Affected individuals show marked reduction in serum concentrations of immunoglobulin and albumin, probably due to rapid degradation. Note=Beta-2-microglobulin may adopt the fibrillar configuration of amyloid in certain pathologic states. The capacity to assemble into amyloid fibrils is concentration dependent. Persistently high beta(2)-microglobulin serum levels lead to amyloidosis in patients on long-term hemodialysis. Function B2MG_HUMAN Component of the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Involved in the presentation of peptide antigens to the immune system. Publication Abstract from PubMed While the Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I (MHC-I) molecules typically bind short peptide (p) fragments (8-10 amino acids in length), longer, bulged, peptides are often be presented by MHC-I. Such bulged pMHC-I complexes represent challenges for T-cell receptor (TCR) ligation, although the general principles underscoring the interaction between TCRs and bulged pMHC-I complexes are unclear. To address this, we have explored the energetic basis of how an immunodominant TCR (termed SB27) binds to a 13 amino acid viral peptide (LPEPLPQGQLTAY) complexed to Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) B*3508. Using the crystal structure of the SB27 TCR-HLA B*3508LPEP complex as a guide, we undertook a comprehensive alanine-scanning mutagenesis approach at the TCR-pMHC-I interface and examined the effect of the mutations by biophysical (affinity measurements) and cellular approaches (tetramer staining). While the structural footprint on the HLA B*3508 was small, the energetic footprint was even smaller in that only two HLA B*3508 residues were critical for the TCR interaction. Instead, the energetic basis of this TCR-pMHC-I interaction was attributed to peptide-mediated interactions in which the complementarity determining region (CDR) 3alpha and germline encoded CDR1beta loops of the SB27 TCR played the principal role. Our findings highlight the peptide-centricity of TCR ligation towards a bulged pMHC-I complex.
