Journal ArticleDOI

The GM–CSF/IL‐3/IL‐5 cytokine receptor family: from ligand recognition to initiation of signaling

TL;DR: Crystal structures of the GM–CSF receptor ternary complex and the IL‐5 binary complex have revealed new paradigms of cytokine receptor activation and provide opportunities for structure‐based approaches for the discovery of novel and disease‐specific therapeutics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Signalling by the βc family of cytokines.

TL;DR: Characterisation of the structural and dynamic requirements for the activation of the βc receptor family and the molecular definition of downstream signalling pathways are providing new insights into cytokine receptor signalling as well as new therapeutic opportunities.
Journal ArticleDOI

The βc receptor family – Structural insights and their functional implications

TL;DR: The crystal structures of the GM-CSF ternary complex, the IL-5 binary complex and the very recent IL-3 receptor alpha subunit build upon decades of structure-function studies, giving new insights into cytokine-receptor specificity and signal transduction.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dual Mechanism of Interleukin-3 Receptor Blockade by an Anti-Cancer Antibody

TL;DR: The crystal structure of the IL-3 receptor α chain in complex with the anti-leukemia antibody CSL362 is reported that reveals the N-terminal domain (NTD), a domain also present in the granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), IL-5, and IL-13 receptors, adopting unique "open" and classical "closed" conformations.
