== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Gamma delta (gammadelta) T cells, a unique T cell subgroup, are crucial in various immune responses and immunopathology(1-3). The gammadelta T cell receptor (TCR), generated by gammadelta T cells, recognizes a diverse range of antigens independently of the major histocompatibility complex(2). The gammadelta TCR associates with CD3 subunits, initiating T cell activation and holding great potential in immunotherapy(4). Here, we report the structures of two prototypical human Vgamma9Vdelta2 and Vgamma5Vdelta1 TCR-CD3 complexes(5,6), unveiling two distinct assembly mechanisms that depend on Vgamma usage. The Vgamma9Vdelta2 TCR-CD3 complex is monomeric, with considerable conformational flexibility in the TCRgamma/TCRdelta extracellular domain (ECD) and connecting peptides (CPs). The length of CPs regulates the ligand association and T cell activation. Additionally, a cholesterol-like molecule wedges into the transmembrane region, exerting an inhibitory role in TCR signaling. The Vgamma5Vdelta1 TCR-CD3 complex displays a dimeric architecture, where two protomers nestle back-to-back via their Vgamma5 domains of TCR ECDs. Our biochemical and biophysical assays further corroborate the dimeric structure. Importantly, the dimeric form of the Vgamma5Vdelta1 TCR is essential for T cell activation. These findings reveal organizing principles of the gammadelta TCR-CD3 complex, providing insights into the gammadelta TCR unique properties and facilitating immunotherapeutic interventions.
