The tertiary structure of mouse epidermal growth factor (EGF) in solution (28 degrees C, pH 2.0) was studied by two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. Proton-proton distance constraints derived from NOESY spectra were used to construct a mechanical molecular model of mouse EGF, which was subsequently checked by means of a preliminary distance geometry calculation. The chain-folds in the two structural domains of mouse EGF were very similar to those previously reported (Montelione et al. (1987) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S. 84, 5226-5230). However, the relative orientations of the two domains were different. Because we could assign much more inter-domain NOEs, the relative orientations of the two domains were well determined in our model. The hollow between the two domains may function as a binding site for the EGF receptor.

D004815 Epidermal Growth Factor A 6-kDa polypeptide growth factor initially discovered in mouse submaxillary glands. Human epidermal growth factor was originally isolated from urine based on its ability to inhibit gastric secretion and called urogastrone. Epidermal growth factor exerts a wide variety of biological effects including the promotion of proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal and EPITHELIAL CELLS. It is synthesized as a transmembrane protein which can be cleaved to release a soluble active form.
