THREE-DIMENSIONAL CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF RECOMBINANT MURINE INTERFERON-BETA
Overview
The crystal structure of recombinant murine interferon-beta (IFN-beta) has, been solved by the multiple isomorphous replacement method and refined to, an R-factor of 20.5% against 2.6 A X-ray diffraction data. The structure, shows a variant of the alpha-helix bundle with a new chain-folding, topology, which seems to represent a basic structural framework of all the, IFN-alpha and IFN-beta molecules belonging to the type I family., Functionally important segments of the polypeptide chain, as implied, through numerous gene manipulation studies carried out so far, are, spatially clustered indicating the binding site(s) to the receptor(s)., Comparison of the present structure with those of other alpha-helical, cytokine proteins, including porcine growth hormone, interleukin 2 and, interferon gamma, indicated either a topological similarity in chain, folding or a similar spatial arrangement of the alpha-helices.
