Crystal Structure of Human Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Complexed with its Receptor

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is central to reproduction in mammals. It acts through a G-protein-coupled receptor on the surface of target cells to stimulate testicular and ovarian functions. We present here the 2.9-A-resolution structure of a partially deglycosylated complex of human FSH bound to the extracellular hormone-binding domain of its receptor (FSHR(HB)). The hormone is bound in a hand-clasp fashion to an elongated, curved receptor. The buried interface of the complex is large (2,600 A2) and has a high charge density. Our analysis suggests that all glycoprotein hormones bind to their receptors in this mode and that binding specificity is mediated by key interaction sites involving both the common alpha- and hormone-specific beta-subunits. On binding, FSH undergoes a concerted conformational change that affects protruding loops implicated in receptor activation. The FSH-FSHR(HB) complexes form dimers in the crystal and at high concentrations in solution. Such dimers may participate in transmembrane signal transduction.

About this Structure

1XWD is a 6 chains structure of sequences from Homo sapiens. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.


The leucine-rich domain of the receptor ; leucine-rich repeats often are horseshoe- or arc-shaped.



Add about cysteine-knot.
Add about seat belt.
Keep in mind this is just the leucine-rich repeat, amino-terminal portion of the receptor and that in the full receptor structure part of the chain also forms a G protein-coupled receptor and a brief intracellular domain at the C-terminus.
