Elucidation of the molecular interactions that enable stable assembly and structural diversity in multicomponent immune receptors.

Abstract excerpt

Multicomponent immune receptors are essential complexes in which distinct ligand-recognition and signaling subunits are held together by interactions between acidic and basic residues of their transmembrane helices. A 2:1 acidic-to-basic motif in the transmembrane domains of the subunits is necessary and sufficient to assemble these receptor complexes. Here, we study a prototype for these receptors, a DAP12-NKG2C...
