Structural Differences in KIR3DL1 and LILRB1 Interaction with HLA-B and the Loading Peptide Polymorphisms: In Silico Evidences

Figure 4

Solvent surface analysis evaluating loaded peptide and KIR3DL1 interaction. The electrostatic potential energy is shown with strongly positively charged (blue), neutral charged (white), and negative charged (red) residues. KIR3DL1 amino acid residues Leu166, Tyr200, and Glu282 and peptide position 8 contacts are shown. Only HLA-B alleles carrying Bw4 supertype are considered in comparison with KIR3DL1 receptor. Peptides Glu8 (a–d) and His 8 (e–h).
