CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF HUMAN GROWTH AND DIFFERENTIATION FACTOR 5 (GDF-5)
Contents |
Overview
Growth and differentiation factor 5 (GDF-5), a member of the TGF-beta, superfamily, is involved in many developmental processes, like, chondrogenesis and joint formation. Mutations in GDF-5 lead to diseases, e.g. chondrodysplasias like Hunter-Thompson, Grebe and DuPan syndromes and, brachydactyly. Similar to other TGF-beta superfamily members, GDF-5, transmits signals through binding to two different types of membrane-bound, serine-/threonine-kinase receptors termed type I and type II. In contrast, to the large number of ligands, only seven type I and five type II, receptors have been identified to date, implicating a limited promiscuity, in ligand-receptor interaction. However, in contrast to other members of, the TGF-beta superfamily, GDF-5 shows a pronounced specificity in type I, receptor interaction in cross-link experiments binding only to BMP, receptor IB (BMPR-IB). In mice, deletion of either GDF-5 or BMPR-IB, results in a similar phenotype, indicating that GDF-5 signaling is highly, dependent on BMPR-IB. Here, we demonstrate by biosensor analysis that, GDF-5 also binds to BMP receptor IA (BMPR-IA) but with approximately, 12-fold lower affinity. Structural and mutational analyses revealed a, single residue of GDF-5, Arg57 located in the pre-helix loop, being solely, responsible for the high binding specificity to BMPR-IB. In contrast to, wild-type GDF-5, variant GDF-5R57A interacts with BMPR-IA and BMPR-IB with, a comparable high binding affinity. These results provide important, insights into how receptor-binding specificity is generated at the, molecular level and might be useful for the generation of receptor subtype, specific activators or inhibitors.
