Figure 6.
Fig. 6. Surface analysis of the hypothetical ligand-binding site in CD69. A, representation of the solvent-accessible surfaces of the ligand-binding site in Ly49A (left) and the equivalent region in CD69 (right). Surfaces have been colored based on the nature of the underlying atoms (carbons and sulfurs in green, polar nitrogens and oxygens in pink, charged nitrogens in dark blue, and charged oxygens in red). For Ly49A, the footprinting of its ligand, the mouse MHC class I molecule H-2D d, has been contoured with a black line. In CD69, relevant residues in the putative ligand-binding site have been labeled. B, overview of the CD69 dimer with the region highlighted in panel A enclosed in a black box.
