== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/HMR1_HUMAN HMR1_HUMAN] Has antigen presentation function. Involved in the development and expansion of a small population of T-cells expressing an invariant T-cell receptor alpha chain called mucosal-associated invariant T-cells (MAIT). MAIT cells are preferentially located in the gut lamina propria and therefore may be involved in monitoring commensal flora or serve as a distress signal. Expression and MAIT cell recognition seem to be ligand-dependent.<ref>PMID:12794138</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are activated by microbial riboflavin-based metabolite antigens when presented by MR1. How modifications to the potent antigen 5-OP-RU affect presentation by MR1 and MAIT cell activation remains unclear. Here we design 20 derivatives, termed altered metabolite ligands (AMLs), to dissect the impact of different antigen components on the human MAIT-MR1 axis. Analysis of 11 crystal structures of MAIT T cell antigen receptor (TCR)-MR1-AML ternary complexes, along with biochemical and functional assays, shows that MR1 cell-surface upregulation is influenced by ribityl and non-ribityl components of the ligand and the hydrophobicity of the MR1-AML interface. The polar ribityl chain of the AML strongly influences MAIT cell activation potency through dynamic compensatory interactions within a MAIT TCR-MR1-AML interaction triad. We define the basis by which the MAIT TCR can differentially recognize AMLs, thereby providing insight into MAIT cell antigen specificity and potency.
