Most CD1d-dependent NKT cells in mice have a canonical V
14J
18
TCR rearrangement. However, relatively little is known concerning the
molecular basis for their reactivity to glycolipid Ags presented by
CD1d. Using glycolipid Ags, soluble forms of a V
14 NKT cell-derived
TCR, and mutant and wild-type CD1d molecules, we probed the TCR/CD1d
interaction by surface plasmon resonance, tetramer equilibrium
staining, and tetramer staining decay experiments. By these methods,
several CD1d
-helical amino acids could be defined that do not
greatly alter lipid binding, but that affect the interaction with the
TCR. Binding of the V
14+ TCR to CD1d requires the
agonist
-galactosylceramide (
-GalCer), as opposed to the
nonantigenic
-galactosylceramide, although both Ags bind to CD1d,
indicating that the carbohydrate moiety of the CD1d-bound Ag plays a
major role in the TCR interaction. The TCR has a relatively
high-affinity binding to the
-GalCer/CD1d complex, with a
particularly slow off rate. These unique properties are consistent with
the coreceptor-independent action of the V
14 TCR and may be related
to the intense response to
-GalCer by NKT cells in
vivo.
