Structural plasticity of KIR2DL2 and KIR2DL3 enables altered docking geometries atop HLA-C

KIR2DL2 and KIR2DL3 are two inhibitory members of the killer-cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) family that share a common HLA-I preference in binding HLA from the C1 group. However, it is still unclear to what extent binding and function is equivalent between KIR2DL2 and 2DL3. Here, the autho...
