Abstract
KIR3DL1 is an inhibitory receptor that regulates natural killer (NK) cell immune function. Cheng et al. describe NMR-based studies of its disordered cytoplasmic portion. The work characterized conformation dynamics as it binds with SH2 domains of the tyrosine phosphatase, SHP-2, which has broad implications in understanding inhibitory receptor function.
