Identification of a Leu-Ile internalization motif within the cytoplasmic domain of the leukaemia inhibitory factor receptor

Abstract: Leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF) signals via a heterodimeric receptor complex comprised of the LIF receptor (LIFR) and the interleukin (IL)-6 signal transducer gp130. Upon binding to its cognate receptor LIF is internalized. In this study, we show that the LIFR is endocytosed independently of gp130. By using a heterochimaeric receptor system we identified a dileucine-based internalization motif within the cytoplasmic domain of the LIFR. Our findings suggest that a heterodimeric LIFR/gp130 complex and homodime… Show more

“…Two of these sequences, lifr.a and lifr.b, are grouped with LIFR on the basis of phylogenic analysis of the CHD. One, lifr.a, showed extensive conservation of intracellular homology motifs with LIFR, including Box 1, Box 2, Box 3, multiple Stat3 binding sites and a C-terminal GSPXIXSXQFLIP internalization motif, absent in drlifr.b and OSMR [18] (Figure 5b). Although the intracellular region of drosmr was unable to be determined, the extracellular region showed strong sequence and synteny conservation with OSMR (Additional file 3).…”

“…Dileucine motifs in a number of cell surface proteins have been reported to mediate their internalization and sorting in the trans-Golgi apparatus as well as trafficking to the lysosome [24], [26]. Leucine-based internalization motifs have been identified in the mannose 6-phosphate/Insulin –like growth factor receptor, insulin receptor, CD3γ chain, epidermal growth factor receptor, leukemia inhibitory factor receptor, and gp130 subunit of the IL-6 receptor complex [7], [9], [20], [23], [25], [26], [34], [35]. In the gp130 subunit, substitution of the leucine residues in the dileucine STQPLL motif with alanines was shown to dramatically alter trafficking of the IL-6 receptor complex with a near complete loss in the capacity to internalize the receptor complex [20].…”

“…For instance, the β chain of the IL‐2R is efficiently internalized (Hémar et al ., 1994; Subtil et al ., 1997; Lamaze et al ., 2001). Similarly, in the absence of signaling, efficient internalization of gp130 and LIF‐R occurs (Thiel et al ., 1998, 1999). The IFN‐γ R2 appears to recycle between intracellular stores and the cell surface in T lymphocytes (Rigamonti et al ., 2000).…”
