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/ST2 signaling is involved in T-cell immune responses.

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.

When IL-33 interacts with the sST2, it inhibits the fixation of IL-33 of the 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. ST2 contains also <scenename='61/614056/Three_residues_of_st2_with_nag/3'>three residues</scene> linked with NAG and an <scene name='61/614056/St2_hydrophobic_patch/1'>hydrophobic patch</scene> which is involved in the interaction with the other receptor, IL-1RAcP.

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.

In humans, IL-33 in its full length is composed of 270 residues and is biologically active.

In the <scene name='61/614056/Interaction_site_1/7'>first binding site</scene>, thirteen IL-33 residues from β-loops are in contact with the D1D2 module of ST2: the four marked acids residues of IL-33 form a salt-bridge with five marked ST2 residues respectively. Besides, Glu144 and Asp149 form hydrogen bonds with main-chain atoms of ST2. IL-33 mutation of one of the acid residues (144, 148, 149 and 244) highly decreases the affinity of ST2 for IL-33.

There are both hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions. Residues of IL-33 form an hydrophobic cluster (IL-33 residues Tyr163 and Leu182 and ST2 residues Leu246, Leu306, and Leu311). A salt-bridge interaction occurs between acidic residue Glu165 and Arg313 of ST2.
