  ABSTRACT  
 
The secreted glycoprotein sclerostin has recently emerged as a key negative regulator of Wnt signaling in bone and has stimulated considerable interest as a potential target for therapeutics designed to treat conditions associated with low bone mass, such as osteoporosis. We have determined the structure of sclerostin, which resulted in the identification of a previously unknown binding site for heparin, suggestive of a functional role in localizing sclerostin to the surface of target cells. We have also mapped the interaction site for an antibody that blocks the inhibition of Wnt signaling by sclerostin. This shows minimal overlap with the heparin binding site and highlights a key role for this region of sclerostin in protein interactions associated with the inhibition of Wnt signaling. The conserved N- and C-terminal arms of sclerostin were found to be unstructured, highly flexible, and unaffected by heparin binding, which suggests a role in stabilizing interactions with target proteins.

Figure 4.
Surface features of sclerostin. Panels A and B show contact surface views of sclerostin, which are colored according to electrostatic potential, with areas of significant positive charge shown in blue, significant negative charge in red, and neutral in white. The orientation of the protein in panel A is equivalent to the ribbon representation in panel C. The location of the hydrophobic patch on the concave surface of the extended finger-like structures is indicated by the arrow. Panels C and D show a ribbon representation of sclerostin, with the positions of the basic side chains from arginine and lysine residues highlighted.
Figure 6.
Localization of sclerostin to the surface of cells. The top section of panel A shows a Western blot (with an antibody to sclerostin) of 24-h supernatants obtained from MC3T3-E1 cells transfected with wild type human sclerostin. The transfections and treatments were as follows: 1, empty vector; 2, sclerostin; 3, empty vector with heparin added to a final concentration of 500 μg/ml; 4-12, sclerostin with heparin added to final concentrations of 500, 250, 100, 50, 25, 12.5, 1, 0.5, and 0.25 μg/ml, respectively. The bottom section of panel A shows the Western blot of samples generated from corresponding wells incubated with a lysis buffer to determine the total amount of sclerostin being produced. The top section of panel B shows the Western blot (with an antibody to sclerostin) obtained for samples of 24-h supernatants from MC3T3-E1 cells transfected with vectors encoding wild type or mutant sclerostin. The transfections were as follows: 1, empty vector; 2, wild type sclerostin; 3, sclerostin R114A, R116A, and R119A; 4, sclerostin K134A and R136A; 5, sclerostin R97A, K99A, and R102A; 6, sclerostin K142A, K144A, and R145A. The bottom section of panel B shows the Western blot obtained for equivalent samples of total cell lysates.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB codes are shown on the right.
