TI  - The structure of human parathyroid hormone-related protein(1-34) in
      near-physiological solution.
PG  - 239-44
AB  - Parathyroid hormone-related protein plays a major role in the pathogenesis of
      humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy. Under normal physiological conditions,
      parathyroid hormone-related protein is produced in a wide variety of tissues and 
      acts in an autocrine or paracrine fashion. Parathyroid hormone-related protein
      and parathyroid hormone bind to and activate the same G-protein-coupled receptor.
      Here we present the structure of the biologically active NH2-terminal domain of
      human parathyroid hormone-related protein(1-34) in near-physiological solution in
      the absence of crowding reagents as determined by two-dimensional proton magnetic
      resonance spectroscopy. An improved strategy for structure calculation revealed
      the presence of two helices, His-5-Leu-8 and Gln-16-Leu-27, connected by a
      flexible linker. The parathyroid hormone-related protein(1-34) structure and the 
      structure of human parathyroid hormone(1-37) as well as human parathyroid
      hormone(1-34) are highly similar, except for the well defined turn,
      His-14-Ser-17, present in parathyroid hormone. Thus, the similarity of the
      binding affinities of parathyroid hormone and parathyroid hormone-related protein
      to their common receptor may be based on their structural similarity.
