A key amino acid important for CCL19\u2010mediated receptor activation is arginine 209 (R209) in extracellular loop 2 (ECL2) of CCR7. CCL21 activation of CCR7, in contrast, does not depend on R209. Using chimeric versions of CCL19 and CCL21, we investigate the importance of the N\u2010terminal region, core domain and C\u2010terminal region of CCL19 and CCL21 in contributing to this distinction. Overall, signalling via G\n                    <jats:sub>\u03b1i<\/jats:sub>\n                    and \u03b2\u2010arrestin2 recruitment induced by CCL19 and all variants containing the N\u2010terminal region of CCL19 is negatively impacted by substituting arginine 209 with an alanine (R209A), whereas signalling induced by ligands with the N\u2010terminal region of CCL21 is either unaffected or positively affected by this substitution. Of interest, the R209A substitution greatly improves the ability of CCL21 and all chemokine variants carrying the N\u2010terminal region of CCL21 to induce \u03b2\u2010arrestin2 recruitment by CCR7, with a general two\u2010fold increase in efficacy at 100\u2010nM chemokine concentrations. Our data fit with the proposed model for CCL19 and CCL21 docking at CCR7, where the more negatively charged N\u2010terminus of CCL19 contacts R209 during insertion into the CCR7 binding pocket, while CCL21 contacts the binding pocket in a different manner.\n
