Abstract excerpt
The common gamma chain (gammac), a subunit of the interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-9, and IL-15 receptors, contributes to both cytokine binding and subsequent signal transduction. Using a model-based site-directed mutagenesis strategy, we have identified residues of the mouse gammac extracellular domain that are required for normal gammac-dependent enhancement of IL-2 and IL-7 binding. One of these sites,...
