Multiple layers of metabolism

A new layer of gene regulation emerges for the metabolic regulator peroxisome proliferator–activated receptor-δ (PPAR-δ). A team consisting of a Krüppel-like transcription factor and a SUMO protease regulate the expression of PPAR-δ target genes, thereby controlling energy metabolism (pages 656–666).
