Human CD1c with ligands in A' and F' channel
Structural highlights
FunctionCD1C_HUMAN Antigen-presenting protein that binds self and non-self lipid and glycolipid antigens and presents them to T-cell receptors on natural killer T-cells.[1] [2] [3] [4] CD1B_HUMAN Antigen-presenting protein that binds self and non-self lipid and glycolipid antigens and presents them to T-cell receptors on natural killer T-cells.[5] [6] Publication Abstract from PubMedCluster of differentiation 1c (CD1c)-dependent self-reactive T cells are abundant in human blood, but self-antigens presented by CD1c to the T-cell receptors of these cells are poorly understood. Here we present a crystal structure of CD1c determined at 2.4 A revealing an extended ligand binding potential of the antigen groove and a substantially different conformation compared with known CD1c structures. Computational simulations exploring different occupancy states of the groove reenacted these different CD1c conformations and suggested cholesteryl esters (CE) and acylated steryl glycosides (ASG) as new ligand classes for CD1c. Confirming this, we show that binding of CE and ASG to CD1c enables the binding of human CD1c self-reactive T-cell receptors. Hence, human CD1c adopts different conformations dependent on ligand occupancy of its groove, with CE and ASG stabilizing CD1c conformations that provide a footprint for binding of CD1c self-reactive T-cell receptors. Cholesteryl esters stabilize human CD1c conformations for recognition by self-reactive T cells.,Mansour S, Tocheva AS, Cave-Ayland C, Machelett MM, Sander B, Lissin NM, Molloy PE, Baird MS, Stubs G, Schroder NW, Schumann RR, Rademann J, Postle AD, Jakobsen BK, Marshall BG, Gosain R, Elkington PT, Elliott T, Skylaris CK, Essex JW, Tews I, Gadola SD Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2016 Feb 16. pii: 201519246.
