T cell receptor (TCR) binding degeneracy lies at the heart of several, physiological and pathological phenomena, yet its structural basis is, poorly understood. We determined the crystal structure of a complex, involving the BM3.3 TCR and an octapeptide (VSV8) bound to the H-2K(b), major histocompatibility complex molecule at a 2.7 A resolution, and, compared it with the BM3.3 TCR bound to the H-2K(b) molecule loaded with a, peptide that has no primary sequence identity with VSV8. Comparison of, these structures showed that the BM3.3 TCR complementarity-determining, region (CDR) 3alpha could undergo rearrangements to adapt to structurally, different peptide residues. Therefore, CDR3 loop flexibility helps explain, TCR binding cross-reactivity.
