Research on T cell immunology in the Ursidae family, especially structural immunology, is still lacking. In this study, the structure of the key trimolecular complex pMHC-I, which binds a peptide from canine distemper virus, was solved for the first time using giant panda as a representative species of Ursidae. The structural characteristics of the giant panda pMHC-I complex (pAime-128), including the unique pockets in the peptide-binding groove (PBG), were analyzed in detail. Comparing the pAime-128 to others in the bear family and extending the comparison to other mammals revealed distinct features. The interaction between MHC-I and beta2m, the features of pAime-128 involved in TCR docking and cluster of differentiation 8 (CD8) binding, the anchor sites in the PBG, and the CTL epitopes of potential viruses that infect pandas were clarified. Unique features of pMHC-I viral antigen presentation in the panda were revealed by solving the three-dimensional (3D) structure of pAime-128. The distinct characteristics of pAime-128 indicate an unusual event that emerged during the evolution of the MHC system in the bear family. These results provide a new platform for research on panda CTL immunity and the design of vaccines for application in the bear family.
