Abstract
Human IL-10 (hIL-10) is a cytokine that modulates diverse immune responses. The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) genome contains an IL-10 homolog (vIL-10) that shares high sequence and structural similarity with hIL-10. Although vIL-10 suppresses inflammatory responses like hIL-10, it cannot activate many other immunostimulatory functions performed by the cellular cytokine. These functional differences have been correlated with the approximately 1000-fold lower affinity of vIL-10, compared to hIL-10, for the IL-10R1 receptor chain. To define the structural basis for these observations, crystal structures of vIL-10 and a vIL-10 point mutant were determined bound to the soluble IL-10R1 receptor fragment (sIL-10R1) at 2.8 and 2.7 A resolution, respectively. The structures reveal that subtle changes in the conformation and dynamics of the vIL-10 AB and CD loops and an orientation change of vIL-10 on sIL-10R1 are the main factors responsible for vIL-10's reduced affinity for sIL-10R1 and its distinct biological profile.

Figure 2. Viral and Human IL-10 Orientations and Interdomain Angles
(A) hIL-10, (B) vIL-10, and (C) cmvIL-10 dimers bound to sIL-10R1 are shown. The interdomain angles of each IL-10 are shown at the top of each complex. The rotations (in degrees) of each IL-10 domain on the surface of sIL-10R1 are denoted by arrows where the movement is from the circle to the arrowhead. For cmvIL-10/sIL-10R1 complex, the rotation of each sIL-10R1 relative to the hIL-10/sIL-10R1 complex is also shown.
