We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE AND BIOLOGICAL FUNCTION OF LEUKEMIA INHIBITORY FACTOR: IMPLICATIONS FOR RECEPTOR BINDING

Overview

The structure of murine leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) has been, determined by X-ray crystallography at 2.0 A resolution. The main chain, fold conforms to the four alpha-helix bundle topology previously observed, for several members of the hematopoietic cytokine family. Of these, LIF, shows closest structural homology to granulocyte colony-stimulating factor, and growth hormone (GH). Sequence alignments for the functionally related, molecules oncostatin M and ciliary neurotrophic factor, when mapped to the, LIF structure, indicate regions of conserved surface character. Analysis, of the biological function and receptor specificity of a series of, human-mouse LIF chimeras implicate two regions of receptor interaction, that are located in the fourth helix and the preceding loop. A model for, receptor binding based on the structure of the GH ligand-receptor complex, requires additional, novel features to account for these data.
