Protein Structures

check button PDB and CIF files of the predicted protein structures
* Here we show the 3D structure of the proteins using Mol*. AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Model confidence is shown from the pLDDT values per residue. pLDDT corresponds to the model’s prediction of its score on the local Distance Difference Test. It is a measure of local accuracy (from AlphfaFold website). To color code individual residues, we transformed individual PDB files into CIF format.

IL23R16372191Identification and expression analysis of alternatively spliced isoforms of human interleukin-23 receptor gene in normal lymphoid cells and selected tumor cells.Interleukin 23 (IL-23) is a new member of the IL-12 family that plays a critical role in promoting the proliferation of memory T helper 1 cells. The heterodimerized IL-23 receptor is composed of a shared IL-12 receptor beta 1 (IL-12Rbeta1) and an IL-12Rbeta2-related molecule called IL-23R. The standard form of IL-23R is encoded by at least 12 exons. Here, we demonstrate that at least six spliced isoforms of IL-23R (IL-23R1 to 6) can be generated through alternative splicing. The splicing strategies for the IL-23R gene are complicated and most often result in the deletion of exon 7 and/or exon 10. Translation prediction revealed that these spliced variants result in either premature termination to give rise to a diverse form of receptor ectodomain, or a frameshift to generate various lengths of the IL-23R endodomain. Differential expressions of IL-23R spliced variants are observed in natural killer and CD3+ CD4+ T cells. The expressions of these spliced variants are also prevalently and complicatedly regulated in tumor cell lines. Interestingly, only IL-23R2 and/or IL-23R4 variants are predominantly detected in certain human lung carcinomas, but not in their resected normal margin tissues. Thus, our results indicate that the regulation of alternative splicing on the IL-23R gene is complicated, and the preferential expression of certain IL-23R spliced variants may be a contributive factor to the pathogenesis of certain cancers.D008175Lung Neoplasms

IL23R18754016Identification and characterization of multiple splice forms of the human interleukin-23 receptor alpha chain in mitogen-activated leukocytes.The signalling of interleukin-23 (IL-23) and its receptor (IL-23R) is a key element in the differentiation of T cells to the Th17 phenotype. Here, we present the identification and characterization of human IL23R splice variants resulting from alternative splicing of the IL23R mRNA, from activated human leukocytes, following the analysis of IL23R cDNA. Twenty-four different IL23R transcripts were observed in this study, which may potentially lead to an alteration in the protein coding region of IL-23R alpha. Consequently, by analysing amino acid sequences deduced from alternatively spliced mRNA sequences, four different putative premature early termination forms of IL-23R alpha: (1) a very short 'IL-23R alpha', (2) an IL-23R alpha containing only the extracellular region, (3) a IL-23R alpha with truncated intracellular domain and (4) in-frame exon-skipping causing changes to the extracellular region of the IL-23R alpha were revealed. These changes may affect the function of IL-23R by altering the ligand-binding interaction, producing a soluble form of the receptor to act as a decoy receptor and/or modify the IL-23/IL-23R signalling, respectively. Taken together, identification of potentially functional splice variants of IL23R underscores the biological diversity of the IL23R gene and will aid in the understanding of the gene's function in normal and pathological conditions.D003424Crohn Disease
