A new cytokine-receptor binding mode revealed by the crystal structure of the IL-1 receptor with an antagonist

Abstract: Inflammation, regardless of whether it is provoked by infection or by tissue damage, starts with the activation of macrophages which initiate a cascade of inflammatory responses by producing the cytokines interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (ref. 1). Three naturally occurring ligands for the IL-1 receptor (IL1R) exist: the agonists IL-1alpha and IL-1beta and the IL-1-receptor antagonist IL1RA (ref. 2). IL-1 is the only cytokine for which a naturally occurring antagonist is known. Here we desc… Show more

“…Due to the conservation of the ligand-binding domains of sIL-1RAcP, this molecule may still share the receptor complex stabilizing function, thereby acting as an inhibitor of IL-1 signaling through formation of an IL-1 trap. This action of sIL-1RAcP could therefore be distinct from IL-1Ra-mediated inhibition of IL-1 signaling, since binding of IL-1Ra to the IL-1RI does not lead to recruitment of IL-1RAcP (4,37,38). In this study, we compared the effect of both inhibitors on CIA.…”

“…Kinetics of binding of IL-1␤ to IL-1RI and IL-1RII are complex, perhaps reflecting the conformational flexibility of the receptors and the multiple binding interfaces between the cytokine and its receptors (35,36). For this reason, we used equilibrium dissociation constants (K D ) to compare the effects of XOMA 052 on the affinity of binding of IL-1␤ to these receptors.…”

“…Recently, the molecular structure of a soluble hIL-1RI complexed with IL-1L [21], IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) [22] and an antagonistic peptide [23] was resolved by X-ray crystallography. The binding site for IL-1L was mapped to an area between the ¢rst two N-terminal Ig-like domains [21,23].…”
