Publication Abstract from PubMed
We have determined the NMR structure of a ligand-binding domain of the granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) receptor, containing the highly conserved WSxWS motif. The domain consists of seven beta-strands with the fibronectin type III-like topology seen in several cytokine receptors. Comparisons between the spectra of the 15N-labelled domain with and without G-CSF indicate that the major ligand-recognition site is on the FG loop just upstream of the WSxWS sequence, and not on the BC loop which is mainly used in the growth hormone system. The WSxWS residues are suggested to contribute to ligand-recognition and to the protein architecture of the G-CSF receptor.
