Overview
The three-dimensional structure of the soluble ecto-domain of HLA-DM has been determined to 2.5 A resolution by X-ray crystallography. HLA-DM has both peptide exchange activity and acts as a chaperone to peptide-free class II MHC molecules. As predicted, the structure is similar to that of classical class II MHC molecules except that the peptide-binding site is altered to an almost fully closed groove. An unusual cavity is found at the center of the region that binds peptides in class II MHC molecules, and a tryptophanrich lateral surface is identified that is a candidate both for binding to HLA-DR, to effect catalysis, and to HLA-DO, an inhibitor.
Disease
Known diseases associated with this structure: Branchiootorenal syndrome 2 OMIM:[600963], Glioblastoma multiforme, somatic OMIM:[601969], Medulloblastoma OMIM:[601969]
