The human CXC chemokines IP-10 (10-kDa interferon-inducible protein), MIG (monokine induced by human interferon-gamma), and I-TAC (interferon-inducible T cell alpha chemoattractant) attract lymphocytes through activation of CXCR3. In the studies presented here, we examined interaction of these chemokines with human CXCR3 expressed in recombinant cells and human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL). IP-10, MIG, and I-TAC were agonists in stimulating [S-35]GTP gammaS binding in recombinant cell and PBL membranes but had no effect in the absence of hCXCR3 expression. I-125-IP-10 and I-125-I-TAC bound hCXCR3 with high affinity, although the I-125-I-TAC B-max value in saturation bindings was 7- to 13-fold higher than that measured with I-125-IP-10. Coincubation with unlabeled chemokines decreased I-125-IP-10 binding with a single discernible affinity. However, with I-125-I-TAC, competition with IP-10 or MIG was incomplete, and multiple binding affinities were evident. Moreover, in contrast to I-TAC, IP-10 and MIG binding IC50 values did not increase predictably with increased I-125-I-TAC concentration in competition bindings, suggesting that these chemokines are noncompetitive (i.e., allotopic) ligands. Uncoupling of hCXCR3 eliminated I-125-IP-10 binding but only decreased I-125-I-TAC binding 30 to 80%, indicating that unlike IP-10, I-TAC binds with high affinity to uncoupled (R) and coupled (R*) hCXCR3. To examine chemokine binding to R*, we tested the effect of anti-hCXCR3 antibody on I-TAC- and IP-10-stimulated [S-35]GTP gammaS binding. The antibody attenuated [S-35]GTP gammaS binding in response to IP-10 but not to I-TAC, suggesting that the two chemokines bind differently to R*. Moreover, increased occupancy of R* with a > 75-fold increase in I-125-IP-10 concentration did not increase the I-TAC binding IC50 value, and I-TAC increased the dissociation rate of I-125-IP-10. From these data, we conclude that the binding of IP-10 and I-TAC to the R* state of hCXCR3 is allotopic.
