EBV is a ubiquitous and persistent human pathogen, kept in check by the cytotoxic T cell response. In this study, we investigated how three TCRs, which differ in their T cell immunodominance hierarchies and gene usage, interact with the same EBV determinant (FLRGRAYGL), bound to the same Ag-presenting molecule, HLA-B8. We found that the three TCRs exhibit differing fine specificities for the viral Ag. Further, via structural and biophysical approaches, we demonstrated that the viral Ag provides the greatest energetic contribution to the TCR-peptide-HLA interaction, while focusing on a few adjacent HLA-based interactions to further tune fine-specificity requirements. Thus, the TCR engages the peptide-HLA with the viral Ag as the main glue, such that neighboring TCR-MHC interactions are recruited as a supportive adhesive. Collectively, we provide a portrait of how the host's adaptive immune response differentially engages a common viral Ag.

Data provenance

MHC:peptide complexes are visualised using PyMol. The peptide is superimposed on a consistent cutaway slice of the MHC binding cleft (displayed as a grey mesh) which best indicates the binding pockets for the P1/P5/PC positions (side view - pockets A, E, F) and for the P2/P3/PC-2 positions (top view - pockets B, C, D). In some cases peptides will use a different pocket for a specific peptide position (atypical anchoring). On some structures the peptide may appear to sterically clash with a pocket. This is an artefact of picking a standardised slice of the cleft and overlaying the peptide.

Data provenance

Neighbours are calculated by finding residues with atoms within 5Å of each other using BioPython Neighboursearch module. The list of neighbours is then sorted and filtered to inlcude only neighbours where between the peptide and the MHC Class I alpha chain.

Data provenance

N-/C-terminus and peptide backbone binding residues are assigned according to previously published information and pockets are assigned according to an adaptation of a previously published set of residues. All numbering is currently that of the 'canonical' structures of human and mouse MHC Class I molecules.

Data provenance

Sequences are retrieved via the Uniprot method of the RSCB REST API. Sequences are then compared to those derived from the PDB file and matched against sequences retrieved from the IPD-IMGT/HLA database for human sequences, or the IPD-MHC database for other species. Mouse sequences are matched against FASTA files from Uniprot. Sequences for the mature extracellular protein (signal petide and cytoplasmic tail removed) are compared to identical length sequences from the datasources mentioned before using either exact matching or Levenshtein distance based matching.
