Abstract
The crystal structure of FGF2 bound to a naturally occurring variant of FGF receptor 1 (FGFR1) consisting of immunoglobulin-like domains 2 (D2) and 3 (D3) has been determined at 2.8 A resolution. Two FGF2:FGFR1 complexes form a 2-fold symmetric dimer. Within each complex, FGF2 interacts extensively with D2 and D3 as well as with the linker between the two domains. The dimer is stabilized by interactions between FGF2 and D2 of the adjoining complex and by a direct interaction between D2 of each receptor. A positively charged canyon formed by a cluster of exposed basic residues likely represents the heparin-binding site. A general model for FGF- and heparin-induced FGFR dimerization is inferred from the crystal structure, unifying a wealth of biochemical data.
Figure 4.
Figure 4. Mapping of the Different Interaction Sites onto the Molecular Surfaces of FGF2 and FGFR1The surface color codings for D2, D3, the linker, and FGF2 are the same as in Figure 1. The surfaces of FGF2 and FGFR1 that form the primary and secondary interaction sites are shown in red and purple, respectively. The heparin-binding surfaces are depicted in blue. The surface on D2 engaged in direct receptor–receptor interaction is colored yellow. To better visualize the different functional surfaces on FGF2 and D23, the two molecules are pulled away from each other and rotated 90° about the vertical axis. This figure was created using the program GRASP ( [33]).

Color coding is the same as in Figure 1: FGF2 in orange, D2 in green, D3 in blue, and the linker in gray. Dotted lines represent hydrogen bonds.(B) Stereo view of the network of hydrogen bonds between FGF2 and FGFR1 in the vicinity of Arg-250 in the D2–D3 linker.(C) Stereo view of the interface between FGF2 and D3 of FGFR1.
