We have previously developed a PC-CAR targeting a neuroblastoma-associated PHOX2B peptide, leading to robust tumor cell lysis restricted by two common HLA allotypes. Here, we determine the 2.1-angstrom crystal structure of the PC-CAR-PHOX2B-HLA-A*24:02-beta(2)m complex, which reveals the basis for antigen-specific recognition through interactions with CAR complementarity-determining regions (CDRs). This PC-CAR adopts a diagonal docking mode, where interactions with both conserved and polymorphic HLA framework residues permit recognition of multiple HLA allotypes from the A9 serological cross-reactive group, covering a combined global population frequency of up to 46.7%. Biochemical binding assays, molecular dynamics simulations, and structural and functional analyses demonstrate that high-affinity PC-CAR recognition of cross-reactive pHLAs necessitates the presentation of a specific peptide backbone, where subtle structural adaptations of the peptide are critical for high-affinity complex formation, and CAR T cell killing. Our results provide a molecular blueprint for engineering CARs with optimal recognition of tumor-associated antigens in the context of different HLAs, while minimizing cross-reactivity with self-epitopes.
