摘要: Elucidation of the three-dimensional structure complex epidermal growth factor (EGF) and its receptor is essential for understanding molecular mechanisms EGF-receptor interaction EGF-induced receptor-receptor interaction. NMR useful to investigate interactions in solution between macromolecules at atomic resolution, but has a limitation masses target proteins: less than 300 residues. We have prepared fragment with apparent mass 40 kDa SDS gels from soluble extracellular domain EGF (sEGFR, 619 residues) by sequential limited proteolysis proteinase K bromelain. This monomeric structural consisting 202 amino acid residues (Cys302-Arg503) 18-kDa sugar chains, binds transforming factor-alpha (TGF alpha). 40-kDa dissociation constant about 1 microM human TGF alpha, which similar that parental sEGFR. sEGFR oligomerizes response while does not, suggesting sequences other this required oligomerization. The ligand-binding described report suitable analysis various physico-chemical approaches such as NMR.
