  ABSTRACT  
 
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a homodimeric hormone that induces proliferation of endothelial cells through binding to the kinase domain receptor and the Fms-like tyrosine kinase receptor (Flt-1), the extracellular portions of which consist of seven immunoglobulin domains. We show that the second and third domains of Flt-1 are necessary and sufficient for binding VEGF with near-native affinity, and that domain 2 alone binds only 60-fold less tightly than wild-type. The crystal structure of the complex between VEGF and the second domain of Flt-1 shows domain 2 in a predominantly hydrophobic interaction with the "poles" of the VEGF dimer. Based on this structure and on mutational data, we present a model of VEGF bound to the first four domains of Flt-1.

Figure 2.
Figure 2. Ribbon Rendering of Flt-1[D2], in Two Views Related by a Rotation of Approximately 90° about the Vertical AxisThe termini and the secondary structure elements as defined by the program Procheck ([26]) are labeled; β strands are rendered as green arrows, the helical turn as a green ribbon, and the loop regions as gray tubes. The disulfide bond is shown in ball-and-stick rendering, with sulfur atoms colored yellow. The two potential N-linked glycosylation sites at Asn-164 and Asn-196 are colored blue. The VEGF binding site is located on the “bottom†end of the five-stranded sheet; residues in contact with VEGF in the complex are colored red. A segment near the N terminus, which forms strand βa in members of the I set of the immunoglobulin superfamily, bulges away from the core of the domain. This figure was created using the program MOLMOL ( [24]).

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.
