In each panel, the concave face of the FSHRHB structure is shown as an unrolled sheet. Residues are identified by the single letter code on filled circles for side chains that point toward the hydrophobic core of the structure and by open circles for those that are solvent exposed. a, Residues of FSHRHB involved in direct contact with the hormone are colored according to sequence variation among the three human glycoprotein hormone receptors (FSHR, LHR and TSHR). Green indicates that the residue is identical in all three receptors, pink corresponds to one difference and red means the residues in the three receptors are all different. b, Residues of FSHRHB involved in direct contact with the hormone are colored according to sequence variation at their interaction partners in the hormone. Green indicates that the FSHRHB residue contacts the common α-chain and/or residues of FSHβ that are conserved among all human glycoprotein hormone β-chains (FSHβ, CGβ/LHβ and TSHβ). Cyan represents one sequence difference found at the contacted β-chain residues. Blue indicates that the β-chain residues contacted by FSHRHB are different in all human glycoprotein hormones. Red stars in both panels mark the residues of FSHRHB where sequence variations in the partners account for specificity in the interaction (see text).

8 Supplementary Methods Protein expression and purification Human FSHR and FSH were coexpressed using the baculovirus system. The cdna for FSHR and FSH α- and β-chains were modified by PCR and inserted into the same pfastbac Dual plasmid (Invitrogen). The construct encodes a covalently linked FSH αβ heterodimer under the control of the polyhedrin promoter and a truncated ectodomain of FSHR under the control of the p10 promoter. The covalently linked FSH comprises the signal peptide and entire mature protein of FSH β (residues 1-111), followed by a 15- residue linker (GGGSGGGSGGGSGGG) and the mature protein sequence of FSH α (residues 1-92). Secretion of the FSHR ectodomain was facilitated by its native signal sequence. A FLAG tag (DYKDDDDK) was engineered at the C-terminus of FSHR for affinity purification. Constructs with different C-terminal truncations of the FSHR ectodomain were tested for expression and proper folding. All expressed poorly with a majority of the secreted protein forming large soluble aggregates. The most stable FSHR construct contains residues (FSHR HB ) where residues 1-17 correspond to its putative signal peptide. N-terminal sequencing analysis of the secreted FSHR HB indicates that signal peptide cleavage from the mature protein occurs at one of two sites, Gly17 or Cys18. Hi5 cells were grown in monolayer or suspension culture to 2.0x10 6 cells/ml, which were then infected at a 10-fold multiplicity of infection with recombinant baculovirus carrying the FSHR HB and FSH genes. The cell culture supernatant was harvested 72 hours after infection and applied to an anti-flag antibody (M2) affinity column. FSH-FSHR HB complex bound to the M2 column and was eluted with 100 µg/ml FLAG peptide in 50 mm Tris, ph7.5, 150 mm NaCl. The protein complex was further purified by size exclusion chromatography (Superdex200, Pharmacia) in 20 mm Tris, ph8.0, 150 mm NaCl to remove aggregates. The yield of properly folded FSH-FSHR HB protein was about 0.1 mg per liter of insect cell culture. Partial deglycosylation of the FSH-FSHR HB complex using a combination of endoglycosidase F2 and F3 was carried out at 20ºC for 5 days in 50 mm sodium acetate, ph4.5. FSH-FSHR HB protein was separated from the deglycosylation enzymes by ion exchange chromatography (MonoQ, Pharmacia) in 20 mm Tris, ph8.0 using a linear salt gradient from 0 to 500 mm NaCl. Crystallization and data collection Crystals of fully glycosylated FSH-FSHR HB complex were grown at 4ºC from 18% tertbutanol, 100 mm Na Citrate, ph6.0. Diffraction data were measured at National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) beamline X4A from crystals frozen directly from the vapor-diffusion drop. These crystals have the space group R32 (a = Å, α = 80.3 ) with an estimated 5-10 complexes per asymmetric unit and diffract only to 9 Å spacings. Crystals of the partially deglycosylated FSH-FSHR HB complex were grown at 20ºC by vapor diffusion method. The crystallization drops contained 0.5 µl of 10% PEG3350, 0.1 M Li 2 SO 4 as the precipitant and 0.5 µl of the protein complex at 9.8 mg/ml in 20 mm Tris, ph8.0. Plate crystals with a thickness of only 5-10 µm grew as clusters; single crystals were broken off the clusters for data collection. 1

