CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF HUMAN PARATHYROID HORMONE 1-34 AT 0.9 A RESOLUTION
Contents |
Overview
The N-terminal fragment 1-34 of parathyroid hormone (PTH), administered, intermittently, results in increased bone formation in patients with, osteoporosis. PTH and a related molecule, parathyroid hormone-related, peptide (PTHrP), act on cells via a common PTH/PTHrP receptor. To define, more precisely the ligand-receptor interactions, we have crystallized, human PTH (hPTH)-(1-34) and determined the structure to 0.9-A resolution., hPTH-(1-34) crystallizes as a slightly bent, long helical dimer. Analysis, reveals that the extended helical conformation of hPTH-(1-34) is the, likely bioactive conformation. We have developed molecular models for the, interaction of hPTH-(1-34) and hPTHrP-(1-34) with the PTH/PTHrP receptor., A receptor binding pocket for the N terminus of hPTH-(1-34) and a, hydrophobic interface with the receptor for the C terminus of hPTH-(1-34), are proposed.
