Interleukin-4 and IL-10 bind covalently to activated human alpha2-macroglobulin by a mechanism that requires Cys949.

Garber TR, Gonias SL, Webb DJ

Alpha2-macroglobulin (alpha2M) functions as an extracellular carrier of diverse cytokines, including transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1), that expresses anti-inflammatory activities. The results presented here demonstrate that interleukin-10 (IL-10) and IL-4, which also regulate the inflammatory response, bind to alpha2M. Unlike TGF-beta, IL-4 and IL-10 bind almost exclusively to the receptor-recognized, or activated, form of alpha2M. Purified IL-4-alpha2M complexes were predominantly covalent ... [more]
