Biol. Chem. May (1993); 268(13):9246-54 Binding of mutants of human insulin-like growth factor II to insulin-like growth factor binding proteins 1-6. Bach LA, Hsieh S, Sakano K, Fujiwara H, Perdue JF, Rechler MM Growth and Development Section, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20892. Abstract: A family of six specific insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) modulates the biological actions of the insulin-like growth factors, IGF-I and IGF-II. In the present study, we determined the binding affinity of purified human IGFBPs 1-6 for recombinant human IGF-II mutants whose binding to IGF-I, IGF-II/mannose 6-phosphate, and insulin receptors was previously reported (Sakano, K., Enjoh, T., Numata, F., Fujiwara, H., Marumoto, Y., Higashihashi, N., Sato, Y., Perdue, J. F., and Fujita-Yamaguchi, Y. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 20626-20635). Of the regions studied, the most important determinants of IGF-II binding to the IGFBPs were A-domain residues 48-50 and B-domain residue 26. Substitution of residues 48-50 with the analogous residues from human insulin (Thr-Ser-Ile) reduced binding to IGFBP-1, -5, and -6 more than 50-fold and to IGFBP-4 by 15-50-fold; binding to IGFBP-2 and -3 was reduced 6-12-fold. The same substitution markedly reduced binding to the IGF-II/mannose 6-phosphate receptor but not to IGF-I or insulin receptors. Although substitution of residues 54 and 55 with the analogous residues from IGF-I (Arg-Arg) abolished binding to the IGF-II/mannose 6-phosphate receptor, binding to IGFBPs was not substantially affected. Substitution of Phe26 with Ser or Leu, which decreased binding to the IGF-I and insulin receptors, reduced binding to IGFBP-1 and -6 up to 80-fold, but had lesser effects on the other IGFBPs. [Leu27]IGF-II and [Leu43]IGF-II, which had a more markedly reduced affinity for the IGF-I and insulin receptors than did [Ser26]IGF-II, were bound by the IGFBPs with relatively unchanged affinity compared with IGF-II. Thus, the determinants of IGF-II binding to IGFBPs partially overlap those for the IGF-II/mannose 6-phosphate receptor and overlap those for the IGF-I receptor to a lesser extent. IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-6 are most sensitive to changes in IGF-II structure, although IGFBP-1 binds IGF-I and IGF-II with equal affinity, whereas IGFBP-6 has a marked preferential binding affinity for IGF-II. IGF-II mutants with selective impairment in recognition by specific IGFBPs or receptors will provide a useful tool for dissecting the role of the different IGF binding macromolecules in the mediation of IGF-II actions.
