Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To understand Th1 cell differentiation mechanism from naive T cell, we study the structural analysis of interleukin (IL) -27 complexed with two receptors WSX-1 and gp130. Preparation of these three proteins was carried out, and then IL-27 / WSX-1 complex was successfully purified. The crystallization trials were attempted using purified IL-27 / WSX-1 complex . And preparation trials of IL-27 / WSX-1 / gp130 complex were failed due to the weak binding ability of gp130 to IL-27 / WSX-1 complex. We are currently redesigning the gp130 construct to obtain crystal of IL-27 / WSX-1 / gp130 complex.
