Localization in human interleukin 2 of the binding site to the alpha chain (p55) of the interleukin 2 receptor.
Human interleukin 2 (IL-2) analogs with defined amino acid substitutions were used to identify specific residues that interact with the 55-kDa subunit (p55) or alpha chain of the human IL-2 receptor. Analog proteins containing specific substitutions for Lys-35, Arg-38, Phe-42, or Lys-43 were inactive in competitive binding assays for p55. All of these analogs retained substantial competitive bi...
متن کاملThe role of interleukin-2 receptor alpha in cancer.
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is the major growth factor for activated T-lymphocytes and stimulates clonal expansion and maturation of these lymphocytes. IL-2 binds to its receptor complex, IL-2Ralpha, beta, and gamma chains, and exerts its effect via second messengers, mainly tyrosine kinases, which ultimately stimulate gene expression. The heterotrimerization of the receptor chains leads to high affin...
متن کاملThe structure of interleukin-2 complexed with its alpha receptor.
Interleukin-2 (IL-2) is an immunoregulatory cytokine that binds sequentially to the alpha (IL-2Ralpha), beta (IL-2Rbeta), and common gamma chain (gammac) receptor subunits. Here we present the 2.8 angstrom crystal structure of a complex between human IL-2 and IL-2Ralpha, which interact in a docking mode distinct from that of other cytokine receptor complexes. IL-2Ralpha is composed of strand-sw...
متن کاملInternalization property of interleukin-4 receptor alpha chain increases cytotoxic effect of interleukin-4 receptor-targeted cytotoxin in cancer cells.
Although the receptor for interleukin-4 (IL-4R) is highly expressed on solid human cancer cells, its significance and internalization function is still unclear. To address these issues, we reconstituted Chinese hamster ovarian (CHO-K1) cells with various components of the IL-4R by transient transfection and performed internalization assays using radiolabeled IL-4. Radiolabeled IL-4 internalized...
متن کاملInterleukin-13 Receptor Alpha 2-Targeted Glioblastoma Immunotherapy
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most lethal primary brain tumor, and despite several refinements in its multimodal management, generally has very poor prognosis. Targeted immunotherapy is an emerging field of research that shows great promise in the treatment of GBM. One of the most extensively studied targets is the interleukin-13 receptor alpha chain variant 2 (IL13Rα2). Its selective expression on...
