OverviewOverview

BACKGROUND: The insulin-like growth-factor-1 (IGF-1) receptor, which is, widely expressed in cells that have undergone oncogenic transformation, is, emerging as a novel target in cancer therapy. IGF-1-induced receptor, activation results in autophosphorylation of cytoplasmic kinase domains, and enhances their capability to phosphorylate downstream substrates., Structures of the homologous insulin receptor kinase (IRK) exist in an, open, unphosphorylated form and a closed, trisphosphorylated form., RESULTS: We have determined the 2.1 A crystal structure of the IGF-1, receptor protein tyrosine kinase domain phosphorylated at two tyrosine, residues within the activation loop (IGF-1RK2P) and bound to an ATP, analog. The ligand is not in a conformation compatible with phosphoryl, transfer, and the activation loop is partially disordered. Compared to the, homologous insulin receptor kinase, IGF-1RK2P is trapped in a half-closed, previously unobserved conformation. Observed domain movements can be, dissected into two orthogonal rotational components. CONCLUSIONS:, Conformational changes upon kinase activation are triggered by the degree, of phosphorylation and are crucially dependent on the conformation of the, proximal end of the kinase activation loop. This IGF-1RK structure will, provide a molecular basis for the design of selective antioncogenic, therapeutic agents.
