CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE HUMAN HIGH-AFFINITY IGE RECEPTOR
Overview
Allergic responses result from the activation of mast cells by the human, high-affinity IgE receptor. IgE-mediated allergic reactions may develop to, a variety of environmental compounds, but the initiation of a response, requires the binding of IgE to its high-affinity receptor. We have solved, the X-ray crystal structure of the antibody-binding domains of the human, IgE receptor at 2.4 A resolution. The structure reveals a highly bent, arrangement of immunoglobulin domains that form an extended convex surface, of interaction with IgE. A prominent loop that confers specificity for IgE, molecules extends from the receptor surface near an unusual arrangement of, four exposed tryptophans. The crystal structure of the IgE receptor, provides a foundation for the development of new therapeutic approaches to, allergy treatment.
