THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF HUMAN PLACENTA GROWTH FACTOR-1 (PLGF-1), AN ANGIOGENIC PROTEIN AT 2.0A RESOLUTION
Overview
The angiogenic molecule placenta growth factor (PlGF) is a member of the, cysteine-knot family of growth factors. In this study, a mature isoform of, the human PlGF protein, PlGF-1, was crystallized as a homodimer in the, crystallographic asymmetric unit, and its crystal structure was elucidated, at 2.0 A resolution. The overall structure of PlGF-1 is similar to that of, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) with which it shares 42% amino, acid sequence identity. Based on structural and biochemical data, we have, mapped several important residues on the PlGF-1 molecule that are involved, in recognition of the fms-like tyrosine kinase receptor (Flt-1, also known, as VEGFR-1). We propose a model for the association of PlGF-1 and Flt-1, domain 2 with precise shape complementarity, consider the relevance of, this assembly for PlGF-1 signal transduction, and provide a structural, basis for altered specificity of this molecule.
