PG - 1351-6 LID - 10.1107/S2053230X14016926 [doi] AB - Interleukin-18 (IL-18), a pro-inflammatory cytokine belonging to the interleukin-1 (IL-1) family, is involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune/autoinflammatory and allergic diseases such as juvenile idiopathic arthritis and bronchial asthma. IL-18 forms a signalling complex with the IL-18 receptor alpha (IL-18Ralpha) and beta (IL-18Rbeta) chains; however, the detailed activation mechanism remains unclear. Here, the IL-18-IL-18Ralpha binary and IL-18-IL-18Ralpha-IL-18Rbeta ternary complexes were purified and crystallized as well as IL-18 alone. An X-ray diffraction data set for IL-18 was collected to 2.33 A resolution from a crystal belonging to space group P21, with unit-cell parameters a = 68.15, b = 79.51, c = 73.46 A, beta = 100.97 degrees . Crystals of both the IL-18 binary and ternary complexes belonging to the orthorhombic space groups P21212 and P212121, respectively, diffracted to 3.10 A resolution. Unit-cell parameters were determined as a = 135.49, b = 174.81, c = 183.40 A for the binary complex and a = 72.56, b = 111.56, c = 134.57 A for the ternary complex.
