crystal structure of BM3.3 ScFV TCR in complex with PBM8-H-2KBM8 MHC class I molecule
Overview
Binding degeneracy is thought to constitute a fundamental property of the, T-cell antigen receptor (TCR), yet its structural basis is poorly, understood. We determined the crystal structure of a complex involving the, BM3.3 TCR and a peptide (pBM8) bound to the H-2K(bm8) major, histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule, and compared it with the, structures of the BM3.3 TCR bound to H-2K(b) molecules loaded with two, peptides that had a minimal level of primary sequence identity with pBM8., Our findings provide a refined structural view of the basis of BM3.3 TCR, cross-reactivity and a structural explanation for the long-standing, paradox that a TCR antigen-binding site can be both specific and, degenerate. We also measured the thermodynamic features and biological, penalties that incurred during cross-recognition. Our data illustrate the, difficulty for a given TCR in adapting to distinct peptide-MHC surfaces, while still maintaining affinities that result in functional in vivo, responses. Therefore, when induction of protective effector T cells is, used as the ultimate criteria for adaptive immunity, TCRs are probably, much less degenerate than initially assumed.
