A Conserved Hydrophobic Patch on V\(\beta\) Domains Revealed by TCR\(\beta\) Chain Crystal Structures: Implications for Pre-TCR Dimerization
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2011)The \(\alpha\beta\) T cell receptor (TCR) is a multimeric complex whose \(\beta\) chain plays a crucial role in thymocyte development as well as antigen recognition by mature T lymphocytes. We report here crystal structures ... -
Metallothionein regulates intracellular zinc signaling during CD4+ T cell activation
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: The ultra-low redox potential and zinc binding properties of the intracellular pool of mammalian metallothioneins (MT) suggest a role for MT in the transduction of redox signals into intracellular zinc signals. ... -
Structural Features of the αβTCR Mechanotransduction Apparatus That Promote pMHC Discrimination
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2015)The αβTCR was recently revealed to function as a mechanoreceptor. That is, it leverages mechanical energy generated during immune surveillance and at the immunological synapse to drive biochemical signaling following ...
