Induced fit binding of ligand to IGF-1R and IR. a Proposed kinetic scheme. S1, S2: site 1 and site 2 on one receptor monomer; S1΄, S2΄: site 1 and site 2 on the opposing receptor monomer. Black filled circle: hot ligand (i.e., IGF-I, IGF-II or insulin). Grey circle: cold ligand (i.e., IGF-I, IGF-II or insulin). a1 and d1: ligand association and dissociation rate constants for the high-affinity site. a2 and d2: ligand association and dissociation rate constants for doubly liganded, symmetrical receptor conformation. a3 and d3: association and dissociation rate constant for binding of a third insulin molecule (IR only, not applicable to IGF-1R). b Plot for accelerated dissociation of a pre-bound tracer-labelled ligand by cold (unlabelled) ligand. The dissociation time was 20 min. The experimental data were as described previously (reproduced in Supplementary Table 4)18 and are shown as blue triangles for IGF-1 and red diamonds for insulin, with the fit of the induced-fit model to these data shown as lines (IGF-I blue; insulin red)
