Abstract excerpt
Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) is a pivotal immune checkpoint receptor, playing a crucial role in modulating T-cell activation. In this study, we delved into the underlying mechanism by which a common mutation, G199R, in the cytoplasmic domain of CTLA-4 impacts its inhibitory function. Utilizing nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and biochemical techniques, we mapped the conformational...
