  ABSTRACT  
 
The interplay between bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and their antagonists governs developmental and cellular processes as diverse as establishment of the embryonic dorsal-ventral axis, induction of neural tissue, formation of joints in the skeletal system and neurogenesis in the adult brain. So far, the three-dimensional structures of BMP antagonists and the structural basis for inactivation have remained unknown. Here we report the crystal structure of the antagonist Noggin bound to BMP-7, which shows that Noggin inhibits BMP signalling by blocking the molecular interfaces of the binding epitopes for both type I and type II receptors. The BMP-7-binding affinity of site-specific variants of Noggin is correlated with alterations in bone formation and apoptosis in chick limb development, showing that Noggin functions by sequestering its ligand in an inactive complex. The scaffold of Noggin contains a cystine (the oxidized form of cysteine) knot topology similar to that of BMPs; thus, ligand and antagonist seem to have evolved from a common ancestral gene.

Figure 2.
Figure 2: Structure of the Noggin -BMP-7 complex. a, Ribbon diagram of the Noggin -BMP-7 complex in stereo, viewed with the two-fold symmetry axis vertical. Noggin subunits are blue and light blue, BMP-7 homodimer subunits are red and gold, sulphur atoms of cystine linkages are yellow spheres, and the N-acetylglucosamines of BMP-7 are shown as balls-and-sticks. The fingers (f1 and f2) of Noggin and BMP-7 are labelled near their tips. b, Superposition of free (grey) and Noggin-bound (red) BMP-7 monomers, viewed from above the complex shown in a down the two-fold axis. c, Noggin -BMP-7 complex coloured as a rainbow gradient with respect to B-factor values (blue, lowest; red, highest) to depict relative order and disorder. Substitutions in disease-causing Noggin mutants are black, substitutions in variant constructs are light grey (Asp 39, Leu 46, Glu 48, Val 186, Arg 206, Ile 218, Cys 232) or black (Pro 35). Heparin-binding site residues of Noggin (Gln 131 to Lys 144 and putatively Gln 110, Arg 111) are blue. Asn 62 and Thr 64 comprise the N-linked glycosylation signal. Only one set of residues is labelled, although both chains are marked. Boxed regions I and II frame the views in Fig. 4b, c, respectively.
Figure 3.
Figure 3: The Noggin monomer contains a 'growth factor' cystine knot scaffold. Superposition of Noggin (blue) and free BMP-7 (gold) monomers. Common -strands ( 1 - 4) for fingers f1 and f2 are labelled. In the conserved cystine knot scaffold, 67 C atoms align with an r.m.s. deviation of 1.74 Å, which is in the range (1.4 -3.7 Å) observed for the cystine knot growth factor superfamily25.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB code is shown on the right.
