摘要: Recent evidence indicates that CD4 stably binds to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II only after assuming an oligomeric state: the membrane-distal D1-D2 module interacts directly with MHC II, whereas membrane-proximal D3-D4 mediates oligomerization. This results in formation of aggregates critical for T-cell activation. The receptor (TCR) regulates specific crosslinking and is itself dependent on lattice trigger physiological responses. Here, Toshiko Sakihama, Alex Smolyar Ellis Reinherz discuss molecular nature CD4-MHC clustering how, despite each component interactions being low affinity, matrix renders recognition extremely sensitive.
