Molecular characterization of the archaic HLA-B*73:01 allele reveals presentation of a unique peptidome and skewed engagement by KIR2DL2

Philipp Ross, Hugo G. Hilton, Jane E. Lodwick…·Erin J. Adams

The paper characterizes HLA-B*73:01, revealing its unique peptide binding motif, restricted peptidome, and distinct interaction with KIR2DL2, suggesting evolutionary advantages in pathogen resistance.

Disruption of riboflavin biosynthesis in mycobacteria establishes 5-amino-6-D-ribitylaminouracil (5-A-RU) as key precursor of MAIT cell agonists

Melissa Dalcina Chengalroyen, Nurudeen Oketade, Aneta H. Worley…·David Michael Lewinsohn

Deleting early riboflavin genes (ribA2 in both species, ribG in M. smegmatis) sharply reduced MAIT cell activation, while ribH deletion raised recognition of M. tuberculosis only.
