1 INVESTIGATION INTO THE MOLECULAR SPECIFICITY OF THE IGFs: A CHIMERIC APPROACH By Adam Denley, BBiotecb (Hons.) A Thesis submitted to the University of Adelaide, South Australia in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy THE UNIVERSITY OF ADELAIDE AUSTRALIA School of Molecular and Biomedical Science The University of Adelaide Adelaide, South Australia.

2 ABSTRACT Insulin-like growth factors (lof)-1 and -II induce a variety of cellular outcomes including cell proliferation, diffentiation, cell migration and protection from apoptosis. IOF-I an IOF-II share a high degree of structural similarity reflecting their high level of sequence similarty. Despite this both IOP-l and IOF-II exhibit different binding affinities to almost all proteins with which they both interact. To date few studies have investigated the structural basis whereby IOP-l and lop-ii bind with different affmities to the type-j IOF receptor (lof-ir), insulin receptor (IR) isoforms, type-2 lop receptor (IOP-2R) and IOF binding proteins (lopbps). The major objective of this thesis is to investigate the molecular basis for the unique rector and binding protein binding properties of IOF-I and lof-ii To address the question of what parts ofiof-1 and IOF-II confer their unique receptor and binding protein binding affnities, chimeras of IOF-I and IOF-II were enginee where their C and D domains were exchanged either singly or together. " These are the first ever whole domain chimeras of IOP-I and IOF-II. Rectly the altertively spliced isoform of the insulin receptor lacking 12 amino acids encoded by exon 11 (IR-A) has been shown to be overexpressed in foetal and cancer tissues and bind lop-ii but not IOF-l with high affnity. Binding analysis of the engineered chimeras to the lr-a showed that the C and D domains of IOF-I1 allow high affnity binding whereas the same domains of IOF-l preclude high affinity binding to the IR-A. The C and D domains also regulate the differential interaction of IOF-l and IOF-I1 with the insulin receptor isoform contag the amino acds encoded by exon 11 (IR-B). The C domain of IOF-II, in the background of IOF-II or IOF-I, also allows potent induction of phosphorylation of various tyrosine residues in the intracellular 13
3 subunits of the lr-a and lr-b, whereas the same domain of lgf-i in the background of lgf-ii did not. In addition this same domain also is the molecular basis for the differential ability of IGF-II and IGF-I to phosphorylate IRS- l and activate PKBI Akt. Furthennore, the differential ability of IGF-II and lgf-l to induce cell survival and promote cell migration via the IR-A is due to their C domains. The lgf-ir binds lgf-i with a 3-5 fold higher affnity than IGF-II. Here in this thesis the differential affinity of lgf-i and IGF-II for the lgf-1 R is shown to be in a large part due to their C and D domains. The lgf-2r is a receptor that does not contain any intrinsic signaling activity and in the context of the IGF system appears to regulate the concentration of IGF-II. lgf-2r binds lgf-ii with high affnity but binds lgf-i with very low affity. Reported here is the novel identification of the IGF-II C domain as an important contributor for wildtype IGF-2R binding. lgfbps act to both potentiate and inhibit the cellular actions of the lgfs. Almost all lgfbps bind lgf-i and lgf-ii with different affinities, particularly IGFBP-6 which has a fold higher affinity for lgf-ii compared to lgf-i. Binding analysis of IGF chimeras to IGFBP-l, -2, -3 revealed that the C and D domains of the IGFs do not regulate any IGFBP affnity difference,, however the IGF-II C domain may play a small role in binding to IGFBP-6. Recently a patient exhibiting mental retardation, short stature and gondal dysfunction was shown to be homozygous for a mutation in his IGF-l gene resulting in a protein with a methionine instead of a valine at position 44. Here in this thesis the biochemical characterization of this mutant is reported. This mutation causes almost a 90-fold reduction in IGF-IR binding affnity, while completely abrogating binding to either lr isoform. Interestingly binding to IGFBP-2, 3 and -{ is unaffected. In addition, NMR analysis showed only small perturbations in the structure localized around the site of the mutation.
4 In conclusion this thesis has contributed to the understanding of ligand receptor interactions of the insulinllgf system.
