CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF HLA-B*2705 COMPLEXED WITH THE LATENT MEMBRANE PROTEIN 2 PEPTIDE (LMP2)OF EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS
Overview
Molecular mimicry is discussed as a possible mechanism that may contribute, to the development of autoimmune diseases. It could also be involved in, the differential association of the human major histocompatibility, subtypes HLA-B(*)2705 and HLA-B(*)2709 with ankylosing spondylitis. These, two subtypes differ only in residue 116 of the heavy chain (Asp in, B(*)2705 and His in B(*)2709), but the reason for the differential disease, association is not understood. Using x-ray crystallography, we show here, that the viral peptide pLMP2 (RRRWRRLTV, derived from latent membrane, protein 2 (residues 236-244) of Epstein-Barr virus) is presented by the, B(*)2705 and B(*)2709 molecules in two drastically deviating, conformations. Extensive structural similarity between pLMP2 and the, self-peptide ... [(full description)]
