NMR Structure of human Betacellulin-2

Overview

The solution structure of the EGF-like domain of betacellulin (BTCe), a, newly discovered member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family, has, been determined using two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance, spectroscopy. This is the first report to identify the solution structure, of the EGF-family ligand monomers that interact with both ErbB-1 and, ErbB-4. The solution structure of BTCe was calculated using 538, NMR-derived restraints. The overall structure of BTCe was stabilized by, three disulfide bonds, a hydrophobic core, and 23 hydrogen bonds. It, appears that BTCe is comprised of five beta-strands and one short 3(10), helical turn. The secondary structural elements of BTCe are basically, similar to those of the other EGF-family proteins, except that several, significant variations of the structural properties were found. It is, suggested that the structural variations between BTCe and the other, EGF-family ligands may affect the specific receptor-recognition properties, of EGF-family ligands.
