Structural highlights
FunctionBT3A1_HUMAN Plays a role in T-cell activation and in the adaptive immune response. Regulates the proliferation of activated T-cells. Regulates the release of cytokines and IFNG by activated T-cells. Mediates the response of T-cells toward infected and transformed cells that are characterized by high levels of phosphorylated metabolites, such as isopentenyl pyrophosphate.[1] [2] [3] [4] Publication Abstract from PubMedHuman Vgamma9Vdelta2 T cells respond to microbial infections and malignancy by sensing diphosphate-containing metabolites called phosphoantigens, which bind to the intracellular domain of butyrophilin 3A1, triggering extracellular interactions with the Vgamma9Vdelta2 T cell receptor (TCR). Here, we examined the molecular basis of this "inside-out" triggering mechanism. Crystal structures of intracellular butyrophilin 3A proteins alone or in complex with the potent microbial phosphoantigen HMBPP or a synthetic analog revealed key features of phosphoantigens and butyrophilins required for gammadelta T cell activation. Analyses with chemical probes and molecular dynamic simulations demonstrated that dimerized intracellular proteins cooperate in sensing HMBPP to enhance the efficiency of gammadelta T cell activation. HMBPP binding to butyrophilin doubled the binding force between a gammadelta T cell and a target cell during "outside" signaling, as measured by single-cell force microscopy. Our findings provide insight into the "inside-out" triggering of Vgamma9Vdelta2 T cell activation by phosphoantigen-bound butyrophilin, facilitating immunotherapeutic drug design.
