Phosphoantigens are Molecular Glues that Promote Butyrophilin 3A1/2A1 Association Leading to Vγ9Vδ2 T Cell Activation
2022-01-03
Abstract excerpt
Tumor cells and pathogen-infected cells are presented to human γδ T cells based on “inside-out” signaling in which metabolites called phosphoantigens (pAgs) inside target cells are recognized by the intracellular domain of a butyrophilin protein (BTN3A1), leading to an extracellular conformational change. Here, we report that pAgs function as molecular “glues” that initiate a heteromeric association between the in...
