CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF HUMAN RECOMBINANT INTERLEUKIN-4 AT 2.25 ANGSTROMS RESOLUTION
Contents |
Overview
The crystal structure of human recombinant interleukin-4 (IL-4) has been, solved by multiple isomorphous replacement, and refined to an R factor of, 0.218 at 2.25 A resolution. The molecule is a left-handed four-helix, bundle with a short stretch of beta sheet. The structure bears close, resemblance to other cytokines such as granulocyte-macrophage colony, stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Although no sequence similarity of IL-4 to, GM-CSF and other related cytokines has been previously postulated, structure-based alignment of IL-4 and GM-CSF revealed that the core of the, molecules, including large parts of all four helices and extending over, half of the molecule, has 30% sequence identity. This may have identified, regions which are not only important to maintain structure, but could also, play a role in receptor binding.
Disease
Known diseases associated with this structure: AIDS, slow progression to OMIM:[147781], Atopy, susceptibility to OMIM:[147781]
