Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a homodimeric member
of the cystine knot family of growth factors, with limitedsequence
homology to platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) andtransforming
growth factor Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA

Vascular endothelial growth factor: Crystal structure and
functional mapping of the kinase domain receptor binding site
2 (TGF-
). We have determined itscrystal structure
at a resolution of 2.5 Å, and identified itskinase domain receptor
(KDR) binding site using mutational analysis.Overall, the VEGF monomer
resembles that of PDGF, but its N-terminalsegment is helical rather
than extended. The dimerization modeof VEGF is similar to that of PDGF
and very different from thatof TGF-
. Mutational analysis of
VEGF reveals that symmetricalbinding sites for KDR are located at each
pole of the VEGF homodimer.Each site contains two functional "hot
spots" composed of bindingdeterminants presented across the subunit
interface. The two mostimportant determinants are located within the
largest hot spoton a short, three-stranded sheet that is conserved in
PDGF andTGF-
. Functional analysis of the binding epitopes for two
receptor-blockingantibodies reveal different binding determinants near
each ofthe KDR binding hot spots.
