Abstract

Seven discrete families of cytokines have been identified by sequence and structural analysis. Within this diverse set of protein folds, the hematopoietic growth factors and tumor necrosis factor-like cytokines display a remarkable degree of variation upon their respective topological frameworks. In addition, prototype X-ray structures of ligand-receptor complexes reveal two different strategies of receptor engagement.
