Structure of a Membrane-embredded Immune Cell Receptor (IMAGE)
Caption
The membrane-embedded portions of transmembrane signaling receptors play a critical role in transmitting the signals that activate lymphocytes and initiate immune responses. Recently determined structures of proteins such as the T cell receptor-associated zeta protein (pictured) are providing new leads into how this process works and what kinds of motions may be involved.
