Covalent attachment of small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMOylation) is a posttranslational modification that regulates the activity of many transcription factors. The nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a master regulator of adipogenesis and the target of the thiazolidinedione (TZD) diabetes drugs. Although the TZDs have potent insulin-sensitizing properties, their use is limited by adverse effects such as weight gain. Here we provide unequivocal evidence that PPARγ is SUMOylated in mice at lysine-107 and that preventing this modification selectively enhances the insulin-sensitizing activity of PPARγ by regulating the expression of a discriminate network of genes in white adipose tissue. Our work suggests that inhibiting PPARγ SUMOylation may be a strategy for designing safer PPARγ drugs. The nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) is a master regulator of adipocyte differentiation and is the target for the insulin-sensitizing thiazolidinedione (TZD) drugs used to treat type 2 diabetes. In cell-based in vitro studies, the transcriptional activity of PPARγ is inhibited by covalent attachment of small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMOylation) at K107 in its N terminus. However, whether this posttranslational modification is relevant in vivo remains unclear. Here, using mice homozygous for a mutation (K107R) that prevents SUMOylation at this position, we demonstrate that PPARγ is SUMOylated at K107 in white adipose tissue. We further show that in the context of diet-induced obesity PPARγ-K107R–mutant mice have enhanced insulin sensitivity without the corresponding increase in adiposity that typically accompanies PPARγ activation by TZDs. Accordingly, the PPARγ-K107R mutation was weaker than TZD treatment in stimulating adipocyte differentiation in vitro. Moreover, we found that both the basal and TZD-dependent transcriptomes of inguinal and epididymal white adipose tissue depots were markedly altered in the K107R-mutant mice. We conclude that PPARγ SUMOylation at K107 is physiologically relevant and may serve as a pharmacologic target for uncoupling PPARγ’s beneficial insulin-sensitizing effect from its adverse effect of weight gain.
