Dynamic allostery in the peptide/MHC complex enables TCR neoantigen selectivity by Jiaqi Ma, Cory M. Ayres, Chad A. Brambley, Smita S. Chandran, Tatiana J. Rosales, W. W. J. Gihan Perera, Bassant Eldaly, William T. Murray, Steven A. Corcelli, Evgenii L. Kovrigin, Christopher A. Klebanoff, Brian M. Baker

“…These motions create a dynamic gate that, in the presence of the WT peptide, impedes a large conformational change required for TCR binding. The neoantigen is insusceptible to this limiting dynamic, and, with the gate open, upon TCR binding the central tryptophan can transit underneath the peptide backbone to the opposing side of the HLA-A3 peptide binding groove. …”
