The complex structure of PD-1 and cemiplimab
Structural highlights
DiseasePDCD1_HUMAN Systemic lupus erythematosus;Multiple sclerosis. Systemic lupus erythematosus 2 (SLEB2) [MIM:605218: A chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue, characterized principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys and serosal membranes. It is of unknown etiology, but is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. The disease is marked by a wide range of system dysfunctions, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and the formation of LE cells in the blood or bone marrow. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.[1] FunctionPDCD1_HUMAN Inhibitory cell surface receptor involved in the regulation of T-cell function during immunity and tolerance. Upon ligand binding, inhibits T-cell effector functions in an antigen-specific manner. Possible cell death inducer, in association with other factors.[2] Publication Abstract from PubMedImmune checkpoint therapy (ICT) with a monoclonal antibody (MAb) against programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) is a powerful clinical treatment for tumors. Cemiplimab is a human IgG4 antibody approved in 2018 and is the first MAb proven to be effective for locally advanced basal cell carcinoma. Here, we report the crystal structure of cemiplimab bound to PD-1 and the effects of PD-1 N-glycosylation on the interactions with cemiplimab. The structure of the cemiplimab/PD-1 complex shows that cemiplimab mainly binds to PD-1 with its heavy chain, whereas the light chain serves as the predominant region to compete with the binding of PD-L1 to PD-1. The interaction network of cemiplimab to PD-1 resembles that of camrelizumab (another PD-1-binding MAb), and the N58 glycan on the BC loop of PD-1 may be involved in the interaction with cemiplimab. The binding affinity of cemiplimab with PD-1 was substantially decreased with N58-glycan-deficient PD-1, whereas the PD-1/PD-L1 blocking efficiency of cemiplimab was attenuated upon binding to the N58-glycosylation-deficient PD-1. These results indicate that both the binding and blocking efficacy of cemiplimab require the N58 glycosylation of PD-1. Taken together, these findings expand our understanding of the significance of PD-1 glycosylation in the interaction with cemiplimab.
