  ABSTRACT  
 
CD8(+) T-cells specific for MART-1-(26-35), a dominant melanoma epitope restricted by human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A*0201, are exceptionally common in the naive T-cell repertoire. Remarkably, the TRAV12-2 gene is used to encode the T-cell receptor alpha (TCRalpha) chain in >87% of these T-cells. Here, the molecular basis for this genetic bias is revealed from the structural and thermodynamic properties of an archetypal TRAV12-2-encoded TCR complexed to the clinically relevant heteroclitic peptide, ELAGIGILTV, bound to HLA-A*0201 (A2-ELA). Unusually, the TRAV12-2 germ line-encoded regions of the TCR dominate the major atomic contacts with the peptide at the TCR/A2-ELA interface. This "innate" pattern of antigen recognition probably explains the unique characteristics and extraordinary frequencies of CD8(+) T-cell responses to this epitope.
 
  Selected figure(s)  
 
Figure 1.
A, the co-crystal structure of MEL5 (α chain shown as a yellow schematic diagram, β chain shown as a salmon schematic diagram) bound to the HLA-A*0201 (shown as green and blue schematic diagrams) molecule complexed with the ELAGIGILTV peptide (shown as blue sticks). B, expanded view of the interface between the MEL5 variable domain bound to the A2-ELA surface (colors as in A). The overall conformation of the ELAGIGILTV peptide (N to C terminus, left to right), including the central peptide bulge, is displayed. C, view from above of the MEL5 CDR loops bound to the A2-ELA surface (colors as in A; MEL5 CDR loops shown as spheres). The MEL5 TCR binds toward the N terminus of the peptide, making contacts with the peptide via its CDR1 and CDR3 loops and contacts with the MHC surface via its CDR1 and CDR2 loops.
Figure 2.
A, the interactions between the CDR loops of MEL5 α chain (shown as yellow sticks) and the ELAGIGILTV peptide (shown as blue sticks). Electrostatic interactions are depicted as black dotted lines, and vdW interactions are shown as red dotted lines. B, the interactions between the CDR loops of MEL5 β chain (shown as salmon sticks) and the ELAGIGILTV peptide (shown as blue sticks). Electrostatic interactions are depicted as black dotted lines, and vdW interactions are shown as red dotted lines.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB code is shown on the right.
