Stromal cell-derived FGF-7 binds and activates only the resident FGFR2IIIb in epithelial cellswhile FGF-1 and FGF-2 exhibit a broader interaction with multiple isoforms of FGFR. Here we reportthe structure of FGF-7 that has been solved to 3.1 Å resolution by molecular replacement with the structureof a dual function chimera of FGF-7 and FGF-1 (FGF-7/1) which was resolved to 2.3 Å. Comparison ofthe FGF-7 structure to that of FGF-1 and FGF-2 revealed the strongly conserved C backbone among thethree FGF polypeptides and the surface hydrophobic patch that forms the primary receptor-binding domain.In contrast, a decrease and dispersion of the positive surface charge density characterized the heparin-binding domain of FGF-7 defined by homology to that of FGF-1 and FGF-2 in complexes with heparin.A simple heparin hexasaccharide that cocrystallized with FGF-1 and FGF-2 and protected both againstprotease in solution failed to exhibit the same properties with FGF-7. In contrast to FGF-1 and FGF-2,protection of FGF-7 was enhanced by heparin oligosaccharides of increased length with those exhibitinga 3-O-sulfate being the most effective. Protection of FGF-7 required interaction with specifically thefraction of crude heparin retained on antithrombin affinity columns. Conversely, heparin enriched byaffinity for immobilized FGF-7 exhibited anti-factor Xa activity similar to that purified on an antithrombinaffinity matrix. In contrast, an FGF-1 affinity matrix enriched the fraction of crude heparin with lowanti-factor Xa activity. The results provide a structural basis to suggest that the unique FGF-7 heparin-binding (HB) domain underlies a specific restriction in respect to composition and length of the heparansulfate motif that may impact specificity of localization, stability, and trafficking of FGF-7 in themicroenvironment, and formation and activation of the FGFR2IIIb kinase signaling complex in epithelialcells.
