TR γδ G115 (PDB: 1hxm_A)

IMGT/3Dstructure-DB card: 1hxm

The TRDC C-DOMAIN is shown in two different orientations.

Side view (backbone model)

	C-DOMAIN C-DELTA TRDC

A C-DOMAIN corresponds to the complete C-REGION, to most of the C-REGION, or to part of the C-REGION, depending on the immunoglobulin or T cell receptor chain type.
This figure shows the C-DOMAIN of a delta chain (PDB: 1hxm_A) of a gamma-delta T cell receptor. Only the C-DELTA, part of the TRD C-REGION, is displayed. The carbohydrates are not shown.
In the PDB file, the sequence includes 17 amino acids of the CONNECTING-REGION of the delta chain, however, the 3D structure only includes C-DELTA amino acids up to position 120 (according to the IMGT unique numbering for C-DOMAIN and C-LIKE-DOMAIN).
The strands C, F and G are on the external face of C-DELTA. Strands A, B , D and E are on the interface with the C-GAMMA in the gamma-delta T cell receptor.

Legend:

C-DOMAIN loops are colored according to the IMGT color menu:
- TRD BC loop (red), FG loop (purple)
C-DOMAIN strands are colored according to the IMGT color menu for strand representation: A, B and C strands (orange), transversal CD strand (grey), D strand (yellow), E, F, G strands (blue).

This image has been generated with the program RASMOL version 2.6 [1] from the PDB file 1hxm [2], containing the atomic coordinates of the crystal structure of a human Vgamma9/Vdelta2 T cell receptor.
