Crystal structure of the N-myristoylated lipopeptide-bound MHC class I complex.
The covalent conjugation of a 14-carbon saturated fatty acid (myristic acid) to the amino-terminal glycine residue is critical for some viral proteins to function. This protein lipidation modification, termed N-myristoylation, is targeted by host cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) that specifically recognize N-myristoylated short peptides; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying lipopeptide antigen (Ag) presentation remain elusive. Here we show that a primate major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-encoded protein is capable of binding N-myristoylated 5-mer peptides and presenting them to specific CTLs. A high-resolution X-ray crystallographic analysis of the MHC class I:lipopeptide complex reveals an Ag-binding groove that is elaborately constructed to bind N-myristoylated short peptides rather than prototypic 9-mer peptides. The identification of lipopeptide-specific, MHC class I-restricted CTLs indicates that the widely accepted concept of MHC class I-mediated presentation of long peptides to CTLs may need some modifications to incorporate a novel MHC class I function of lipopeptide Ag presentation.

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.
