Abstract
The low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) interacts with more than 30 ligands of different sizes and structures that can all be replaced by the receptor-associated protein (RAP). The double module of complement type repeats, CR56, of LRP binds many ligands including all three domains of RAP and alpha2-macroglobulin, which promotes the catabolism of the Abeta-peptide implicated in Alzheimer's disease. To understand the receptor-ligand cross-talk, the NMR structure of CR56 has been solved and ligand binding experiments with RAP domain 1 (RAPd1) have been performed. From chemical shift perturbations of both binding partners upon complex formation, a HADDOCK model of the complex between CR56 and RAPd1 has been obtained. The binding residues are similar to a common binding motif suggested from alpha2-macroglobulin binding studies and provide evidence for an understanding of their mutual cross-competition pattern. The present structural results convey a simultaneous description of both binding partners of an LRP-ligand complex and open a route to a broader understanding of the binding specificity of the LRP receptor, which may involve a general four-residue receptor-ligand recognition motif common to all LRP ligands. The present result may be beneficial in the design of antagonists of ligand binding to the LDL receptor family, and especially of drugs for treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Full text Abstract
Figure 3.
Fig. 3. (a) A stereo view of the backbone of RAPd1T structure. Helix H1 is red, H2 is yellow, and H3 is green. The unordered parts (see legend to Fig. 2) of the molecule are shown as thin gray lines. (b) The water-accessible surface of the RAPd1T structure. The color code is as in a. The arrow points to the position of^ the groove that may be the structural component involved in receptor binding. The figure has been prepared using INSIGHT II (Biosym Technologies, San Diego).
Figure 4.
Fig. 4. The interactions of Phe-20 (shown by spacefilling of the side chain) with residues from H1 and H2 are shown. The red (oxygen) and white (hydrogen) spacefillings mark the hydrogen bonds between the side chain of Asn-26 and the backbone of Phe-20. The figure^ has been prepared using Insight II (Biosym Technologies).
