Publication Abstract from PubMed T-cell therapies based on chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) targeting of a tumor-specific antigen offer hope for patients with relapsed or refractory cancers. CAR hinge and transmembrane regions link antigen recognition domains to intracellular signal transduction domains. Here, we apply biophysical methods to characterize the structure and dynamic properties of the CD28 CAR hinge (CD28H) used in an FDA-approved CD19 CAR for the treatment of B-lineage leukemia/lymphoma. By using nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (NOESY), which detects even transiently occupied structural motifs, we observed otherwise elusive local structural elements amidst overall disorder in CD28H, including a conformational switch from a native beta-strand to a 3(10)-helix and polyproline II helix-like structure. These local structural motifs contribute to an overall loosely formed extended geometry that could be captured by NOESY data. All FDA-approved CARs use prolines in the hinge region, which we find in CD28, and previously in CD8alpha, isomerize to promote structural plasticity and dynamics. These local structural elements may function in recognition and signaling events and constrain the spacing between the transmembrane and antigen recognition domains. Our study thus demonstrates a method for detecting local and transient structure within intrinsically disordered systems and moreover, our CD28H findings may inform future CAR design.
