Function

SDF1_HUMAN Chemoattractant active on T-lymphocytes, monocytes, but not neutrophils. Activates the C-X-C chemokine receptor CXCR4 to induce a rapid and transient rise in the level of intracellular calcium ions and chemotaxis. Also binds to another C-X-C chemokine receptor CXCR7, which activates the beta-arrestin pathway and acts as a scavenger receptor for SDF-1. SDF-1-beta(3-72) and SDF-1-alpha(3-67) show a reduced chemotactic activity. Binding to cell surface proteoglycans seems to inhibit formation of SDF-1-alpha(3-67) and thus to preserve activity on local sites. Acts as a positive regulator of monocyte migration and a negative regulator of monocyte adhesion via the LYN kinase. Stimulates migration of monocytes and T-lymphocytes through its receptors, CXCR4 and CXCR7, and decreases monocyte adherence to surfaces coated with ICAM-1, a ligand for beta-2 integrins. SDF1A/CXCR4 signaling axis inhibits beta-2 integrin LFA-1 mediated adhesion of monocytes to ICAM-1 through LYN kinase. Inhibits CXCR4-mediated infection by T-cell line-adapted HIV-1. Plays a protective role after myocardial infarction. Induces down-regulation and internalization of CXCR7 expressed in various cells. Has several critical functions during embryonic development; required for B-cell lymphopoiesis, myelopoiesis in bone marrow and heart ventricular septum formation.^[1] ^[2] ^[3] ^[4] ^[5] ^[6]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

CXCL12 binds to CXCR4, promoting both chemotaxis of lymphocytes and metastasis of cancer cells. We previously identified small molecule ligands that bind CXCL12 and block CXCR4-mediated chemotaxis. We now report a 1.9 Angstrom resolution X-ray structure of CXCL12 bound by such a molecule at a site normally bound by sY21 of CXCR4. The complex structure reveals binding hot spots for future inhibitor design and suggests a new approach to targeting CXCL12-CXCR4 signaling in drug discovery.
