Introduction
IL-33 was identified based on sequence and structural homology with IL-1 family cytokines. The N-terminal portion of full length IL-33 contains a predicted bipartite nuclear localization sequence and a homeodomain-like helix-turn-helix DNA binding domain. The C-
terminal fragment, corresponding to mature IL-33, binds and triggers signaling through mast cell IL-1 R4/ST2L, a longtime orphan
receptor involved in the augmentation of Th2 cell responses. A ternary signaling complex is formed by the subsequent association of IL-33 and ST2L with IL-1R AcP. Stimulation of Th2 polarized lymphocytes with mature IL-33 in vitro induces IL-5 and IL-13 secretion. In vivo administration of mature IL-33 promotes increased production of IL-5, IL-13, IgE, and IgA, as well as splenomegaly and
inflammatory infiltration of mucosal tissues.
