  ABSTRACT  
 
Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) plays a vital role in the embryonic development of the skeleton and other tissues. When it is produced in excess by cancers it can cause hypercalcemia, and its local production by breast cancer cells has been implicated in the pathogenesis of bone metastasis formation in that disease. Antibodies have been developed that neutralize the action of PTHrP through its receptor, parathyroid hormone receptor 1, without influencing parathyroid hormone action through the same receptor. Such neutralizing antibodies against PTHrP are therapeutically effective in animal models of the humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy and of bone metastasis formation. We have determined the crystal structure of the complex between PTHrP (residues 1-108) and a neutralizing monoclonal anti-PTHrP antibody that reveals the only point of contact is an alpha-helical structure extending from residues 14-29. Another striking feature is that the same residues that interact with the antibody also interact with parathyroid hormone receptor 1, showing that the antibody and the receptor binding site on the hormone closely overlap. The structure explains how the antibody discriminates between the two hormones and provides information that could be used in the development of novel agonists and antagonists of their common receptor.

Figure 1.
Structure of the PTHrP-antibody complex. a, view of the final difference (F[obs] − F[calc]) electron density map (blue transparent surface) in the vicinity of the hormone, at 2.0 Å resolution, calculated using protein phases derived from the final model after omitting the hormone (and surrounding atoms within 3 Å of the hormone) and performing a round of simulated annealing to remove bias. The map is contoured at 3σ with the final model overlaid upon it. b and c, view of the complex with the hormone shown in red worm (main chain) and ball-and-stick (side chain) fashion and the antibody drawn in ribbon style (the heavy chain is in blue, and light chain is in orange). b, polar interactions between the N-terminal end of the hormone with antibody. c, polar and hydrophobic interactions between the C-terminal end of the hormone with antibody. All figures were drawn using MOLSCRIPT (42) and RASTER3D (43). The electron density figure was displayed with the help of CONSCRIPT (44).
Figure 2.
Surface representation of the PTHrP binding site colored according to surface complementarity (40). The most complimentary fits are shown in red, yellow is average, and white denotes very poor or no fit. The image was generated with GRASP (45) and RASTER3D (43).
