STRUCTURE AND BINDING KINETICS OF THREE DIFFERENT HUMAN CD1D-ALPHA-GALACTOSYLCERAMIDE SPECIFIC T CELL RECEPTORS-INKT-TCR
OverviewOverview
Invariant human TCR Valpha24-Jalpha18+/Vbeta11+ NKT cells (iNKT) are, restricted by CD1d-alpha-glycosylceramides. We analyzed crystal structures, and binding characteristics for an iNKT TCR plus two, CD1d-alpha-GalCer-specific Vbeta11+ TCRs that use different TCR Valpha, chains. The results were similar to those previously reported for, MHC-peptide-specific TCRs, illustrating the versatility of the TCR, platform. Docking TCR and CD1d-alpha-GalCer structures provided plausible, insights into their interaction. The model supports a diagonal orientation, of TCR on CD1d and suggests that complementarity determining region, (CDR)3alpha, CDR3beta, and CDR1beta interact with ligands presented by, CD1d, whereas CDR2beta binds to the CD1d alpha1 helix. This docking, provides an explanation for the dominant usage of Vbeta11 and Vbeta8.2, chains by human and mouse iNKT cells, respectively, for recognition of, CD1d-alpha-GalCer.
