In MHC Class I (mouse and human) Q226 is part of the binding site for CD8[1]. Regarding the alpha chain (A) in human MHC 1akj, the authors state:

A flexible loop of the alpha3 domain (residues 223-229) is clamped between the complementarity-determining region (CDR)-like loops of the two CD8 subunits in the classic manner of an antibody-antigen interaction ....

Hydrogen bonds between CD8 and the alpha chain of HLA-A2 that involve this loop are (from Table 2[1]):

CD8:D  T30.OG1 : T225.O     HLA-A2:A  2.7 Å
CD8:E  S34.OG  : Q226.NE2             3.0
CD8:D  S100.O  : Q226.NE2             3.0
CD8:D  S100.OG : Q226.O               2.7
CD8:E  Y51.OH  : D227.OD2             3.0
CD8:D  N99.OD1 : L230.N               3.0
CD8:D  N99.ND2 : L230.O               3.4
CD8:D  S27.OG1 : E232.OE1             2.7

Similar interactions occur in the mouse in 1bqh[2]. Sequence comparison of the alpha chain of MHC in the CD8-binding regions:
