HostingRepository: PRIDE
Species: Homo sapiens
Title: The resting and ligand-bound states of the membrane-embedded human T-cell receptor–CD3 complex
Submitter: henrik molina
LabHead: Thomas Walz
Description: The T-cell receptor (TCR) initiates T-lymphocyte activation, but the mechanism of TCR activation remains uncertain. Here, we present cryogenic electron microscopy structures for the unliganded and human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-bound human TCR–CD3 complex in nanodiscs that provide a native-like lipid environment. Distinct from the “open and extended” conformation seen in detergent, the unliganded TCR–CD3 in nanodiscs adopts two related “closed and compacted” conformations that represent its physiologic resting state in vivo. By contrast, the HLA-bound complex adopts the open and extended conformation, and conformation-locking disulfide mutants show that ectodomain opening is necessary for maximal ligand-dependent T-cell activation. These structures also reveal conformation-dependent protein–lipid and glycan–glycan interactions within the TCR. Together, these results establish allosteric conformational change during TCR activation, reveal avenues for immuno
therapeutic engineering, and highlight the importance of native- like lipid environments for membrane protein structure determination.
