”Revealing the peptide presenting process of human leukocyte antigen through the analysis of fluctuation”

【Significance】
Fluctuation regulates the peptide presentation of human leukocyte antigen

Structural fluctuation on microsecond time scale has been reported to play an important role in proteins that undergo significant structural changes during their expression of function. However, protein motions could contribute to the function of proteins, even if no significant structural difference is observed in crystal structures of different states of their function. In this review we introduce our recent reports on the stabilization mechanism of human leukocyte antigen (HLA), where the fluctuation of HLA contributes to its function without obvious changes in the crystal structure. We discuss the possibility of fluctuation contributing to several biophysical properties of HLA.
