Abstract
Activins and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) elicit diverse biological responses by signaling through two pairs of structurally related type I and type II receptors. Here we report the crystal structure of BMP7 in complex with the extracellular domain (ECD) of the activin type II receptor. Our structure produces a compelling four-receptor model, revealing that the types I and II receptor ECDs make no direct contacts. Nevertheless, we find that truncated receptors lacking their cytoplasmic domain retain the ability to cooperatively assemble in the cell membrane. Also, the affinity of BMP7 for its low-affinity type I receptor ECD increases 5-fold in the presence of its type II receptor ECD. Taken together, our results provide a view of the ligand-mediated cooperative assembly of BMP and activin receptors that does not rely on receptor-receptor contacts.
Figure 1.
Figure 1. The Structure of the BMP7/ActRII-ECD Complex(A and B) Ribbon diagrams of the BMP7/ActRII-ECD complex (A) with the 2-fold symmetry axis vertical and the membrane facing side at the bottom and (B) the view from above (BMP7, gold and rust; ActRII-ECD, green; cystine sulfurs, yellow space-filling).(C) Stereo view of the interface between BMP7 and ActRII in an orientation close to (A). The residues within 4 Å of the binding partner as well as Glu29 are displayed as balls and sticks. Glu29 and those residues whose mutations are known to affect binding (pink, Figure 2) are labeled.In (A)–(C) significant conformational changes are highlighted (dark blue), and in (C) they are overlaid with the unbound conformations (light blue). This figure was made using MOLSCRIPT (Kraulis, 1991).

Figure 3. The Model of the BMP7/ActRII/BMPRIa Six-Chain Signaling ComplexBMPRIa (purple) was placed in the complex by aligning the BMP2/BMPRIa structure (Kirsch et al., 2000a) with BMP7.(A) Side view as in Figure 1A is shown as a solvent accessible surface. The horizontal line represents the plane of the membrane.(B) Bottom view (opposite from Figure 1B). Sugars are in black. The C termini are marked with yellow dots and the horizontal distances between them as projected onto the plane of the membrane are 83 Å for type II-type II, 66 Å for type I-type I, and 27 Å and 68 Å for type I-type II. (A) and (B) were prepared with DINO (Philippsen, 2001).(C) Stereo view of ActRII and TGF-βRII bound to their respective ligands overlaid with the BMP2/BMPRIa structure. The BMP7/ActRII complex was aligned as in (A) using the entire ligand. In order to overlay the TGF-βRII binding site (tip of finger 2 on TGF-β3) with BMP2, only 14 residues (86–92 and 98–104 of BMP2) were used for the alignment (Hart et al., 2002). The color scheme is BMP2, white; BMP7, gold; ActRII, green; TGF-β3, blue; TGF-βRII, red; BMPRIa, purple. The receptors and their C termini are labeled.
