Crucial Role of TCR{gamma} Chain Junctional Region in Prenyl Pyrophosphate Antigen Recognition by {gamma}{delta} T Cells1

Human {gamma}{delta} T cells recognize prenyl pyrophosphate Ags and their analogues in a V{gamma}2V{delta}2 TCR-dependent manner. Few data are available regarding the TCR structural requirements for recognition of such prenyl pyrophosphate Ags by {gamma}{delta} T cells. Presently, we made chain pair switch, chimeric, and site mutant {gamma}{delta} TCRs and transfected them into TCR- mutant Jurkat T cells to examine the effects of changing the TCR{gamma} junctional region sequences on reactivity to prenyl pyrophosphate Ags. Substitution of the TCR{gamma} junctional region (N and J) sequences from an Ag-reactive TCR with TCR{gamma} junctional region sequences from an Ag-nonreactive TCR abrogated reactivity to the prenyl pyrophosphate Ag isopentenyl pyrophosphate and to its synthetic analogue ethyl pyrophosphate but not to a mycobacterial supernatant containing a mixture of prenyl pyrophosphate Ags. Substitution of only the TCR{gamma} N nucleotide region with that from this Ag-nonreactive TCR destroyed reactivity to isopentenyl pyrophosphate and to the mycobacterial supernatant. Substitution of the entire V{delta}2 chain from the Ag-reactive TCR with a V{delta}1 chain from an Ag-nonreactive TCR yielded a prenyl pyrophosphate Ag-nonreactive TCR. Thus, using TCR mutagenesis and TCR transfectants, we show that {gamma}{delta} TCR reactivity to prenyl pyrophosphate Ags is dependent upon the junctional region of the TCR{gamma} chain and upon pairing of V{gamma}2 and V{delta}2 TCR chains. These structural requirements of TCR{gamma}{delta} recognition of prenyl pyrophosphates distinguish this reactivity from that of protein superantigens and emphasize the importance of the TCR{gamma} CDR3 loop and adjacent residues.
