Method: X-ray diffraction, Resolution 1.82Å Ligands: , Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Disease IGF1_HUMAN Defects in IGF1 are the cause of insulin-like growth factor I deficiency (IGF1 deficiency) [MIM:608747. IGF1 deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by growth retardation, sensorineural deafness and mental retardation. Function IGF1_HUMAN The insulin-like growth factors, isolated from plasma, are structurally and functionally related to insulin but have a much higher growth-promoting activity. May be a physiological regulator of [1-14C]-2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) transport and glycogen synthesis in osteoblasts. Stimulates glucose transport in rat bone-derived osteoblastic (PyMS) cells and is effective at much lower concentrations than insulin, not only regarding glycogen and DNA synthesis but also with regard to enhancing glucose uptake.

Publication Abstract from PubMed Despite efforts spanning considerably more than a decade, a high-resolution view of the family of proteins known as insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) has remained elusive. IGF-1 consists of three helical segments which are connected by a 12-residue linker known as the C-region. NMR studies of members of this family reveal a dynamic structure with a topology resembling insulin but little structural definition in the C-region. We have crystallized IGF-1 in the presence of the detergent deoxy big CHAPS, and determined its structure at 1.8 A resolution by multiwavelength anomalous diffraction, exploiting the anomalous scattering of a single bromide ion and six of the seven sulfur atoms of IGF-1. The structure reveals a well-defined conformation for much of the C-region, which extends away from the core of IGF-1 and has residues known to be involved in receptor binding prominently displayed in a type II beta-turn. In the crystal, these residues form a dimer interface, but analytical ultracentrifugation experiments demonstrate that at physiological concentrations IGF-1 is monomeric. A single detergent molecule contacts residues known to be important for IGF-1 binding protein (IGFBP) interactions. Biophysical and biochemical data show that the detergent binds to IGF-1 specifically and blocks binding of IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-3.
