Abstract
Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) shares structural and functional properties with members of the hematopoietic cytokine family. It is composed of a four-helix bundle structure and shares the transmembrane signal transducing proteins, glycoprotein-130 (gp130) and leukemia inhibitory factor receptor (LIF-R). Structure-function analysis showed that the gp130-interactive proteins bind in a similar manner to that of growth hormone (sites I and II). In addition, gp130-interactive proteins and granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) utilize another binding site (site III) at the boundary between CD loop and helix D. CNTF triggers the association of receptor components, resulting in activation of a signal transduction cascade mediated by specific intracellular protein tyrosine kinases. The Janus kinase (JAK)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) and Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways have been characterized in terms of gp130-interactive protein, and there should be other pathways and some crosstalk between them to enhance, prolong, or specify the signals.
