摘要: Large DNA viruses of the herpesvirus family produce proteins that mimic host MHC-I molecules as part their immunoevasive strategy. The m144 glycoprotein, expressed by murine cytomegalovirus, is thought to be an homolog whose expression prolongs viral survival in vivo preventing natural killer cell activation. To explore structural basis this function, we have determined three-dimensional structure m144/β2-microglobulin (β2m) complex at 1.9 A resolution. This reveals canonical features including readily identifiable α1, α2, and α3 domains. unique disulfide bond links α1 helix b-sheet floor, explaining known thermal stability m144. Close juxtaposition α2 helices lack critical residues normally contribute anchoring peptide N C termini eliminates binding. region 13 amino acid residues, corresponding amino-terminal portion helix, missing electron density map, suggesting area flexibility may involved ligand
