Structural basis of 2C TCR allorecognition of H-2Ld peptide complexes.
MHC class I H-2Ld complexed with peptide QL9 (or p2Ca) is a high-affinity alloantigen for the 2C TCR. We used the crystal structure of H-2Ld with a mixture of bound peptides at 3.1 A to construct a model of the allogeneic 2C-Ld/QL9 complex for comparison with the syngeneic 2C-Kb/dEV8 structure. A prominent ridge on the floor of the Ld peptide-binding groove, not present in Kb, creates a C-terminal bulge in Ld peptides that greatly increases interactions with the 2C beta-chain. Furthermore, weak electrostatic complementarity between Asp77 on the alpha1 helix of Kb and 2C is enhanced in the allogeneic complex by closer proximity of QL9 peptide residue AspP8 to the 2C HV4 loop.

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.

Colour key
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.
