Crystal Structure of a 1:1:1 FGF23-FGFR1c-aKlotho Ternary Complex
Structural highlights
DiseaseKLOT_HUMAN Familial tumoral calcinosis. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. FunctionKLOT_HUMAN May have weak glycosidase activity towards glucuronylated steroids. However, it lacks essential active site Glu residues at positions 239 and 872, suggesting it may be inactive as a glycosidase in vivo. May be involved in the regulation of calcium and phosphorus homeostasis by inhibiting the synthesis of active vitamin D (By similarity). Essential factor for the specific interaction between FGF23 and FGFR1 (By similarity). The Klotho peptide generated by cleavage of the membrane-bound isoform may be an anti-aging circulating hormone which would extend life span by inhibiting insulin/IGF1 signaling. Publication Abstract from PubMedThe ageing suppressor alpha-klotho binds to the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR). This commits FGFR to respond to FGF23, a key hormone in the regulation of mineral ion and vitamin D homeostasis. The role and mechanism of this co-receptor are unknown. Here we present the atomic structure of a 1:1:1 ternary complex that consists of the shed extracellular domain of alpha-klotho, the FGFR1c ligand-binding domain, and FGF23. In this complex, alpha-klotho simultaneously tethers FGFR1c by its D3 domain and FGF23 by its C-terminal tail, thus implementing FGF23-FGFR1c proximity and conferring stability. Dimerization of the stabilized ternary complexes and receptor activation remain dependent on the binding of heparan sulfate, a mandatory cofactor of paracrine FGF signalling. The structure of alpha-klotho is incompatible with its purported glycosidase activity. Thus, shed alpha-klotho functions as an on-demand non-enzymatic scaffold protein that promotes FGF23 signalling. alpha-Klotho is a non-enzymatic molecular scaffold for FGF23 hormone signalling.,Chen G, Liu Y, Goetz R, Fu L, Jayaraman S, Hu MC, Moe OW, Liang G, Li X, Mohammadi M Nature. 2018 Jan 25;553(7689):461-466. doi: 10.1038/nature25451.
