A cDNA encoding a human IL-12R subunit was isolated by expression cloning. This subunit is a 662 amino acid type I transmembrane protein with an extracellular domain of 516 amino acids and a cytoplasmic domain of 91 amino acids. It is a member of the hemopoietin receptor superfamily and is most closely related over its entire length to gp130 and the receptors for granulocyte-CSF (G-CSF) and leukemia-inhibitory factor. When expressed in COS cells, this IL-12R subunit binds both human and murine IL-12 with an apparent affinity of 2 to 5 nM. The transfected COS cells express both monomers and disulfide-linked dimers or oligomers of the IL-12R subunit on their surface. However, unlike the IL-6-induced dimerization of gp130, the oligomerization of the IL- 12R subunit is not dependent on binding of IL-12. Only the IL-12R subunit dimers/oligomers but not the monomers bind IL-12 with an affinity of 2 to 5 nM. A polyclonal antiserum raised against this receptor subunit specifically inhibits IL-12-induced proliferation of PHA-activated PBMC. The data are consistent with the hypotheses that 1) a dimer/oligomer of the cloned IL-12R subunit (IL-12R-beta) represents the low affinity IL-12 binding site identified on human lymphoblasts, 2) the cloned receptor subunit is involved in IL-12 signal transduction, and 3) an additional, as of yet unidentified subunit is required to generate a high affinity IL-12R complex.
