Peptides of endogenous proteins
(virus, tumor) bind to class I MHC
molecules
Peptides of exogenous proteins (toxin,
bacteria, allergen) bind to class II MHC
molecules
The number of different T cell antigen receptors
is estimated to be
1,000,000,000,000,000 (1015 - 17)
How can 6 invariant molecules have the capacity to
bind to 1,000,000,000,000,000 different peptides?
A flexible binding site?
A binding site that is flexible enough to bind any peptide?
At the cell surface, such a binding site would be unable to
• allow a high enough binding affinity to form a trimolecular
complex with the T cell antigen receptor
• prevent exchange of the peptide with others in the extracellular milieu
A flexible binding site?
A binding site that is flexible at an early, intracellular stage of maturation
formed by folding the MHC molecules around the peptide.
Venus fly trap
Floppy
Compact
Allows a single type of MHC molecule to
• bind many different peptides
• bind peptides with high affinity
• form stable complexes at the cell surface
• Export only molecules that have captured a
peptide to the cell surface
MHC molecules
• Adopt a flexible “floppy” conformation until a peptide binds
• Fold around the peptide to increase stability of the complex
•The captured peptides contribute to the stabilization of the
complex
• Use a small number of anchor residues to tether the peptide
- this allows different sequences between anchors
and different lengths of peptides
