The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 are key risk factors in coeliac disease, as they bind deamidated gluten peptides that are subsequently recognized by CD4+ T cells. Here, the production and crystallization of both HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 in complex with the deamidated gliadin peptides DQ2 alpha-I (PQPELPYPQ) and DQ8 alpha-I (EGSFQPSQE), respectively, are reported.
主要组织相容性复合体(MHC)II类分子HLA-DQ2和HLA-DQ8是乳糜泻的关键风险因素,因为它们结合脱酰胺麦醇溶蛋白肽,随后这些肽被CD4 + T细胞识别。在此,分别报道了HLA-DQ2和HLA-DQ8与脱酰胺麦醇溶蛋白肽DQ2α-I(PQPELPYPQ)和DQ8α-I(EGSFQPSQE)形成复合物的产生和结晶情况。
