摘要

αβ T cell receptors (TCR) co-recognise peptide (p) antigens that are presented by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. While marked variations in TCR-p-MHC docking topologies have been observed from structural studies, the co-recognition paradigm has held fast. Using HLA-DQ2.5-peptide tetramers, here we identify a TRAV12-1+-TRBV5-1+ G9 TCR from human peripheral blood that binds HLA-DQ2.5 in a peptide-agnostic manner. The crystal structures of TCR-HLA-DQ2.5-peptide complexes show that the G9 TCR binds HLA-DQ2.5 in a reversed docking topology without contacting the peptide, with the TCR contacting the β1 region of HLA-DQ2.5 and distal from the peptide antigen binding cleft. High-throughput screening of HLA class I and II molecules finds the G9 TCR to be pan-HLA-DQ2 reactive, with leucine-55 of HLA-DQ2.5 being a key determinant underpinning G9 TCR specificity excluding other HLA-II allomorphs. Consistent with the functional assays, the interactions of the G9 TCR and HLA-DQ2.5 precludes CD4 binding, thereby impeding T cell activation. Collectively, we describe a naturally selected αβTCR from human peripheral blood that deviates from the TCR-p-MHC co-recognition paradigm.
