Two components of a receptor complex for IL-13, the IL-4R and a low
affinity IL-13-binding chain, IL-13R
1, have been cloned in mice and
humans. An additional high affinity binding chain for IL-13,
IL-13R
2, has been described in humans. We isolated a cDNA from the
thymus that encodes the murine orthologue of the human IL-13R
2. The
predicted protein sequence of murine IL-13R
2 (mIL-13R
2)
has 59% overall identity to human IL-13R
2 and is closely related to
the murine low affinity IL-13-binding subunit, IL-13R
1. The genes
for both mIL-13-binding chains map to the X chromosome. A specific
interaction between mIL-13R
2.Fc protein and IL-13 was demonstrated
by surface plasmon resonance using a BIACORE instrument. Ba/F3
cells that were transfected with mIL-13R
2 expressed 5000 molecules
per cell and bound IL-13 with a single Kd of
0.5 to 1.2 nM. However, these cells did not proliferate in response to
IL-13, and the IL-4 dose response was unaffected by high concentrations
of IL-13. In contrast, the expression of mIL-13R
1 by Ba/F3 cells
resulted in a sensitive proliferative response to IL-13. Consistent
with its lower affinity for IL-13, IL-13R
1.Fc was 100-fold less
effective than IL-13R
2.Fc in neutralizing IL-13 in vitro. These
results show that mIL-13R
2 and mIL-13R
1 are not functionally
equivalent and predict distinct roles for each polypeptide in IL-13R
complex formation and in the modulation of IL-13 signal
transduction.
