Ligands: GOL Gene: Il2, Il-2 (LK3 transgenic mice) Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function [IL2_MOUSE] Produced by T-cells in response to antigenic or mitogenic stimulation, this protein is required for T-cell proliferation and other activities crucial to regulation of the immune response. Can stimulate B-cells, monocytes, lymphokine-activated killer cells, natural killer cells, and glioma cells. Publication Abstract from PubMed Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is a pleiotropic cytokine that regulates immune cell homeostasis and has been used to treat a range of disorders including cancer and autoimmune disease. IL-2 signals via interleukin-2 receptor-beta (IL-2Rbeta):IL-2Rgamma heterodimers on cells expressing high (regulatory T cells, Treg) or low (effector cells) amounts of IL-2Ralpha (CD25). When complexed with IL-2, certain anti-cytokine antibodies preferentially stimulate expansion of Treg (JES6-1) or effector (S4B6) cells, offering a strategy for targeted disease therapy. We found that JES6-1 sterically blocked the IL-2:IL-2Rbeta and IL-2:IL-2Rgamma interactions, but also allosterically lowered the IL-2:IL-2Ralpha affinity through a "triggered exchange" mechanism favoring IL-2Ralpha(hi) Treg cells, creating a positive feedback loop for IL-2Ralpha(hi) cell activation. Conversely, S4B6 sterically blocked the IL-2:IL-2Ralpha interaction, while also conformationally stabilizing the IL-2:IL-2Rbeta interaction, thus stimulating all IL-2-responsive immune cells, particularly IL-2Rbeta(hi) effector cells. These insights provide a molecular blueprint for engineering selectively potentiating therapeutic antibodies.
