Structural highlights
Disease[BMR1A_HUMAN] Defects in BMPR1A are a cause of juvenile polyposis syndrome (JPS) [MIM:174900]; also known as juvenile intestinal polyposis (JIP). JPS is an autosomal dominant gastrointestinal hamartomatous polyposis syndrome in which patients are at risk for developing gastrointestinal cancers. The lesions are typified by a smooth histological appearance, predominant stroma, cystic spaces and lack of a smooth muscle core. Multiple juvenile polyps usually occur in a number of Mendelian disorders. Sometimes, these polyps occur without associated features as in JPS; here, polyps tend to occur in the large bowel and are associated with an increased risk of colon and other gastrointestinal cancers.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Defects in BMPR1A are a cause of Cowden disease (CD) [MIM:158350]. CD is an autosomal dominant cancer syndrome characterized by multiple hamartomas and by a high risk for breast, thyroid and endometrial cancers.[6] [7] Defects in BMPR1A are the cause of hereditary mixed polyposis syndrome 2 (HMPS2) [MIM:610069]. Hereditary mixed polyposis syndrome (HMPS) is characterized by atypical juvenile polyps, colonic adenomas, and colorectal carcinomas.[8] Note=A microdeletion of chromosome 10q23 involving BMPR1A and PTEN is a cause of chromosome 10q23 deletion syndrome, which shows overlapping features of the following three disorders: Bannayan-Zonana syndrome, Cowden disease and juvenile polyposis syndrome.[9] Function[BMP2_HUMAN] Induces cartilage and bone formation. [AVR2A_MOUSE] On ligand binding, forms a receptor complex consisting of two type II and two type I transmembrane serine/threonine kinases. Type II receptors phosphorylate and activate type I receptors which autophosphorylate, then bind and activate SMAD transcriptional regulators. Receptor for activin A, activin B and inhibin A. [BMR1A_HUMAN] On ligand binding, forms a receptor complex consisting of two type II and two type I transmembrane serine/threonine kinases. Type II receptors phosphorylate and activate type I receptors which autophosphorylate, then bind and activate SMAD transcriptional regulators. Receptor for BMP-2 and BMP-4.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe crystal structure of the complete signaling complex formed between bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2) and the extracellular domains (ECDs) of its type I receptor [bone morphogenetic protein receptor type Ia (BMPR-Ia)-ECD] and its type II receptor [activin receptor type II (ActRII)-ECD] shows two fundamental structural constraints for receptor assembly. First, the homodimeric BMP-2 ligand assembles two pairs of each receptor symmetrically, where each of the receptor ECDs does not make physical contact. Therefore, conformational communication between receptor ECDs, if any, should be propagated through the central ligand. Second, the type I and II receptor interfaces of the complex, when compared with those of binary complexes such as BMP-2/BMPR Ia-ECD, BMP-7/ActRII-ECD, and activin/ActRIIb-ECD, respectively, show there are common sets of positions repeatedly used by both ligands and receptors. Therefore, specificity-determining amino acid differences at the receptor interfaces should also account for the disparity in affinity of individual receptors for different ligand subunits. We find that a specific mutation to BMP-2 increases its affinity to ActRII-ECD by 5-fold. These results together establish that the specific signaling output is largely determined by two variables, the ligand-receptor pair identity and the mode of cooperative assembly of relevant receptors governed by the ligand flexibility in a membrane-restricted manner.
