CRYSTAL STRUCTURE AT 2.8 ANGSTROMS RESOLUTION OF A SOLUBLE FORM OF THE CELL ADHESION MOLECULE CD2
Overview
The crystal structure of a soluble form of the T lymphocyte antigen CD2, provides the first complete view of the extracellular region of a cell, adhesion molecule. The topology of the molecule, which comprises two, immunoglobulin-like domains, is the same as that of the first two domains, of CD4 but the relative domain orientation is altered by a fairly flexible, linker region. The putative ligand-binding beta-sheet forms a flat surface, towards the top of the molecule. Crystal contacts between these surfaces, suggest a plausible model for the adhesive interaction.
