Abstract excerpt
The sequence motif of peptide ligands naturally associated with DR17 has indicated conserved residues at the relative positions P1-P4-P6-P 8.9 or 10. Eight naturally processed DR17 ligands were synthesized to study the role of conserved residues in DR17 binding. In their majority, they showed an excellent ability to bind to purified DR17 molecules. Binding experiments with variant peptides confirmed aspartate as...
