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.

Publication Abstract from PubMed

BACKGROUND: Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) is a homodimeric cytokine that exerts its various activities by inducing the aggregation of two different receptors. The alpha chain receptor (IFN-gammaRalpha) is a high affinity receptor that binds to IFN-gamma in a symmetric bivalent manner to form a stable, intermediate 1:2 complex. This intermediate forms a binding template for the subsequent binding of two copies of the second receptor, beta chain receptor (IFN-gammaRbeta), producing the active 1:2:2 signaling complex. RESULTS: A single chain monovalent variant of IFN-gamma (scIFN-gamma) was constructed and complexed to one copy of the extracellular domain (ECD) of IFN-gammaRalpha. The structure of this 1:1 complex was determined and the hormone-receptor interface shown to be characterized by a number of hydrophilic interactions mediated by several highly ordered water networks. The scIFN-gamma interface consists of segments from each of the monomer chains of the homodimer. The principal hydrophobic contact of the receptor involves a tripeptide segment of the receptor having an unusual and high energy conformation. Despite containing only one binding site for IFN-gammaRalpha, the monovalent scIFN-gamma molecule has significant activity in antiviral biological assays. CONCLUSIONS: ScIFN-gamma binds the ECD of IFN-gammaRalpha through a highly hydrated interface with an important set of hormone-receptor contacts mediated through structured waters. Although the interface is highly hydrated, it supports tight binding and has a considerable degree of specificity. The biological activity of scIFN-gamma confirms that the scIFN-gamma:IFN-gammaRalpha complex represents a productive intermediate and that it can effectively recruit the other required component, IFN-gammaRbeta, to signal based on the 1:1:1 complex.
