  The cytokine TGF-β modulates a number of cellular activities and plays a critical role in development, hemostasis and physiology, as well as in diseases including cancer and fibrosis. TGF-β signals through two transmembrane serine/threonine kinase receptors: TGFβR1 and TGFβR2. Multiple structures of the TGFβR1 kinase domain are known, but the structure of TGFβR2 remains unreported. Wild-type TGFβR2 kinase domain was refractory to crystallization, leading to the design of two mutated constructs: firstly, a TGFβR1 chimeric protein with seven ATP-site residues mutated to their counterparts in TGFβR2, and secondly, a reduction of surface entropy through mutation of six charged residues on the surface of the TGFβR2 kinase domain to alanines. These yielded apo and inhibitor-bound crystals that diffracted to high resolution (<2 Å). Comparison of these structures with those of TGFβR1 reveal shared ligand contacts as well as differences in the ATP-binding sites, suggesting strategies for the design of pan and selective TGFβR inhibitors.
