摘要: Interleukin-I (IL-1) molecules are cytokines involved in the acute-phase response against infection and injury. Three naturally occurring IL-1 known, two agonists: IL-1α IL-1β, one antagonist, 1L-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra). Although action protects organism by enhancing to pathogens, its overproduction can lead pathology has been implicated disease states that include septic shock, rheumatoid arthritis, graft versus host certain leukemias. The crystal structure of IL-1ra solved at 0.21-nm resolution molecular replacement using IL-1β as a search model. crystals contain independent which very similar, same fold IL-1β. consists twelve β-strands form six-stranded β-barrel, closed on side three β-hairpin loops. Cys69 Cys116 linked via disulfide bond Pro53 built cisconformation. Comparison with structures present Protein Data Bank shows putative interaction region, involving N-terminus up beginning strand β1 loops D G, is different molecules. Other regions, identified mutagenesis studies, structurally conserved rigid, allowing precise specific interactions receptor.
