CD1B IN COMPLEX WITH PHOPHATIDYLINOSITOL
OverviewOverview
The human genome encodes five nonpolymorphic major histocompatibility, complex class I-like glycoproteins, CD1a to CD1e, that present lipid, antigens for specific recognition by T lymphocytes. Using single alkyl, chain detergents, we developed a protocol to generate recombinant human, CD1b-lipid complexes. We present here the crystal structures of CD1b in, complex with either phosphatidylinositol or ganglioside GM2 at 2.3 A and, 2.8 A resolutions, respectively. The antigen-binding groove houses four, interlinked hydrophobic channels that are occupied by the alkyl chains of, the glycolipid plus two detergent molecules. A distinct exit beneath the, alpha 2 helix further contributes to the plasticity of the binding groove., These structures reveal the mechanism by which two alkyl chain ... [(full description)]
