Abstract
The crystal structure of a dimeric 2:2:2 FGF:FGFR:heparin ternary complex at 3 A resolution has been determined. Within each 1:1 FGF:FGFR complex, heparin makes numerous contacts with both FGF and FGFR, thereby augmenting FGF-FGFR binding. Heparin also interacts with FGFR in the adjoining 1:1 FGF:FGFR complex to promote FGFR dimerization. The 6-O-sulfate group of heparin plays a pivotal role in mediating both interactions. The unexpected stoichiometry of heparin binding in the structure led us to propose a revised model for FGFR dimerization. Biochemical data in support of this model are also presented. This model provides a structural basis for FGFR activation by small molecule heparin analogs and may facilitate the design of heparin mimetics capable of modulating FGF signaling.

Only the C[α] traces of D2s (cyan) and FGFs (orange) are shown. The decasaccharides are rendered in white sticks.(B) Stereo view of F[o] −F[c] electron density map computed after simulated annealing with decasaccharide omitted from the atomic model. The map is computed at 3.0 Å resolution and contoured at 1.8 σ. Sugar rings are labeled A through H starting at the nonreducing end of the decasaccharide. Atom coloring is as follows: oxygens in red, sulfurs in yellow, nitrogens in blue, and carbons in gray. This figure was made using Bobscript ([4]).

The view is from the top (same view as Figure 1A ) looking down into the heparin binding canyon. Surface coloring is as follows: FGF2 in orange and D2 in green. Only the first six sugar rings of the decasaccharides are rendered in ball-and-stick, and the nonreducing and reducing ends are labeled. This figure was created with GRASP ( [20]).
