Crystal Structure of Variable Lymphocyte Receptor (VLR) RBC36 in Complex with H-trisaccharide
About these Structures
Lamprey VLRs are members of the Leucine-rich repeat (LRR) family of diverse proteins. Variable lymphocyte receptors are involved in the adaptative immune response.
3e6j is a single chain structure of sequence from Petromyzon marinus. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
3g3b is an 8 chain structure with sequences from Gallus gallus and Petromyzon marinus. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
3g3a is an 8 chain structure with sequences from Gallus gallus and Petromyzon marinus. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
3g39 is a single chain structure with sequence from Petromyzon marinus. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
3m18 is a 2 chain structure with sequences from Gallus gallus and Petromyzon marinus. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
3m19 is a 2 chains structure with sequences from Petromyzon marinus. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
