Despite the involvement in diverse physiological process and pleiotropic expression profile, the molecular functions of Nur77 are not likely to be fully elucidated. From the effort to find a novel function of Nur77, we detected molecular interaction between Nur77 and PKC. Details of interaction revealed that C-terminal ligand binding domain (LBD) of Nur77 specifically interacted with highly conserved glycine-rich loop of PKC required for catalytic activity. This molecular interaction resulted in inhibition of catalytic activity of PKC theta by Nur77. C-terminal LBD of Nur77 is sufficient for inhibiting the phosphorylation of substrate by PKC theta. Ultimately, inhibition of catalytic activity by Nur77 is deeply associated with repression of PKC-mediated activation of AP-1 and NF-kappa B. Therefore, these findings demonstrate a novel function of Nur77 as a PKC inhibitor and give insights into molecular mechanisms of various Nur77-mediated physiological phenomena.
