Abstract
We have determined the 2.6 angstrom crystal structure of the entire extracellular region of human HER3 (ErbB3), a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family. The structure consists of four domains with structural homology to domains found in the type I insulin-like growth factor receptor. The HER3 structure reveals a contact between domains II and IV that constrains the relative orientations of ligand-binding domains and provides a structural basis for understanding both multiple-affinity forms of EGFRs and conformational changes induced in the receptor by ligand binding during signaling. These results also suggest new therapeutic approaches to modulating the behavior of members of the EGFR family.

Fig. 2. The domain II/IV contact. (A) Side chains of residues that mediate contacts between domain II (green) and domain IV (red) are shown. Hydrogen bonds and salt bridges are indicated by dashed lines. This figure was made with MOLSCRIPT (36). (B) Alignment of human ErbB receptor sequences from the domain II/IV contact regions. Residues with direct contacts to one another in sHER3 are highlighted in similar colors. Pro593 and Phe^595 of HER2, which fail to conserve the pattern of contact residues, are underlined.

Fig. 3. Surface representations of sHER3 and EGF (32). sHER3 is rotated ~180° about a vertical axis relative to its orientation in Fig. 1A. EGF and the sites in sHER3 (Y104 and V333) homologous to the sites in HER1 to which EGF cross-links (30, 31) are in red. Domains I to IV and the domain II/IV connection are labeled. This figure was made with the program GRASP (37).
