Figure 2.
Interactions of the phosphorylation site in nonphosphopeptide and phosphopeptide HLA A2 complexes. Accommodation of the phosphate moiety by HLA A2 is accompanied by changed interactions in the complex, adding to the differential presentation of altered self. Stick representation of peptides and of heavy-chain side chains that interact with the phosphorylation site. Yellow indicates nonphospho-pHLA A2 complexes. Green indicates phospho-pHLA A2 complexes. (A–C) Phosphorylation of P5-Ser in CDC25b leads to an altered peptide conformation attributable to steric constraints. (D–F) Phosphorylation of P4-Ser in IRS2 gives rise to numerous interactions and subtly alters the conformation of Arg 65 and Lys 66. (G–I) Phosphorylation of P4-Ser in β-catenin stabilizes the mobile peptide residues P3 to P6.
