X-RAY STRUCTURE OF INTERLEUKIN-1 RECEPTOR ANTAGONIST AT 2.0 ANGSTROMS RESOLUTION

Contents

Overview

Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) is a natural competitive, antagonist of IL-1. In order to further elucidate the mechanism by which, IL-1ra binds without activating the IL-1 receptor, we have solved the, crystal structure of IL-1ra at 2.0-A resolution. IL-1ra has the same, overall beta-trefoil fold as IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta and has a very, similar hydrophobic core. However, there are a number of structural, differences between the molecules, including significant differences at, the open end of the beta-barrel, which has been identified in IL-1 beta as, a receptor binding site.
