Complex of integrin alphaV/beta8 and L-TGF-beta1 at a ratio of 1:2Complex of integrin alphaV/beta8 and L-TGF-beta1 at a ratio of 1:2
Structural highlights
Function[ITAV_HUMAN] The alpha-V integrins are receptors for vitronectin, cytotactin, fibronectin, fibrinogen, laminin, matrix metalloproteinase-2, osteopontin, osteomodulin, prothrombin, thrombospondin and vWF. They recognize the sequence R-G-D in a wide array of ligands. In case of HIV-1 infection, the interaction with extracellular viral Tat protein seems to enhance angiogenesis in Kaposi's sarcoma lesions. Publication Abstract from PubMedMyeloid lineage cells present the latent form of transforming growth factor-beta1 (L-TGF-beta1) to the membrane using an anchor protein LRRC33. Integrin alphaVbeta8 activates extracellular L-TGF-beta1 to trigger the downstream signaling functions. However, the mechanism designating the specificity of TGF-beta1 presentation and activation remains incompletely understood. Here, we report cryo-EM structures of human L-TGF-beta1/LRRC33 and integrin alphaVbeta8/L-TGF-beta1 complexes. Combined with biochemical and cell-based analyses, we demonstrate that LRRC33 only presents L-TGF-beta1 but not the -beta2 or -beta3 isoforms due to difference of key residues on the growth factor domains. Moreover, we reveal a 2:2 binding mode of integrin alphaVbeta8 and L-TGF-beta1, which shows higher avidity and more efficient L-TGF-beta1 activation than previously reported 1:2 binding mode. We also uncover that the disulfide-linked loop of the integrin subunit beta8 determines its exquisite affinity to L-TGF-beta1. Together, our findings provide important insights into the specificity of TGF-beta1 signaling achieved by LRRC33 and integrin alphaVbeta8.
