pubmed:abstractText
A recombinant form of human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) which contains no carbohydrate has been crystallized. Multiple isomorphous replacement analysis using five heavy-atom derivatives has yielded an image of the structure at 6 A resolution that showed two molecules per asymmetric unit and allowed determination of the non-crystallographic symmetry transformation. The 6 A resolution result shows that the core of GM-CSF consists of four helices. The angles at which the helices pack together distinguishes this structure from known antiparallel four-helix bundle proteins. Consideration of the amino acid sequence properties and previous structural characterizations of GM-CSF leads to an assignment of the probable protein segments that form the helices.
