SOLUTION NMR STRUCTURE OF STROMAL CELL-DERIVED FACTOR-1 (SDF-1), 30 STRUCTURES
OverviewOverview
The three-dimensional structure of stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1), was determined by NMR spectroscopy. SDF-1 is a monomer with a disordered, N-terminal region (residues 1-8), and differs from other chemokines in the, packing of the hydrophobic core and surface charge distribution. Results, with analogs showed that the N-terminal eight residues formed an important, receptor binding site; however, only Lys-1 and Pro-2 were directly, involved in receptor activation. Modification to Lys-1 and/or Pro-2, resulted in loss of activity, but generated potent SDF-1 antagonists., Residues 12-17 of the loop region, which we term the RFFESH motif, unlike, the N-terminal region, were well defined in the SDF-1 structure. The, RFFESH formed a receptor binding site, which we propose to be an important, initial docking site of SDF-1 with its receptor. The ability of the SDF-1, analogs to block HIV-1 entry via CXCR4, which is a HIV-1 coreceptor for, the virus in addition to being the receptor for SDF-1, correlated with, their affinity for CXCR4. Activation of the receptor is not required for, HIV-1 inhibition.
