Binding Comments
ERRγ was shown to bind to the ERE as well as to the SFRE (SF1 Response Elements: TNA AGGTCA) and EREs, in vitro. Data suggest that ERR interaction with EREs does not occur in vivo (V. Giguère, personal communication). Importantly, ERRγ homodimerization seems to enhance its transcriptional activity [11].
Co-binding Partners Click here for help
Name Interaction Effect Reference
DAX1 Physical, Functional DAX-1 inhibited PGC-1α mediated ERRγ transactivation, via competition between these two factors for the AF-2 binding domain. 13
SHP Physical, Functional SHP interaction with ERRγ inhibits its transcriptional activity 14
Calmodulin Physical, Functional Calmodulin and ERRγ interact in vitro in Ca2+ dependent manner and transient transfection analysis revealed a Ca2+-influx-dependent ERRγ-mediated transcriptional activation of a luciferase reporter gene. 8

Brain, kidney, testis, lung, adrenal gland, pancreas, placenta, bone marrow, heart
Species:  Human
Technique:  Northern-RT-PCR, in situ, Western, immunohistology, other
References:  2,4,6,10
Tissue Distribution Comments
Similar patterns seen in mice. And different studies are not in accordance for the expression in heart but this may be linked to the differential expression of transcripts coding for specific isoforms. Some studies have reported an absence of expression in 7 days post coitum mouse embryos and a high expression at 11, 15 and 17 days. This suggests that in contrast to ERRα and ERRβ, ERRγ is not expressed during early embryogenesis.

Knock-out mice: homozygous do not survive to weaning, heterozygous exhibit an increase in overall startle amplitude, indicating a possible hypersensitivity to sound-induced motor reflex in these mice.
