COMPLEX OF IGFBP-5 WITH IGF-I
Structural highlights
Disease[IGF1_HUMAN] Defects in IGF1 are the cause of insulin-like growth factor I deficiency (IGF1 deficiency) [MIM:608747]. IGF1 deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by growth retardation, sensorineural deafness and mental retardation. Function[IGF1_HUMAN] The insulin-like growth factors, isolated from plasma, are structurally and functionally related to insulin but have a much higher growth-promoting activity. May be a physiological regulator of [1-14C]-2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) transport and glycogen synthesis in osteoblasts. Stimulates glucose transport in rat bone-derived osteoblastic (PyMS) cells and is effective at much lower concentrations than insulin, not only regarding glycogen and DNA synthesis but also with regard to enhancing glucose uptake.[1] [IBP5_HUMAN] IGF-binding proteins prolong the half-life of the IGFs and have been shown to either inhibit or stimulate the growth promoting effects of the IGFs on cell culture. They alter the interaction of IGFs with their cell surface receptors. Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedInsulin-like growth factors (IGFs) are key regulators of cell proliferation, differentiation and transformation, and are thus pivotal in cancer, especially breast, prostate and colon neoplasms. They are also important in many neurological and bone disorders. Their potent mitogenic and anti-apoptotic actions depend primarily on their availability to bind to the cell surface IGF-I receptor. In circulation and interstitial fluids, IGFs are largely unavailable as they are tightly associated with IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs) and are released after IGFBP proteolysis. Here we report the 2.1 A crystal structure of the complex of IGF-I bound to the N-terminal IGF-binding domain of IGFBP-5 (mini-IGFBP-5), a prototype interaction for all N-terminal domains of the IGFBP family. The principal interactions in the complex comprise interlaced hydrophobic side chains that protrude from both IGF-I and the IGFBP-5 fragment and a surrounding network of polar interactions. A solvent-exposed hydrophobic patch is located on the IGF-I pole opposite to the mini-IGFBP-5 binding region and marks the IGF-I receptor binding site.
