Theinterleukin-5 receptoris atype I cytokine receptor.It is a heterodimer of theinterleukin 5 receptor alpha subunitandCSF2RB.[1][2]

The IL-5 receptor (IL-5R) belongs to thetype I cytokine receptorfamily and is a heterodimer composed of twopolypeptidechains, one α subunit, which binds IL-5 and confers upon the receptor cytokine specificity, and one β subunit, which contains thesignal transductiondomains.

α-subunit

[edit]

The IL-5Rα chain is exclusively expressed by eosinophils, somebasophilsand murine B1 cells or B cell precursors.[3]Like many other cytokine receptors,alternative splicingof the α-chain gene results in expression of either a membrane bound or soluble form of the bα-chain. The soluble form does not lead to signal transduction and therefore has an antagonistic effect on IL-5 signaling. Both monomeric forms of IL-5Rα are low affinity receptors, while dimerization with the β-chain produces a high affinity receptor.[4]In either case, the α-chain exclusively binds IL-5 and the intra-cellular portion of IL-5Rα is associated withJanus kinase(JAK) 2, aprotein tyrosine-kinaseessential in IL-5 signal transduction.[5][6]

β-subunit

[edit]

The β-subunit of the IL-5 receptor is responsible for signal transduction and contains several intracellular signaling domains. Unlike the α-chain, the β-chain does not bind IL-5, is not specific to this cytokine, and is expressed on practically allleukocytes.In fact, the β-subunit of the IL-5 receptor is also found inIL-3andGM-CSFreceptors where it is associated withIL-3RαandGM-CSFRαsubunits respectively.[7]Therefore, it is known as the common β receptor or βc. As with the IL-5Rα subunit, the β subunit’scytoplasmicdomain is constitutively associated withJAK2,[8]as well asLYN,[9]another tyrosine kinase, which are both essential for IL-5 signal transduction.[10]

Drug target

[edit]

Three monoclonal antibodies are available to target IL-5R.Benralizumabbinds to IL-5Ra, whilemepolizumabandreslizumabbind to IL-5, preventing it from binding to IL-5Ra.
