Height, but not binding epitope, affects the potency of synthetic TCR agonists

Abstract: Under physiological conditions, peptide-MHC (pMHC) molecules can trigger T-cell receptors (TCRs) as monovalent ligands, sparsely distributed on the plasma membrane of an antigen-presenting cell. TCR can also be activated by artificial clustering, such as with pMHC tetramers or antibodies; however, these strategies circumvent many of the natural ligand discrimination mechanisms of the T cell and can elicit non-physiological signaling activity. We have recently introduced a synthetic TCR agonist composed of an a… Show more

“…Spatial reorganization of proteins at the cell-cell interface serves as an important principle in understanding receptor activation (14,15). This is illustrated by the "kinetic segregation" model, in which T cell receptor (TCR)-peptide major histocompatibility complex (pMHC) interactions exclude a bulky phosphatase CD45 away from the TCR, leading to TCR phosphorylation by the kinase Lck (12,(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). A similar size-dependent spatial segregation is found in the phagocytic receptor (21,22), immunoglobulin E (IgE) receptor (23), and Notch receptor signaling (24).…”
