HLA-A*02:01
ELAGIGILTV
Species
Locus / Allele group
Crystal structures of two closely related but antigenically distinct HLA-A2/melanocyte-melanoma tumor-antigen peptide complexes.
We have determined high-resolution crystal structures of the complexes of HLA-A2 molecules with two modified immunodominant peptides from the melanoma tumor-associated protein Melan-A/Melanoma Ag recognized by T cells-1. The two peptides, a decamer and nonamer with overlapping sequences (ELAGIGILTV and ALGIGILTV), are modified in the second residue to increase their affinity for HLA-A2. The modified decamer is more immunogenic than the natural peptide and a candidate for peptide-based melanoma immunotherapy. The crystal structures at 1.8 and 2.15 A resolution define the differences in binding modes of the modified peptides, including different clusters of water molecules that appear to stabilize the peptide-HLA interaction. The structures suggest both how the wild-type peptides would bind and how three categories of cytotoxic T lymphocytes with differing fine specificity might recognize the two peptides.

Data provenance
MHC:peptide complexes are visualised using PyMol. The peptide is superimposed on a consistent cutaway slice of the MHC binding cleft (displayed as a grey mesh) which best indicates the binding pockets for the P1/P5/PC positions (side view - pockets A, E, F) and for the P2/P3/PC-2 positions (top view - pockets B, C, D). In some cases peptides will use a different pocket for a specific peptide position (atypical anchoring). On some structures the peptide may appear to sterically clash with a pocket. This is an artefact of picking a standardised slice of the cleft and overlaying the peptide.

Data provenance
Neighbours are calculated by finding residues with atoms within 5Å of each other using BioPython Neighboursearch module. The list of neighbours is then sorted and filtered to inlcude only neighbours where between the peptide and the MHC Class I alpha chain.
Colours selected to match the YRB scheme. [https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmolb.2015.00056/full]

Data provenance
Sequences are retrieved via the Uniprot method of the RSCB REST API. Sequences are then compared to those derived from the PDB file and matched against sequences retrieved from the IPD-IMGT/HLA database for human sequences, or the IPD-MHC database for other species. Mouse sequences are matched against FASTA files from Uniprot. Sequences for the mature extracellular protein (signal petide and cytoplasmic tail removed) are compared to identical length sequences from the datasources mentioned before using either exact matching or Levenshtein distance based matching.
