Figure 6.
Fig. 6. Model of the scD10-SEB-pMHCII interaction complex. (A) Superposition of the V C -SEB complex (in dark blue) and the scD10-CA/I-A^k complex. The V domains from each complex were used for least-square fitting (92 C atoms from residues Val3-Gly94 of V , rmsd = 0.67 Å). The color scheme for the complex of D10-CA/I-A^k is as labeled. (B) The superposition of the SEB/HLA-DR1 complex (in brown) to the already superimposed V C -SEB complex (in dark blue) and scD10 (V V ) module derived from (A). The two SEB superantigen molecules were used for least-square fitting (83 C atoms, rmsd = 0.63 Å). (C) scD10-SEB-CA/I-A^k interaction complex. DR1 in Fig. 6B has been replaced with I-A^k on the basis of structural alignment of residues of the two helices of each MHC molecule (43 C atoms, rmsd = 1.02 Å).
