SOLUTION STRUCTURE OF TGF-B1, NMR, MINIMIZED AVERAGE STRUCTURE
Structural highlights
Disease[TGFB1_HUMAN] Defects in TGFB1 are the cause of Camurati-Engelmann disease (CE) [MIM:131300]; also known as progressive diaphyseal dysplasia 1 (DPD1). CE is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by hyperostosis and sclerosis of the diaphyses of long bones. The disease typically presents in early childhood with pain, muscular weakness and waddling gait, and in some cases other features such as exophthalmos, facial paralysis, hearing difficulties and loss of vision.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Function[TGFB1_HUMAN] Multifunctional protein that controls proliferation, differentiation and other functions in many cell types. Many cells synthesize TGFB1 and have specific receptors for it. It positively and negatively regulates many other growth factors. It plays an important role in bone remodeling as it is a potent stimulator of osteoblastic bone formation, causing chemotaxis, proliferation and differentiation in committed osteoblasts.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe three-dimensional solution structure of human transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) has been determined using multinuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and a hybrid distance geometry/ simulated annealing algorithm. It represents one of the first examples of a mammalian protein structure that has been solved by isotopic labeling of the protein in a eukaryotic cell line and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. The solution structure of the 25 kDa disulfide-linked TGF-beta 1 homodimer was calculated from over 3200 distance and dihedral angle restraints. The final ensemble of 33 accepted structures had no NOE or dihedral angle violations greater than 0.30 A and 5.0 degrees, respectively. The RMSD of backbone atoms for the ensemble of 33 structures relative to their mean structure was 1.1 A when all residues were used in the alignment and 0.7 A when loop regions were omitted. The solution structure of TGF-beta 1 follows two independently determined crystal structures of TGF-beta 2 (Daopin et al., 1992, 1993; Schlunegger & Grutter, 1992, 1993), providing the first opportunity to examine structural differences between the two isoforms at the molecular level. Although the structures are very similar, with an RMSD in backbone atom positions of 1.4 A when loop regions are omitted in the alignment and 1.9 A when all residues are considered, there are several notable differences in structure and flexibility which may be related to function. The clearest example of these is in the beta-turn from residues 69-72: the turn type found in the solution structure of TGF-beta 1 falls into the category of type II, whereas that present in the X-ray crystal structure of TGF-beta 2 is more consistent with a type I turn conformation. This may be of functional significance as studies using TGF-beta chimeras and deletion mutants indicate that this portion of the molecule may be important in receptor binding.
