CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF CLASS I MHC A2 IN COMPLEX WITH PEPTIDE P1058
Structural highlights
DiseaseB2MG_HUMAN Defects in B2M are the cause of hypercatabolic hypoproteinemia (HYCATHYP) [MIM:241600. Affected individuals show marked reduction in serum concentrations of immunoglobulin and albumin, probably due to rapid degradation.[1] Note=Beta-2-microglobulin may adopt the fibrillar configuration of amyloid in certain pathologic states. The capacity to assemble into amyloid fibrils is concentration dependent. Persistently high beta(2)-microglobulin serum levels lead to amyloidosis in patients on long-term hemodialysis.[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] FunctionB2MG_HUMAN Component of the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC).

Publication Abstract from PubMedRecognition of virally infected cells by CD8+ T cells requires differentiation between self and nonself peptide-class I major histocompatibility complexes (pMHC). Recognition of foreign pMHC by host T cells is a major factor in the rejection of transplanted organs from the same species (allotransplant) or different species (xenotransplant). AHIII12.2 is a murine T cell clone that recognizes the xenogeneic (human) class I MHC HLA-A2.1 molecule (A2) and the syngeneic murine class I MHC H-2 D(b) molecule (D(b)). Recognition of both A2 and D(b) are peptide-dependent, and the sequences of the peptides recognized have been determined. Alterations in the antigenic peptides bound to A2 cause large changes in AHIII12.2 T cell responsiveness. Crystal structures of three representative peptides (agonist, null, and antagonist) bound to A2 partially explain the changes in AHIII12.2 responsiveness. Using class I pMHC octamers, a strong correlation is seen between T cell activity and the affinity of pMHC complexes for the T cell receptor. However, contrary to previous studies, we see similar half-lives for the pMHC multimers bound to the AHIII12.2 cell surface. T cell activity correlates with oligomeric peptide-major histocompatibility complex binding on T cell surface.,Buslepp J, Zhao R, Donnini D, Loftus D, Saad M, Appella E, Collins EJ J Biol Chem. 2001 Dec 14;276(50):47320-8.
