美國哈佛醫學院Stephen C. Blacklow和Andrew C. Kruse研究組合作在研究中取得進展。他們解析了與四跨膜蛋白CD81結合的B細胞共受體CD19的冷凍電鏡(cryo-EM)結構。該項研究成果發表在2021年1月15日出版的《科學》雜誌上。
他們報導了一個3.8埃CD19-CD81複合物與治療性抗原結合片段的結合的cryo-EM結構。 該結構既包括複合物的細胞外結構域,又包括跨膜螺旋,揭示了驅動複合物形成的胞外域之間的接觸界面。與CD19結合後,CD81打開其胞外域以暴露疏水性CD19結合表面,並重新組織其跨膜螺旋,以封閉載脂蛋白中存在的膽固醇結合口袋。
他們的數據揭示了CD19-CD81複合物裝配的結構基礎,為合理設計B細胞功能障礙的療法提供了基礎。
研究人員表示,通過CD19-CD81共受體複合物與B細胞受體的信號傳遞,是B細胞發育和激活的關鍵決定因素。尚不知道CD81如何與CD19結合以實現共受體功能。

Abstract: Signaling through the CD19-CD81 co-receptor complex, in combination with the B cell receptor, is a critical determinant of B cell development and activation. It is unknown how CD81 engages CD19 to enable co-receptor function. Here, we report a 3.8-angstrom structure of the CD19-CD81 complex bound to a therapeutic antigen-binding fragment, determined by cryo–electron microscopy (cryo-EM). The structure includes both the extracellular domains and the transmembrane helices of the complex, revealing a contact interface between the ectodomains that drives complex formation. Upon binding to CD19, CD81 opens its ectodomain to expose a hydrophobic CD19-binding surface and reorganizes its transmembrane helices to occlude a cholesterol binding pocket present in the apoprotein. Our data reveal the structural basis for CD19-CD81 complex assembly, providing a foundation for rational design of therapies for B cell dysfunction.
