'''NMR STRUCTURE OF THE LIGAND BINDING DOMAIN OF THE COMMON BETA-CHAIN IN THE GM-CSF, IL-3 AND IL-5 RECEPTORS'''<br />


==Overview==
==Overview==
The haemopoietic cytokines, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating, factor, interleukin-3 and interleukin-5 bind to cell-surface receptors, comprising ligand-specific alpha-chains and a shared beta-chain. The, beta-chain is the critical signalling subunit of the receptor and its, fourth domain not only plays a critical role in interactions with ligands, hence in receptor activation, but also contains residues whose mutation, can lead to ligand-independent activation of the receptor. We have, determined the NMR solution structure of the isolated human fourth domain, of the beta-chain. The protein has a fibronectin type III fold with a, well-defined hydrophobic core and is stabilised by an extensive network of, pi-cation interactions involving Trp and Arg side-chains, including two, Trp residues outside the highly conserved Trp-Ser-Xaa-Trp-Ser motif (where, Xaa is any amino acid) that is found in many cytokine receptors. Most of, the residues implicated in factor-independent mutants localise to the, rigid core of the domain or the pi-cation stack. The loops between the B, and C, and the F and G strands, that contain residues important for, interactions with cytokines, lie adjacent at the membrane-distal end of, the domain, consistent with their being involved cooperatively in binding, cytokines. The elucidation of the structure of the cytokine-binding domain, of the beta-chain provides insight into the cytokine-dependent and, factor-independent activation of the receptor.
