Abstract
|
|
|
A central paradigm in αβ T cell-mediated immunity is the simultaneous
co-recognition of antigens and antigen-presenting molecules by the αβ T cell
antigen receptor (TCR). CD1a presents a broad repertoire of lipid-based
antigens. We found that a prototypical autoreactive TCR bound CD1a when it was
presenting a series of permissive endogenous ligands, while other lipid ligands
were nonpermissive to TCR binding. The structures of two TCR-CD1a-lipid
complexes showed that the TCR docked over the A' roof of CD1a in a manner that
precluded direct contact with permissive ligands. Nonpermissive ligands
indirectly inhibited TCR binding by disrupting the TCR-CD1a contact zone. The
exclusive recognition of CD1a by the TCR represents a previously unknown
mechanism whereby αβ T cells indirectly sense self antigens that are bound to
an antigen-presenting molecule.
