FIGURE 2. Structure of the Ly49C-H-2K^b complex. A, ribbon diagram of the Ly49C-H-2K^b complex. Domains are labeled. The 1, 2, and 3 domains of the MHC-I heavy chain are green; β[2]mis orange; the MHC-bound peptide in ball-and-stick representation is gray; the Ly49C dimer is rose. B, composite omit electron density map (dark green, contoured at 1.5 ) of Ly49C-H-2K^b at 2.90 Å resolution, showing residues 218-226 of Ly49C helix 3. C, structural rearrangements in Ly49C induced by binding to MHC-I. Bound Ly49C is rose; unbound Ly49C is gold; H-2K^b is green. Salt bridges are indicated by solid lines.
