Abstract

Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) isoforms have differential binding affinities for the TGF-beta type II receptor (TbetaRII). In most cells, TGF-beta1 and TGF-beta3 bind to TbetaRII with much higher affinity than TGF-beta2. Here, we report an analysis of the effect of TGF-beta structure on its binding to TbetaRII by using TGF-beta mutants with domain deletions, amino acid replacements, and isoform chimeras. Examination of the binding of TGF-beta mutants to the recombinant extracellular domain of TbetaRII by a solid-phase TGF-beta/TbetaRII assay demonstrated that only those TGF-beta mutants containing the C terminus of TGF-beta1 (TGF-beta1-(Delta69-73), TGF-beta1-(Trp71), and TGF-beta2/beta1-(83-112)) bind with high affinity to TbetaRII, similar to native TGF-beta1. Moreover, replacement of only 6 amino acids in the C terminus of TGF-beta1 with the corresponding sequence of TGF-beta2 (TGF-beta1/beta2-(91-96)) completely eliminated the high affinity binding of TGF-beta1. Proliferation of fetal bovine heart endothelial (FBHE) cells was inhibited to a similar degree by all of the TGF-beta mutants. However, recombinant soluble TbetaRII blocked the inhibition of FBHE cell proliferation induced by TGF-beta mutants retaining t...Continue Reading
