STRUCTURE OF INTERLEUKIN 16: IMPLICATIONS FOR FUNCTION, NMR, 20 STRUCTURES
Structural highlights
FunctionIL16_HUMAN Interleukin-16 stimulates a migratory response in CD4+ lymphocytes, monocytes, and eosinophils. Primes CD4+ T-cells for IL-2 and IL-15 responsiveness. Also induces T-lymphocyte expression of interleukin 2 receptor. Ligand for CD4.[1] [2] Isoform 1 may act as a scaffolding protein that anchors ion channels in the membrane.[3] [4] Isoform 3 is involved in cell cycle progression in T-cells. Appears to be involved in transcriptional regulation of SKP2 and is probably part of a transcriptional repression complex on the core promoter of the SKP2 gene. May act as a scaffold for GABPB1 (the DNA-binding subunit the GABP transcription factor complex) and HDAC3 thus maintaining transcriptional repression and blocking cell cycle progression in resting T-cells.[5] [6] Evolutionary ConservationCheck, as determined by ConSurfDB.
