Function

IL21_HUMAN Cytokine with immunoregulatory activity. May promote the transition between innate and adaptive immunity. Induces the production of IgG(1) and IgG(3) in B-cells (By similarity). May play a role in proliferation and maturation of natural killer (NK) cells in synergy with IL15. May regulate proliferation of mature B- and T-cells in response to activating stimuli. In synergy with IL15 and IL18 stimulates interferon gamma production in T-cells and NK cells. During T-cell mediated immune response may inhibit dendritic cells (DC) activation and maturation.^[1] ^[2]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

The high resolution three-dimensional structure of human interleukin (hIL)-21 has been resolved by heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy. Overall, the hIL-21 structure is dominated by a well defined central four-helical bundle, arranged in an up-up-down-down topology, as observed for other cytokines. A segment of the hIL-21 molecule that includes the third helical segment, helix C, is observed to exist in two distinct and interchangeable states. In one conformer, the helix C segment is presented in a regular, alpha-helical conformation, whereas in the other conformer, this segment is largely disordered. A structure-based sequence alignment of hIL-21 with receptor complexes of the related cytokines, interleukin-2 and -4, implied that this particular segment is involved in receptor binding. An hIL-21 analog was designed to stabilize the region around helix C through the introduction of a segment grafted from hIL-4. This novel hIL-21 analog was demonstrated to exhibit a 10-fold increase in potency in a cellular assay.

The existence of multiple conformers of interleukin-21 directs engineering of a superpotent analogue.,Bondensgaard K, Breinholt J, Madsen D, Omkvist DH, Kang L, Worsaae A, Becker P, Schiodt CB, Hjorth SA J Biol Chem. 2007 Aug 10;282(32):23326-36. Epub 2007 Jun 12. PMID:17565991^[3]
