  ABSTRACT  
 
Natural killer (NK) cells direct cytotoxicity against tumor or virally infected cells. NK cell activation depends on a fine balance between inhibitory and activating receptors. NKp44 is a cytotoxicity activating receptor composed of one Ig-like extracellular domain, a transmembrane segment, and a cytoplasmic domain. The 2.2 A crystal structure shows that the NKp44 Ig domain forms a saddle-shaped dimer, where a charged surface groove protrudes from the core structure in each subunit. NKp44 Ig domain disulfide bridge topology defines a new Ig structural subfamily. The data presented are a first step toward understanding the molecular basis for ligand recognition by natural cytotoxicity receptors, whose key role in the immune system is established, but whose cellular ligands are still elusive.

Figure 3. Superposition of NKp44 Ig Domain with the Closest Structural HomologsTCR a chain (A), CD8 (B), and N-terminal sialoadhesin (C) Ig domains. NKp44 is shown in gray, with the CC' and FG loops shown in red as in Figure 1; TCR, CD8, and sialoadhesin are shown in green, pink, and blue, respectively. In all three drawings, the orientation of the NKp44 Ig domain is the same as in Figure 1. Optimal superposition was performed using the program HOMOMGRPA (Rossmann and Argos, 1976).

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB codes are shown on the right.
