Identification of an Arg-Leu-Arg tripeptide that contributes to the binding interface between the cytokine MIF and the chemokine receptor CXCR4.

While the mutant failed to show any chemotactic activity at the optimal concentration of WT-MIF (16 nM), a slight increase in activity was noted at 32 nM, although this effect did not reach statistical significance.
