Crystal Structure of Human Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells 1 (TREM-1) at 1.47 .
Overview
The triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM) family of single, extracellular immunoglobulin receptors includes both activating and, inhibitory isoforms whose ligands are unknown. TREM-1 activation amplifies, the Toll-like receptor initiated responses to invading pathogens allowing, the secretion of pro-inflammatory chemokines and cytokines. Hence, TREM-1, amplifies the inflammation induced by both bacteria and fungi, and thus, represents a potential therapeutic target. We report the crystal structure, of the human TREM-1 extracellular domain at 1.47 A resolution. The overall, fold places it within the V-type immunoglobulin domain family and reveals, close homology with Ig domains from antibodies, T-cell receptors and other, activating receptors, such as NKp44. With the additional use of analytical, ultracentrifugation and 1H NMR spectroscopy of both human and mouse, TREM-1, we have conclusively demonstrated the monomeric state of this, extracellular ectodomain in solution and, presumably, of the TREM family, in general.
