The B-chain homodimer isoform of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) binds with high affinity both to alpha- and to beta-receptors. In order to localize amino acid residues in PDGF-BB of differential importance for the binding to the two receptors, PDGF-BB mutants were analyzed in which single amino acid residues were changed to alanine residues. We found that Phe-118 in loop 1 of the PDGF B-chain is crucial for binding to both receptors, and that the surrounding amino acids, Asn-117 and Leu-119, appear to be important primarily for binding to the beta-receptor. In contrast, Lys-161 in loop 3 was found to be more important for binding to alpha-receptors than beta-receptors. Previous studies have shown that the receptor binding epitope of PDGF-BB is composed mainly of loops 1 and 3; the findings of the present study show that the alpha- and beta-receptors interact with different amino acid residues in these regions.
