1) |
of the extracellular domains of the H-2Kb
(αβ2m)
heterodimer |
2) |
formed by a network of anti-parallel
;β-strands and 2 α-helices, traced at one point here in the N-to-C
direction, starting in
α1 and ending in
α2. |
3) |
of
SEV-9 peptide
binding to
the α1α2
membrane-distal domains of
H-2Kb.
Note the positions of the 9 H2O
molecules. |
4) |
exposing the
interior positions of 9 H2O
molecules that effectively form the "glue"
that stabilizes the peptide and MHC pocket interaction. |
5) |
the
α3
membrane-proximal
domain
immunoglobulin fold. |
6) |
β2m
subunit
immunoglobulin fold. |
Color coding: |
- α1,
α2 , and
α3 =
a subunit domains of
H-2Kb
- β2m
=
β-2 microglobulin subunit
- O2 atoms of H2O molecules
(the H atoms are not visible)
-
SEV-9 =
Sendai Virus nucleoprotein peptide (Phe-Ala-Pro-Gly-Asn-Tyr-Pro-Ala-Leu)
bound to the
α1,α2
antigen binding pocket of H-2Kb.
