Figure 2. Structural Similarity between IL-2Rα and IL-13Rα1 Cytokine Engagement
(A) The quaternary complex of IL-2 (pink), IL-2Rα (cyan), IL-2Rβ (blue), and γ[c] (gold). IL-2Rα is bound to the top surface of IL-2.
(B) Ternary complex of IL-13 (yellow-orange), IL-4Rα (blue), and IL-13Rα1 (green).
(C) As viewed from the top, the overlapping cytokine binding sites by IL-2Rα and IL-13Rα1 D1 domains are apparent. Semitransparent ovals have been drawn around the D1 domain of IL-2Rα and IL-13Rα1 so that regions of overlap are clear.
