Nonapeptide Analogues Containing (R)-3-Hydroxybutanoate and β-Homoalanine Oligomers:  Synthesis and Binding Affinity to a Class I Major Histocompatibility Complex Protein

Crystal structures of antigenic peptides bound to class I MHC proteins suggest that chemical modifications of the central part of the bound peptide should not alter binding …

Structure-Based Design of Nonnatural Ligands for the HLA-B27 Protein

X-ray studies as well as structure-activity relationships indicate that the central part of class I MHC-binding nonapeptides represents the main interaction site for a T cell …

Deadier, S.

Long-range effects in protein–ligand interactions mediate peptide specificity inl the human major histocompatibility antigen HLA-B27 (B*2701)

B*2701 differs from all other HLA-B27 subtypes of known peptide specificity in that, among its natural peptide ligands, arginine is not the only allowed residue at peptide position …

Krebs, S.

From peptides to peptidomimetics: design of nonpeptide ligands for major histocompatibility proteins

The ever increasing data available on antigen presentation by class I or class II histocompatibility proteins have made these glycoproteins highly interesting pharmaceutical …

Krebs, S.

The same natural ligand is involved in allorecognition of multiple HLA-B27 subtypes by a single T cell clone: role of peptide and the MHC molecule in alloreactivity.

The human alloreactive CTL clone 27S69, raised against B*2705, cross-reacts with B*2702 and B*2703, but not with B*2701, B*2704, B*2706, or B*2710.

Substituting nonpeptidic spacers for the T cell receptor-binding part of class I major histocompatibility complex-binding peptides.

X-ray diffraction studies as well as structure-activity relationships indicate that the central part of class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-binding nonapeptides …

Mutation of cis-proline 207 in mitochondrial creatine kinase to alanine leads to increased acid stability.

We show that the mutation of an uncharged residue far from the active site to another uncharged residue can have effects on the active site without disturbing the overall structure …

Synthesis of Oligo(3-hydroxybutanoate)(OHB)-Containing Peptides with High Binding Affinity to a Class-I-MHC Protein

In the center of the immune system, there are major histocompatibility (MHC) protein/nonapeptide complexes which are recognized by T cell.

Seebach, D.

Binding of rationally designed non-natural peptides to the human leukocyte antigen HLA-B*2705

High-affinity ligands of non-peptidic nature, binding to the class I major histocompatibility complex protein HLA B*2705 whose expression is strongly linked to the pathogenesis of …

Krebs, S.

An HLA-B27 polymorphism (B*2710) that is critical for T-cell recognition has limited effects on peptide specificity

Abstract: The B*2710 subtype differs from the HLA-B27 prototype (B*2705) only by having Glu instead of Val at position 152, in the α2 helix of the peptide-binding site.
