Discovery and characterization of cooperative ligand binding in the adaptive region of interleukin-2.

  ABSTRACT  
 
The cytokine hormone interleukin-2 (IL-2) contains a highly adaptive region that binds small, druglike molecules. The binding properties of this adaptive region have been explored using a "tethering" method that relies on the formation of a disulfide bond between the protein and small-molecule ligands. Using tethering, surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and X-ray crystallography, we have discovered that the IL-2 adaptive region contains at least two cooperative binding sites where the binding of a first ligand to one site promotes or antagonizes the binding of a second ligand to the second site. Cooperative energies of interaction of -2 kcal/mol are observed. The observation that the adaptive region contains two adjacent sites may lead to the development of tight-binding antagonists of a protein-protein interaction. Cooperative ligand binding in the adaptive region of IL-2 underscores the importance of protein dynamics in molecular recognition. The tethering approach provides a novel and general strategy for discovering such cooperative binding interactions in specific, flexible regions of protein structure.

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 codes are shown on the right.
