Background
IL-2
receptor alpha (IL-2R alpha), also known as CD25, is a 55 kDa type I membrane
glycoprotein that belongs to the family of cytokine receptors that utilize the
common gamma chain subunit (gamma c). Human IL-2R alpha cDNA
encodes a 213 amino acid (aa) precursor with a 21 aa signal peptide and a 192 aa
extracellular region. The ECD of Human IL-2R alpha shares a 59% amino acid sequence
identity with the ECD of mouse and rat IL-2R alpha, respectively. IL‑2R alpha is primarily expressed on activated T
cells and on regulatory T cells (Treg) (1-3).
IL-2R beta (CD122) and gamma c (IL-2R gamma /CD132) dimerize to form a constitutively expressed intermediate
affinity IL-2 receptor (4, 5). By itself, IL-2R alpha binds IL-2 with low
affinity. IL-2R alpha makes no contacts with IL-2R beta or gamma c,
and only minor changes are observed in the IL-2 structure in response to
receptor binding. These findings support the principal role of IL-2R alpha to
deliver IL-2 to the signaling complex and act as regulator of signal
transduction (6, 7). A
soluble form of IL‑2R alpha can be generated by proteolytic
cleavage of the cell surface receptor, rendering the T cell unresponsive to
IL-2 (8, 9). Increased serum levels of soluble IL‑2R alpha are found in some cancers and immune
disorders (10). IL-2R alpha is required for activation induced cell death
(AICD) of naive T cells, a mechanism responsible for deleting autoreactive T cell clones (11, 12). IL-2R alpha is also required for the development of
CD4+CD25+ Treg which suppresses autoreactive CD4+ T cells, thereby contributing
to peripheral T cell homeostasis (11-13).
