CRYSTAL STRUCTURE ANALYSIS OF THE GAMMA/DELTA T CELL LIGAND T22
Contents |
Overview
Murine T10 and T22 are highly related nonclassical major, histocompatibility complex (MHC) class Ib proteins that bind to certain, gammadelta T cell receptors (TCRs) in the absence of other components. The, crystal structure of T22b at 3.1 angstroms reveals similarities to MHC, class I molecules, but one side of the normal peptide-binding groove is, severely truncated, which allows direct access to the beta-sheet floor., Potential gammadelta TCR-binding sites can be inferred from functional, mapping of T10 and T22 point mutants and allelic variants. Thus, T22, represents an unusual variant of the MHC-like fold and indicates that, gammadelta and alphabeta TCRs interact differently with their respective, MHC ligands.
