In 2005, IL-33 was identified as a ligand for the transmembrane receptor ST2 (also known as [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/9173 IL1RL1] and it IL-1 receptor accessory protein (IL-1RAcP), both members of the [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17027517 interleukin-1 receptor family].

IL-33 interacts with the ectodomain of ST2L on Th2 cells. This interaction provokes the recruitment of the myeloid differentiation primary-response protein 88 ([http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q99836 MYD88]) complex, which is involved in the immune response against commune viral infections and some bacterial infections. | IL-33 interacts with the ectodomain of ST2L on Th2 cells.

The understanding of the interaction of IL-33 with its receptors has been discovered thanks to the determination of the crystal structure of IL-33 in complex with ectodomain of ST2. | The understanding of the interaction of IL-33 with its receptors has been discovered thanks to the determination of the crystal structure of IL-33 in complex with ectodomain of ST2. | ||
Besides, the combination of crystallography and small-angle X-ray-scattering methods reveal that ST2 has a very flexible conformation, contrary to IL-1RAcP. In fact, ST2 is constituted of three IgG-like domains (<scene name='61/614056/Domains_d1d2d3_de_st2/1'>D1 to D3</scene>). D1 and D2 gather to form a single D1D2 module, connected through a linker with the D3 domain.

In fact, ST2 is constituted of three IgG-like domains (<scene name='61/614056/Domains_d1d2d3_de_st2/1'>D1 to D3</scene>). D1 and D2 gather to form a single D1D2 module, connected through a linker with the D3 domain. The flexibility of these domains allows ST2 to exist in three different conformers, as you can see on the image below. | ||

On the left and on the right, there are respectively the open conformer and the close conformer of ST2. On the middle, the half-open conformer is shown. This conformer superimposes perfectly with the conformation of ST2 bound with IL-33. | |||
This conformational specificity provides a capactity of ligand-binding with IL-33. Moreover, the rigidity of IL-1RAcP explains that it can not bind the IL-33 ligand directly. | This conformational specificity provides a capactity of ligand-binding with IL-33.

In the complex, IL-33 interacts with the three domains of ST2. The binding interface is very large and composed of two separate sites. | In the complex, IL-33 interacts with the three domains of ST2. The binding interface is very large and composed of two separate sites. | ||
