  ABSTRACT  
 
Erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) is thought to be activated by ligand-induced homodimerization. However, structures of agonist and antagonist peptide complexes of EPOR, as well as an EPO-EPOR complex, have shown that the actual dimer configuration is critical for the biological response and signal efficiency. The crystal structure of the extracellular domain of EPOR in its unliganded form at 2.4 angstrom resolution has revealed a dimer in which the individual membrane-spanning and intracellular domains would be too far apart to permit phosphorylation by JAK2. This unliganded EPOR dimer is formed from self-association of the same key binding site residues that interact with EPO-mimetic peptide and EPO ligands. This model for a preformed dimer on the cell surface provides insights into the organization, activation, and plasticity of recognition of hematopoietic cell surface receptors.

Figure 1.
Fig. 1. Comparison of the unliganded and liganded EPOR receptor dimer configurations. (A) A schematic representation of the quaternary structure of the native EBP dimer. The two EBP molecules form a cross-like self dimer and are shown in cyan and gold, with their individual domains labeled D1 and D2. A close, symmetrical interaction is formed between the two EBP molecules on the basis of their previously determined ligand-binding epitope regions (11). The three-residue linker between the NH[2]-terminal helix and the FBN-III domains in both molecules is omitted because of the lack of electron density in this region and the NH[2]-terminal helices are omitted for clarity. The D1 domains of each monomer point in opposite directions, whereas the two D2 domains can both be aligned toward the membrane with a rotation of 135° between them. The membrane-proximal ends of D2 in each molecule (Thr220) are shown by a black arrow emphasizing the 73 Å separation between them. In the schematic of the unliganded self dimer (right), the different scissors-like dimer configuration keeps the intracellular ends far enough apart such that autophosphorylation of JAK-2 cannot occur and hence other phosphorylation events, such as on the cytoplasmic domain of the EPOR, do not occur. (B) The quaternary structure of the EBP-EMP1 complex. The two EBP molecules are shown in gold and cyan and the EMP1 dimer in purple. Two EMP1 peptides bind to two EBP receptor molecules in a symmetrical manner (11). The domains are labeled in D1 and D2 and the equivalent COOH-terminal membrane-proximal ends of each receptor are shown by black arrows that highlight the difference in distances and receptor dimer configurations for the unliganded native and EMP1-complexed EBPs. In the schematic of the liganded form (right), EMP1 [or EPO (13)] induces a close dimer association of both the D1 and D2 domains so that their intracellular regions become substrates for phosphorylation by two JAK-2 molecules. The stick figures were made with MIDAS (30).

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.
