Crystal structure of human FGF19
OverviewOverview
Unique among FGFs, fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-19, FGF21 and FGF23 act, in an endocrine fashion to regulate energy, bile acid, glucose, lipid, phosphate, and vitamin D homeostasis. These FGFs require the presence of, klotho/betaklotho in their target tissues. Here, we present the crystal, structures of FGF19 alone and of FGF23 in complex with sucrose, octasulfate, a disaccharide chemically related to heparin. The, conformation of the heparin-binding region between beta strands 10 and 12, in FGF19 and FGF23 diverges completely from the common conformation, adopted by paracrine-acting FGFs. A cleft between this region and the, beta1-beta2 loop, the other heparin-binding region, precludes direct, interaction between heparin/heparan sulfate and backbone atoms of, FGF19/23. This reduces the heparin-binding affinity of these ligands and, confers endocrine function. Klotho/betaklotho have evolved as a, compensatory mechanism for the poor ability of heparin/heparan sulfate to, promote binding of FGF19/21/23 to their cognate receptors.
