Background: IFN-alpha/beta R2

IFN-alpha/beta R2, also known as IFNAR2, is a 100 kDa glycoprotein in the class II cytokine receptor family. These proteins form heterodimeric receptor complexes that transduce signals from the interferon, IL-10, and IL-28 families of cytokines (1, 2). Mature IFN-alpha / beta R2 consists of an extracellular domain (ECD), containing two fibronectin type III repeats, a transmembrane segment, and a cytoplasmic domain. Alternative splicing generates a secreted isoform that corresponds to the ECD as well as a 50 kDa transmembrane isoform with a substituted and truncated cytoplasmic region (3, 4). The short isoform is impaired in its ability to activate signaling molecules and functions as a dominant negative receptor subunit (5-7). The mature ECD of cynomolgus IFN-alpha/ beta R2 shares 93% and 100% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with that of human and rhesus, respectively. IFN-alpha/beta R2, in association with IFN-alpha/beta R1, is required for mediating the antiviral, antiproliferative, and apoptotic effects of the type I interferons IFN-alpha and IFN-beta. IFN-alpha / beta R2 is the principal ligand binding subunit of the receptor. Ligand binding is stabilized by the subsequent association with IFN-alpha / beta R1, resulting in the formation of a signaling ternary receptor complex (8, 9). IFN-alpha / beta R2 is also subject to presenilin-dependent intramembrane proteolysis, resulting in the liberation of nearly the entire ECD as well as the cytoplasmic domain which migrates to the nucleus and can inhibit gene transcription (10). High concentrations of soluble IFN-alpha / beta R2 bind and neutralize IFN-alpha and IFN-beta, while lower concentrations prolong the antiviral activity of circulating IFN-beta but not IFN-alpha (11). Human but not mouse IFN-alpha / beta R2 constitutively associates with STAT4, which may account for species specific differences observed in type I interferon responses (12).
