COMPLEX OF DIPHTHERIA TOXIN AND HEPARIN-BINDING EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR
Contents |
Overview
We describe the crystal structure at 2.65 A resolution of diphtheria toxin, (DT) complexed 1:1 with a fragment of its cell-surface receptor, the, precursor of heparin-binding epidermal-growth-factor-like growth factor, (HBEGF). HBEGF in the complex has the typical EGF-like fold and packs its, principal beta hairpin against the face of a beta sheet in the, receptor-binding domain of DT. The interface has a predominantly, hydrophobic core, and polar interactions are formed at the periphery. The, structure of the complex suggests that part of the membrane anchor of the, receptor can interact with a hinge region of DT. The toxin molecule is, thereby induced to form an open conformation conducive to membrane, insertion. The structure provides a basis for altering the binding, specificity of the toxin, and may also serve as a model for other, EGF-receptor interactions.
Disease
Known diseases associated with this structure: Diphtheria, susceptibility to OMIM:[126150]