9 The crystals were soaked briefly in a cryoprotecting solution containing 10% PEG3350, 0.1 M Li 2 SO 4, 25% ethylene glycol, and flash-cooled with liquid nitrogen. Native data were collected to 2.9 Å spacings at SGX-CAT beamline of the Advanced Photon Source (APS). These crystals belong to the space group C2 (a=121.3 Å, b=66.9 Å, c=148.6 Å, and β=99.1º), and have two FSH-FSHR HB complexes per asymmetric unit. Data were integrated and scaled using Denzo and Scalepack 1. Most of the subsequent processing used CCP4 programs 2. Structure determination and refinement The structure of FSH-FSHR HB complex was solved by molecular replacement 3. The presence of a two-fold non-crystallographic symmetry (NCS) axis was identified by analysis of the self-rotation function, and the known structure of FSH 4 (PDB code: 1FL7) was used as the search model in Amore 3. One FSH molecule was readily located as the top rotation and translation solution, and the second FSH was found by fixing the position of the first hormone molecule. The final two-fsh solution had a correlation coefficient of 28.1% and R-value of 54.3% for data from 20 to 4 Å. After rigid body refinement of each hormone molecule in CNS 5 with all data ( Å), this model (R free =52.1%; R work =53.1%) was used to obtain partial phases, which were improved by two-fold NCS-averaging, histogram matching and solvent flattening in DM 2. The resulting electron density map gave additional density for the bound receptor. Furthermore, it clearly revealed a β-sheet in the receptor region which is characteristic of the LRR motif predicted for FSHR ectodomain 6. A model of the FSH-FSHR HB complex structure was gradually constructed as the density was improved through manual building and rebuilding in O 7 followed by refinement. Refinement was carried out using CNS 5 initially and at the final stages using REFMAC 2 with TLS refinement 8. All data ( F >0) were included, with 5% of randomly selected reflections used for R free monitoring. Tight non-crystallographic symmetry restraints were gradually relaxed during the refinement process. The optimal NCSrestraints were determined by systematically monitoring the variation of R free as a function of the restraint weights in REFMAC (data shown elsewhere). The model was refined to a final R free of 25.9 % and R work of 21.9 %. Continuous electron density was observed for carbohydrate moieties at one N- linked glycosylation site on each receptor molecule (a disaccharide at N191 of FSHR HB and a trisaccharide at it symmetry mate N191 ), all four sites on one of the hormone molecules (monosaccharides at αn52, αn78, βn7 and βn24), and two sites on the other hormone (monosaccharides at αn78 and βn24 ). Broken density was observed for glycosylation at αn52 and βn7, but no carbohydrate residues were modeled. The final model contained two FSH molecules (α3-92 and α6-92 ; β3-107 and β3-107 ), two FSHR HB molecules (residues and ), 10 N- acetylglucosamine and 1 mannose residue, 50 water molecules and 3 sulfate ions. A Ramachandran analysis ( places 92.1% of all residues in favored regions and 0.9% in outlier regions. Residues of the FLAG-tag peptide and the linker between FSH β- and α-chains were not visible in the electron density maps, possibly due to disordering. The linker peptide used to stabilize the FSH αβ heterodimer does not appear to affect the mode of association between FSH α- and β-subunits or the receptor binding 2

10 mode of FSH. First of all, the entire linker together with four C-terminal residues of FSHβ and two N-terminal residues of FSHα (five in the second protomer) are disordered, indicating that they are highly flexible. In addition, a covalent linker connecting the C- terminus of FSHβ and N-terminus of FSHα would span a region on the FSH surface opposite to the receptor-binding site, and therefore would not hinder receptor binding. Chemical crosslinking The FSH-FSHR HB complex was dialyzed extensively against 20 mm HEPES, ph8.0, 150 mm NaCl, and then reacted with glutaraldehyde at 20 C to completion (overnight) at increasing concentrations of FSH-FSHR HB (30, 60, 120, 180, 240, 300 and 360 µm) and constant molar ratios of protein to glutaraldehyde (3:1, 3:2 or 1:1). The low glutaraldehyde concentration was chosen to prevent adventitious crosslinking at higher concentrations of FSH-FSHR HB. Equivalent amounts of crosslinked protein (2 µg) were loaded on 8-25% native gels or under non-reducing conditions on SDS gels. Because glycosylated versions of single-chain FSH and FSHR HB had similar apparent molecular weight, the dimer band on SDS gels could result from the crosslinking of two receptor molecules located at the dimer interface or from the 1:1 receptor-hormone complex. A novel band on native gels, which contained both FSH and FSHR HB by N-terminal sequencing, represented a true dimer of the complex and was therefore chosen for quantification. Gels were stained by Coomassie blue, and quantified with a densitometer. Crosslinking was not observed for BSA under the same conditions. Given the abundance of lysine residues present in FSH-FSHR HB (30 lysines per FSH-FSHR HB complex, including 2 from the FLAG tag) and the low glutaraldehyde concentration, the amount of crosslinked species is a subpopulation of the total amount of dimer in solution at equilibrium, but it is proportional to the dimer fraction. Based on a monomer-dimer equilibrium model of A+A A 2, the fraction of dimers at a specific total protein concentration (C T ) is given by ( 1+ 8CT K d 1) y = ( 1+ 8CT K d + 1) where K d is the dissociation constant. The dimer band density (D) is proportional to the dimer fraction, D=S y, where S is a scaling factor. A least-squares fitting of the D(C T ) data give estimates of S and K d. Analytical ultracentrifugation Sedimentation equilibrium experiments were carried out in a Beckman/Coulter XL-I analytical centrifuge using absorbance optics at 280 nm. Purified fully glycosylated FSH- FSHR HB complex was dialyzed extensively against a buffer containing 20 mm HEPES, ph 8.0, 150 mm NaCl and loaded into a six-channel equilibrium cell at 0.33, 0.66 and 1.05 mg/ml. Samples were centrifuged at 7,000, 9,000 and 12,000 r.p.m. in an An50Ti rotor at 4 C. Equilibrium was reached when no further change was observed in protein distribution spectra acquired at 1-h intervals. Data were analyzed with the WinNONLIN fitting program 9 ( Because the exact molecular mass of the FSH-FSHR HB complex was not known due to heavy glycosylation, the monomer molecular mass was allowed to float as a variable in the fitting to a monomer-dimer equilibrium model. The data clearly demonstrated the 3

11 presence of a thermodynamic monomer-dimer equilibrium because the dimer dissociation constant obtained separately from the three different concentrations and speeds converged within their 95% confidence intervals. The molecular mass of the FSH- FSHR HB complex was determined to be 78 kd, 32% of which corresponded to carbohydrates. Dynamic light scattering Hydrodynamic radii of FSH-FSHR HB at various concentrations were obtained from lightscattering measurements using a DynaPro Molecular Sizing Instrument (Protein Solutions, Inc). BSA control showed less than 5% variation over the same concentration range. Illustration Figures were generated using Ribbons 10, Grasp 11, Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. References 1.
