IFN-gamma SC1 was derived by linking the two peptide chains of the IFN-gamma dimer by a seven-residue linker and changing His111 in the first chain to an aspartic acid residue. Isothermal titration calorimetry shows that IFN-gamma SC1 forms a 1:1 complex with its high-affinity receptor (IFN-gamma R alpha) with an affinity of 27(+/- 9) nM. The crystal structure of IFN-gamma SC1 has been determined at 2.9 A resolution from crystals grown in 1.4 M citrate solutions at pH 7.6. Comparison of the wild-type receptor-binding domain and the Asp111-containing domain of IFN-gamma SC1 show that they are structurally equivalent but have very different electrostatic surface potentials. As a result, surface charge rather than structural changes is likely responsible for the inability of the His111--\u003eAsp domain of to bind IFN-gamma R alpha. The AB loops of IFN-gamma SC1 adopt conformations similar to the ordered loops of IFN-gamma observed in the crystal structure of the IFN-gamma/IFN-gamma R alpha complex. Thus, IFN-gamma R alpha binding does not result in a large conformational change in the AB loop as previously suggested. The structure also reveals the final six C-terminal amino acid residues of IFN-gamma SC1 (residues 253-258) that have not been observed in any other reported IFN-gamma structures. Despite binding to only one IFN-gamma R alpha, IFN-gamma SC1 is biologically active in cell proliferation, MHC class I induction, and anti-viral assays. This suggests that one domain of IFN-gamma is sufficient to recruit IFN-gamma R alpha and IFN-gamma R beta into a complex competent for eliciting biological activity. The current data are consistent with the main role of the IFN-gamma dimer being to decrease the dissociation constant of IFN-gamma for its cellular receptors.","tracks":[{"project":"AIMed","denotations":[{"id":"T1","span":{"begin":94,"end":103},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T2","span":{"begin":128,"end":144},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T3","span":{"begin":146,"end":159},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T4","span":{"begin":176,"end":206},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T5","span":{"begin":208,"end":225},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T6","span":{"begin":264,"end":277},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T7","span":{"begin":331,"end":340},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T8","span":{"begin":485,"end":498},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T9","span":{"begin":552,"end":569},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T10","span":{"begin":630,"end":643},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T11","span":{"begin":830,"end":843},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T12","span":{"begin":1082,"end":1099},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T13","span":{"begin":1117,"end":1130},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T14","span":{"begin":1183,"end":1192},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T15","span":{"begin":1234,"end":1243},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T16","span":{"begin":1244,"end":1261},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T17","span":{"begin":1277,"end":1294},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T18","span":{"begin":1467,"end":1480},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T19","span":{"begin":1550,"end":1559},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T20","span":{"begin":1600,"end":1617},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T21","span":{"begin":1619,"end":1632},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T22","span":{"begin":1758,"end":1767},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T23","span":{"begin":1793,"end":1810},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T24","span":{"begin":1815,"end":1824},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T25","span":{"begin":1950,"end":1959},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T26","span":{"begin":2013,"end":2022},"obj":"protein"}],"attributes":[{"subj":"T1","pred":"source","obj":"AIMed"},{"subj":"T2","pred":"source","obj":"AIMed"},{"subj":"T3","pred":"source","obj":"AIMed"},{"subj":"T4","pred":"source","obj":"AIMed"},{"subj":"T5","pred":"source","obj":"AIMed"},{"subj":"T6","pred":"source","obj":"AIMed"},{"subj":"T7","pred":"source","obj":"AIMed"},{"subj":"T8","pred":"source","obj":"AIMed"},{"subj":"T9","pred":"source","obj":"AIMed"},{"subj":"T10","pred":"source","obj":"AIMed"},{"subj":"T11","pred":"source","obj":"AIMed"},{"subj":"T12","pred":"source","obj":"AIMed"},{"subj":"T13","pred":"source","obj":"AIMed"},{"subj":"T14","pred":"source","obj":"AIMed"},{"subj":"T15","pred":"source","obj":"AIMed"},{"subj":"T16","pred":"source","obj":"AIMed"},{"subj":"T17","pred":"source","obj":"AIMed"},{"subj":"T18","pred":"source","obj":"AIMed"},{"subj":"T19","pred":"source","obj":"AIMed"},{"subj":"T20","pred":"source","obj":"AIMed"},{"subj":"T21","pred":"source","obj":"AIMed"},{"subj":"T22","pred":"source","obj":"AIMed"},{"subj":"T23","pred":"source","obj":"AIMed"},{"subj":"T24","pred":"source","obj":"AIMed"},{"subj":"T25","pred":"source","obj":"AIMed"},{"subj":"T26","pred":"source","obj":"AIMed"}]},{"project":"FSU-PRGE","denotations":[{"id":"T1","span":{"begin":94,"end":103},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T2","span":{"begin":128,"end":144},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T3","span":{"begin":146,"end":155},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T4","span":{"begin":176,"end":200},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T5","span":{"begin":208,"end":225},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T6","span":{"begin":264,"end":273},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T7","span":{"begin":331,"end":340},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T8","span":{"begin":485,"end":494},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T9","span":{"begin":552,"end":569},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T10","span":{"begin":630,"end":639},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T11","span":{"begin":830,"end":839},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T12","span":{"begin":1082,"end":1099},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T13","span":{"begin":1117,"end":1126},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T14","span":{"begin":1183,"end":1192},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T15","span":{"begin":1234,"end":1243},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T16","span":{"begin":1244,"end":1261},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T17","span":{"begin":1277,"end":1294},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T18","span":{"begin":1467,"end":1476},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T19","span":{"begin":1550,"end":1559},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T20","span":{"begin":1600,"end":1617},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T21","span":{"begin":1619,"end":1628},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T22","span":{"begin":1679,"end":1690},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T23","span":{"begin":1758,"end":1767},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T24","span":{"begin":1793,"end":1810},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T25","span":{"begin":1815,"end":1831},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T26","span":{"begin":1950,"end":1959},"obj":"protein"},{"id":"T27","span":{"begin":2013,"end":2022},"obj":"protein"}],"attributes":[{"subj":"T1","pred":"source","obj":"FSU-PRGE"},{"subj":"T2","pred":"source","obj":"FSU-PRGE"},{"subj":"T3","pred":"source","obj":"FSU-PRGE"},{"subj":"T4","pred":"source","obj":"FSU-PRGE"},{"subj":"T5","pred":"source","obj":"FSU-PRGE"},{"subj":"T6","pred":"source","obj":"FSU-PRGE"},{"subj":"T7","pred":"source","obj":"FSU-PRGE"},{"subj":"T8","pred":"source","obj":"FSU-PRGE"},{"subj":"T9","pred":"source","obj":"FSU-PRGE"},{"subj":"T10","pred":"source","obj":"FSU-PRGE"},{"subj":"T11","pred":
