Crystal Structure of CD3gammaepsilon Heterodimer in Complex with OKT3 Fab Fragment
OverviewOverview
The CD3 epsilon gamma heterodimer is essential for expression and function, of the T cell receptor. The crystal structure of the human CD3 epsilon, gamma heterodimer is described to 2.1-A resolution complexed with OKT3, a, therapeutic mAb that not only activates and tolerizes mature T cells but, also induces regulatory T cells. The mode of CD3 epsilon gamma, dimerization provides a general structural basis for CD3 assembly and maps, candidate T cell antigen receptor docking sites, including a duplicated, linear region rich in acidic residues that is unique to human CD3 epsilon., OKT3 binds to an atypically small area of CD3 epsilon and has a low, affinity for the isolated CD3 epsilon gamma heterodimer. The structure of, the OKT3/CD3 epsilon gamma complex has implications for T cell signaling, and therapeutic design.
