The present invention relates to crystallizable compositions and crystals of BAFF. In addition, this invention relates to the high resolution structure of a BAFF polypeptide as obtained by X-Ray crystallography. This invention also relates to a computer (machine) comprising a machine-readable data storage medium comprising a data storage material enconded with machine-readable data comprising the structure coordinates provided by this invention. This invention also relates to methods of using the structure coordinates of BAFF to solve the structure of similar or homologous molecules or molecular complexes and methods of determining the homology model of a similar or homologous molecule, such as APRIL. This invention also provides a computer capable of producing a three-dimensional representation of APRIL based on the homology model structure coordinates. This invention also relates to methods using the structure coordinates of BAFF to design chemical entities or compounds, including agonists or antagonists, with improved properties (such as increased or decreased binding affinity for (BAFF). This invention also provides variants of BAFF. This invention also relates to compositions comprising said chemical entities, compounds, including agonists or antagonists of BAFF, or variants.

la présente invention concerne des compositions cristallisables et des cristaux de BAFF. L'invention concerne en outre la structure à haute résolution d'un polypeptide BAFF obtenue par cristallographie aux rayons X. Elle concerne également un ordinateur assorti d'un support de stockage de données lisibles par machine comprenant un matériau de stockage de données codé au moyen de données lisibles par machine, dont les coordonnées structurelles fournies par cette invention. Cette invention concerne aussi des méthodes d'utilisation des coordonnées structurelles de BAFF visant à résoudre la structure de molécules ou de complexes moléculaires similaires ou homologues et des techniques permettant de déterminer le modèle d'homologie d'une molécule similaire ou homologue, telle qu'APRIL. Est également décrit un ordinateur capable de produire une représentation tridimensionnelle d'APRIL à partir des coordonnées structurelles du modèle d'homologie. Par ailleurs, l'invention concerne des méthodes d'utilisation des coordonnées structurelles de BAFF dans le but de concevoir des entités ou des composés, dont des agonistes ou des antagonistes, dotés de propriétés améliorées (telles qu'une affinité de liaison accrue pour BAFF). L'invention concerne également des variantes de BAFF, ainsi que des compositions renfermant les entités et composés chimiques susmentionnés, dont des agonistes ou des antagonistes, ou bien des variants de BAFF.
