Activation mechanism of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptor

Tamada, Taro; Honjo, Eijiro; Kuroki, Ryota

The crystal structure of the signaling complex of human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF) and ligand binding region of human GCSF receptor (GCSF-R) has been determined to 2.8 ${AA}$ resolution. The GCSF:GCSF-R complex formed a 2:2 stoichiometry via a cross-over interaction between the Ig-like domains of GCSF-R and GCSF. The conformation of the complex is quite different to that between human GCSF and the CRH domain of mouse GCSF-R. This cross-over homodimerization necessary for GCSF-R activation is consistent with previously reported thermodynamic and mutational studies.
