Structure of a Poxvirus ifngbp/ifng Complex

Structural highlights

3bes is a 2 chain structure with sequence from Ectromelia mousepox virus and Human. The August 2010 RCSB PDB Molecule of the Month feature on Interferons by David Goodsell is 10.2210/rcsb_pdb/mom_2010_8. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.

Disease

[IFNG_HUMAN] In Caucasians, genetic variation in IFNG is associated with the risk of aplastic anemia (AA) [MIM:609135]. AA is a rare disease in which the reduction of the circulating blood cells results from damage to the stem cell pool in bone marrow. In most patients, the stem cell lesion is caused by an autoimmune attack. T-lymphocytes, activated by an endogenous or exogenous, and most often unknown antigenic stimulus, secrete cytokines, including IFN-gamma, which would in turn be able to suppress hematopoiesis.

Function

[IFNG_HUMAN] Produced by lymphocytes activated by specific antigens or mitogens. IFN-gamma, in addition to having antiviral activity, has important immunoregulatory functions. It is a potent activator of macrophages, it has antiproliferative effects on transformed cells and it can potentiate the antiviral and antitumor effects of the type I interferons.

Evolutionary Conservation

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Ectromelia virus (ECTV) encodes an IFN-gamma-binding protein (IFN-gammaBP(ECTV)) that disrupts IFN-gamma signaling and its ability to induce an antiviral state within cells. IFN-gammaBP(ECTV) is an important virulence factor that is highly conserved (>90%) in all orthopoxviruses, including variola virus, the causative agent of smallpox. The 2.2-A crystal structure of the IFN-gammaBP(ECTV)/IFN-gamma complex reveals IFN-gammaBP(ECTV) consists of an IFN-gammaR1 ligand-binding domain and a 57-aa helix-turn-helix (HTH) motif that is structurally related to the transcription factor TFIIA. The HTH motif forms a tetramerization domain that results in an IFN-gammaBP(ECTV)/IFN-gamma complex containing four IFN-gammaBP(ECTV) chains and two IFN-gamma dimers. The structure, combined with biochemical and cell-based assays, demonstrates that IFN-gammaBP(ECTV) tetramers are required for efficient IFN-gamma antagonism.
