structure of interleukin-2 with its alpha receptor
Contents |
Overview
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is an immunoregulatory cytokine that binds, sequentially to the alpha (IL-2Ralpha), beta (IL-2Rbeta), and common gamma, chain (gammac) receptor subunits. Here we present the 2.8 angstrom crystal, structure of a complex between human IL-2 and IL-2Ralpha, which interact, in a docking mode distinct from that of other cytokine receptor complexes., IL-2Ralpha is composed of strand-swapped "sushi-like" domains, unlike the, classical cytokine receptor fold. As a result of this domain swap, IL-2Ralpha uses a composite surface to dock into a groove on IL-2 that, also serves as a binding site for antagonist drugs. With this complex, we, now have representative structures for each class of hematopoietic, cytokine receptor-docking modules.
