Structure of Human Mip-3a Chemokine
Overview
The structure of the human macrophage inflammatory protein-3alpha, (MIP-3alpha) has been determined at 1.81 angstroms resolution by X-ray, crystallography. The dimer crystallized in the tetragonal space group I4, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 83.99, c = 57.20 angstroms. The crystals, exhibit two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The structure was solved by, the molecular-replacement method and the model was refined to a, conventional R value of 20.6% (R(free) = 25.7%). MIP-3alpha possesses the, same monomeric structure as previously described for other chemokines., However, in addition to limited structural changes in the beta1-beta2, hairpin of monomer B, the electron density is fully defined for a few, extra residues at the N- and C-termini of monomer A and the C-terminus of, monomer B compared with MIP-3alpha in space group P6(1). As the N-terminal, and loop regions have been shown to be critical for receptor binding and, signaling, this additional structural information may help in determining, the basis of the CCR6 selectivity of MIP-3alpha.
