Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ2 (PPARγ2) can be SUMO2/3 modification during adipogenic induction and deSUMOylated by SENP3. (A) The endogenous SUMO2/3 modification of PPARγ2 in BM-MSCs during adipogenesis. Whole-cell lysates were prepared from BM-MSCs undergone adipogenic differentiation at day 3 and were incubated with antibody specific to PPARγ2. The co-eluted proteins were detected by using PPARγ2 and SUMO2/3 antibody. (B) PPARγ2 can be modified by SUMO3 when co-expressed in HEK293T cells in dose-dependent manner; Flag-PPARγ2, ubc9 and RH-SUMO3 were co-expressed in HEK293T cells and co-IP assays were performed with Flag and RGS antibody; (C) the SUMOylation of PPARγ2 can be removed by SENP3; Flag-PPARγ2, ubc9, Flag-SENP3, and RH-SUMO3 were co-expressed in HEK293T cells and co-IP assays were performed with Flag and RGS antibody; (D) SENP3 mediated de-SUMOylation depended on its active site cysteine 532 (C532); Flag-PPARγ2, ubc9, Flag-SENP3 (WT and C532A mutant) and RH-SUMO3 were co-expressed in HEK293T cells and co-IP assays were performed with Flag and RGS antibody.
