Peptide-centric chimeric antigen receptors (PC-CARs) recognize oncoprotein epitopes displayed by cell-surface human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) and offer a promising strategy for targeted cancer therapy. We have previously developed a PC-CAR targeting a neuroblastoma-associated PHOX2B peptide, leading to robust tumor cell lysis restricted by two common HLA allotypes. Here, we determine the 2.1-angstrom crystal structure of the PC-CAR–PHOX2B–HLA-A*24:02–β2m complex, which reveals the basis for antigen-specific recognition through interactions with CAR complementarity-determining regions (CDRs). This PC-CAR adopts a diagonal docking mode, where interactions with both conserved and polymorphic HLA framework residues permit recognition of multiple HLA allotypes from the A9 serological cross-reactive group, covering a combined global population frequency of up to 46.7%. Biochemical binding assays, molecular dynamics simulations, and structural and functional analyses demonstrate that high-affinity PC-CAR recognition of cross-reactive pHLAs necessitates the presentation of a specific peptide backbone, where subtle structural adaptations of the peptide are critical for high-affinity complex formation, and CAR T cell killing. Our results provide a molecular blueprint for engineering CARs with optimal recognition of tumor-associated antigens in the context of different HLAs, while minimizing cross-reactivity with self-epitopes. Editor's summary: T cells engineered with peptide-centric chimeric antigen receptors (PC-CARs) can recognize normally inaccessible tumor antigens once they have been degraded into peptides and presented on the cell surface by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules. Sun et al. resolved a 2.1-Å crystal structure of a recently developed PC-CAR (10LH) designed to target an oncoprotein-derived peptide (PHOX2B) up-regulated in neuroblastoma. The structure of 10LH complexed with PHOX2B, HLA-A*24:02, and β-2 microglobulin (β2m) reveals that it adopts a diagonal binding mode interacting with both conserved and polymorphic elements of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) framework, allowing 10LH to recognize various HLA allotypes from the A9 serological cross-reactive group. These insights may aid in the development of future CARs that optimally recognize tumor-derived antigens presented by a variety of HLAs with minimal cross-reactivity. —Seth Thomas Scanlon [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
