Crystal structure of the heterotrimeric interleukin IL-2 receptor (IL-2Rabg) in complex with IL-2. IL-2Rb (turquoise) and IL-2Rg (green) form a 3-way junction with IL-2 (yellow) at the heart of the quaternary high-affinity IL-2 signaling complex. The network of residues that mediate these contacts (red) provides a compelling structural basis for cooperativity in the assembly of the IL-2–IL-2R complex. Image by Erik W. Debler, graduate student in the laboratory of Ian A. Wilson, D. Phil.
