PD-1 in complex with Dostarlimab
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 PubMedTargeting of programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) with monoclonal antibodies to block the interaction with its ligand PD-L1 has been successful in immunotherapy of multiple types of cancer, and their mechanism involves the restoration of the T-cell immune response. April 2021, the US FDA approved dostarlimab, a therapeutic antibody against PD-1, for the treatment of endometrial cancer. Here, we report the crystal structure of the extracellular domain of PD-1 in complex with the dostarlimab Fab at the resolution of 1.53 A. Although the interaction between PD-1 and dostarlimab involves mainly the residues within the heavy chain of dostarlimab, the steric occlusion of PD-L1 binding is primarily contributed by the light chain. Dostarlimab induces conformational rearrangements of the BC, C'D and FG loops of PD-1 to achieve a high affinity. Significantly, the residue R86 within the C'D loop of PD-1 plays a critical role for dostarlimab binding by occupying the concave surface on the heavy chain via multiple interactions. This high-resolution structure can provide helpful information for designing improved anti-PD-1 biologics or effective combination strategies for cancer immunotherapy.
