Abstract
The urokinase plasminogen activator binds to its cellular receptor with high affinity and initiates signaling cascades that are implicated in pathological processes including tumor growth, metastasis, and inflammation. We report the crystal structure at 1.9 angstroms of the urokinase receptor complexed with the urokinase amino-terminal fragment and an antibody against the receptor. The three domains of urokinase receptor form a concave shape with a central cone-shaped cavity where the urokinase fragment inserts. The structure provides insight into the flexibility of the urokinase receptor that enables its interaction with a wide variety of ligands and a basis for the design of urokinase-urokinase receptor antagonists.
Figure 1.
Fig. 1. X-ray structure of the suPAR-ATF-ATN615 complex. (A) Stereo view of the structure of the suPAR-ATF-ATN615 complex. In the ribbon diagram of the ternary complex, the D1 domain of suPAR is shown in orange, the D2 domain in magenta, and the D3 domain in green. The ATF is shown in cyan, light chain of the antibody ATN615 in light blue, and the heavy chain in dark blue. Carbohydrates in suPAR are shown as red sticks. Disulfide bonds are shown in dashed lines colored as is the backbone to which they are attached. (B) Ribbon structure of ATF. The GFD domain is shown in cyan and the kringle domain in dark salmon. The residues Leu14, His41, Ile^44, Asp45, Arg59, Leu92, and Tyr101 involved in domain interactions are shown as sticks. -loop (residues 23 to 29) connects two ß strands (residues 18 to 22 and 30 to 32) in the GFD domain. The kringle domain contains two strands (residues 112 to 117 and 120 to 125) and two short helices (78 to 81 and 91 to 94). All figures were made by PyMOL (23).

Fig. 3. The suPAR-ATF binding surface. The carbon atoms of the D1 domain of uPAR are shown in orange, the D2 in magenta, and the D3 in orange. The ATF is shown in a ribbon diagram in cyan. (A) Molecular surface representation of the overall suPAR-ATF binding. The three uPAR domains form a conical cavity with a wide opening (25 Å) and large depth (14 Å) that are involved in the ATF binding. (B) Surface representation of the uPAR-ATF binding. The circled areas are regions 1 and 2 (from left to right) of uPAR-ATF interface. Oxygen atoms are shown in red, nitrogen atoms in blue, and sulfur in yellow. Waters involved in uPAR-ATF binding are shown as red spheres. Hydrogen bonds are shown as dashed lines (light blue). (C) Detailed interaction of suPAR (ribbon representation) and the ATF in stereoview. Thr8, Arg53, Glu68, Thr127, and His166 of suPAR form hydrogen bonds with Ser21, Lys23, Tyr24, Ser26, and Gln40 of ATF.
