SOLUTION STRUCTURE OF THE CHEMOKINE HMIP-1BETA(SLASH)ACT-2 BY MULTI-DIMENSIONAL NMR: A NOVEL CHEMOKINE DIMER
Overview
The three-dimensional structure of a member of the beta subfamily of, chemokines, human macrophage inflammatory protein-1 beta (hMIP-1 beta), has been determined with the use of solution multidimensional, heteronuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Human MIP-1 beta is a, symmetric homodimer with a relative molecular mass of approximately 16, kilodaltons. The structure of the hMIP-1 beta monomer is similar to that, of the related alpha chemokine interleukin-8 (IL-8). However, the, quaternary structures of the two proteins are entirely distinct, and the, dimer interface is formed by a completely different set of residues., Whereas the IL-8 dimer is globular, the hMIP-1 beta dimer is elongated and, cylindrical. This provides a rational explanation for the absence of, cross-binding and reactivity between the alpha and beta chemokine, subfamilies. Calculation of the solvation free energies of dimerization, suggests that the formation and stabilization of the two different types, of dimers arise from the burial of hydrophobic residues.
