  ABSTRACT  
 
The three-dimensional structure of a human alphabeta T cell receptor (TCR), B7, bound to the HLA-A2 molecule/HTLV-1 Tax peptide complex was determined by x-ray crystallography. Although different from the A6 TCR, previously studied, in 16 of the 17 residues that contact HLA-A2/Tax, the B7 TCR binds in a similar diagonal manner, only slightly tipped and rotated, relative to the A6 TCR. The structure explains data from functional assays on the specificity differences between the B7 and A6 TCRs for agonist, partial agonist, and null peptides. The existence of a structurally similar diagonal binding mode for TCRs favors mechanisms based on the formation of geometrically defined supramolecular assemblies for initiating signaling.

Figure 1. Comparison of the Diagonal Binding Modes of the Human B7 TCR and A6 TCR Bound to the HLA-A2/HTLV-1 Tax Peptide Complex(A) Shown are the three variable or CDR loops of B7 TCR Vα (red) and Vβ (yellow); A6 TCR (blue); HLA (dark blue); and peptide (white). The variable loop 4 of Vα is omitted because it makes no contacts in the B7 TCR complex.(B) The Vα and Vβ domains of each TCR bound to HLA-A2 (colors as in [A]). The α[1]α[2] domains of HLA-A2 from each TCR/MHC structure are superimposed.(C) TCR/HLA-A2/Tax complexes are compared by superimposing the HLA-A2 (blue) molecule. B7 TCR (red); A6 TCR (green). B7–CDR2β contacts HLA-A2 (arrow); A6–CDR2β does not.(D) Vα (blue)–Vβ (red) interface in B7 and A6 (light colors). β chains of B7 and A6 are superimposed.Figure drawn with RIBBONS ([6]).

Surface color: red, negative electrostatic charge potential; blue, positive.(B) The molecular surface of the A6 TCR with a ball-and-stick model of the bound Tax peptide superimposed.Figure drawn with GRASP ([28]).

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.
