Abstract
An alphabeta T-cell receptor (alphabetaTCR)/hemagglutinin (HA) peptide/human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR1 complex was stabilized by flexibly linking the HA peptide with the human HA1.7 alphabetaTCR, to increase the local concentration of the interacting proteins once the peptide has been loaded onto the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule. The structure of the complex, determined by X-ray crystallography, has a binding mode similar to that of the human B7 alphabetaTCR on a pMHCI molecule. Twelve of the 15 MHC residues contacted are at the same positions observed earlier in class I MHC/peptide/TCR complexes. One contact, to an MHC loop outside the peptide-binding site, is conserved and specific to pMHCII complexes. TCR gene usage in the response to HA/HLA-DR appears to conserve charged interactions between three lysines of the peptide and acidic residues on the TCR.
Figure 3.
Figure 3 Interaction of TCR HA1.7 with HLA-DR1 and HA peptide. (A) TCR contacts. Contacts of CDR residues (solid red lines) with HLA-DR1 (solid blue lines) and the HA peptide (solid black line) are indicated by dashed green and dashed red lines, respectively. Human MHC class II conserved (filled circles) and polymorphic residues (open circles) are shown. (B) Contacts between CDR2 and the conserved Lys39 of DR1 outside of the peptide-binding site (van der Waals contacts, dashed black lines; potential hydrogen bonds, dashed red lines). (C) MHC–peptide solvent-accessible surface buried by the TCR, colored by CDR type (see key). The total accessible surfaces buried on pMHC by the TCR are 1111 Å^2 for HA1.7/DR1/HA, 1041 Å^2 for D10/I-Ak/CA, 1031 Å^2 for A6/A2/TAX, 918 Å^2 for B7/A2/TAX and 1111 Å^2 for 2C/H-2Kb/DEV8. The antigenic peptide is shown by a white line. Figures were prepared with MOLSCRIPT (Kraulis, 1991), Raster3D (Merritt and Murphy, 1994) and GRASP (Nicholls et al., 1991).
Figure 4.
Figure 4 Recognition of the HA peptide by TCR HA1.7. (A) Binding of the HA peptide (yellow) to the surface of the TCR HA1.7 (top) and in the groove of DR1 (bottom). HA1.7 and DR1 were moved apart and rotated around the long axis of the peptide by -20° and +20°, respectively, in order to allow a better view into the peptide-binding sites. Positive and negative electrostatic surface potentials of HA1.7 and DR1 are indicated in blue and red, respectively. (B) van der Waals contacts and potential hydrogen bonds between TCR HA1.7 and HA peptide are shown by black and red dashed lines, respectively. (C) Electrostatic interactions between the three lysines (P–1, P3 and P8) of HA with acidic residues of HA1.7 TCR. (D) HA and CA peptide residues that are contacted by TCR HA1.7 and D10, respectively, are shown in red. The number of peptide residues that are contacted by the different TCRs and the range over which they are distributed are indicated. (A–C) were prepared with MOLSCRIPT (Kraulis, 1991), Raster3D (Merritt and Murphy, 1994) and GRASP (Nicholls et al., 1991).
