Solution structure of the transmembrane domain and the juxta-membrane domain of the Erythropoietin Receptor in micelles
Structural highlights
Disease[EPOR_HUMAN] Defects in EPOR are the cause of familial erythrocytosis type 1 (ECYT1) [MIM:133100]. ECYT1 is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by increased serum red blood cell mass, elevated hemoglobin and hematocrit, hypersensitivity of erythroid progenitors to erythropoietin, erythropoietin low serum levels, and no increase in platelets nor leukocytes. It has a relatively benign course and does not progress to leukemia.[1] [2] [3] Function[EPOR_HUMAN] Receptor for erythropoietin. Mediates erythropoietin-induced erythroblast proliferation and differentiation. Upon EPO stimulation, EPOR dimerizes triggering the JAK2/STAT5 signaling cascade. In some cell types, can also activate STAT1 and STAT3. May also activate the LYN tyrosine kinase. Isoform EPOR-T acts as a dominant-negative receptor of EPOR-mediated signaling. Publication Abstract from PubMedErythropoietin receptor (EpoR) dimerization is an important step in erythrocyte formation. Its transmembrane domain (TMD) and juxtamembrane (JM) region are essential for signal transduction across the membrane. A construct compassing residues S212-P259 and containing the TMD and JM region of the human EpoR was purified and reconstituted in detergent micelles. The solution structure of the construct was determined in dodecylphosphocholine (DPC) micelles by solution NMR spectroscopy. Structural and dynamic studies demonstrated that the TMD and JM region are an ?-helix in DPC micelles, whereas residues S212-D224 at the N-terminus of the construct are not structured. The JM region is a helix that contains a hydrophobic patch formed by conserved hydrophobic residues (L253, I257, and W258). Nuclear Overhauser effect analysis, fluorescence spectroscopy, and paramagnetic relaxation enhancement experiments suggested that the JM region is exposed to the solvent. The structures of the TMD and JM region of the mouse EpoR were similar to those of the human EpoR.
