Heterodimeric cytokine receptors generally consist of a major
cytokine-binding subunit and a signaling subunit. The latter can
transduce signals by more than 1 cytokine, as exemplified by the
granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-2 (IL-2), and IL-6 receptor systems. However, often the
signaling subunits in isolation are unable to bind cytokines, a fact
that has made it more difficult to obtain structural definition of
their ligand-binding sites. This report details the crystal structure
of the ligand-binding domain of the GM-CSF/IL-3/IL-5 receptor  -chain
(c) signaling subunit in complex with the Fab fragment
of the antagonistic monoclonal antibody, BION-1. This is the first
single antagonist of all 3 known eosinophil-producing cytokines, and it
is therefore capable of regulating eosinophil-related diseases such as
asthma. The structure reveals a fibronectin type III domain, and the
antagonist-binding site involves major contributions from the loop
between the B and C strands and overlaps the cytokine-binding site.
Furthermore, tyrosine421 (Tyr421), a key
residue involved in receptor activation, lies in the neighboring loop
between the F and G strands, although it is not immediately adjacent to
the cytokine-binding residues in the B-C loop. Interestingly,
functional experiments using receptors mutated across these loops
demonstrate that they are cooperatively involved in full receptor
activation. The experiments, however, reveal subtle differences between
the B-C loop and Tyr421, which is suggestive of distinct
functional roles. The elucidation of the structure of the
ligand-binding domain of c also suggests how different
cytokines recognize a single receptor subunit, which may have
implications for homologous receptor systems.
