Activating killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor 2DS2 binds to HLA-A*11
3 Feb 2014
Abstract excerpt
Inhibitory killer cell Ig-like receptors (KIRs) are known to recognize HLA ligands mainly of the HLA-C and Bw4 groups, but the ligands for KIRs are poorly understood. We report here the identification of the cognate ligand for the activating KIR 2DS2 as HLA-A*11:01. The crystal structure of the KIR2DS2-HLA-A*11:01 complex was solved at 2.5-Å resolution and revealed residue-binding characteristics distinct from...
