Popis: The N-terminal domain (NTD) of interleukin-3 receptor α-subunit (IL3Rα) is involved in IL-3 recognition but the underlying mechanism is unknown. Here, the authors present crystal structures of the IL3Rα complex and provide biochemical evidence that the NTD regulates IL-3 binding and signalling complex assembly.
