From the a Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138, the c MRC Human Immunology Unit, Institute of Molecular Medicine, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford OX3 9DS, United Kingdom, the d Nuffield Department of Clinical Medicine, John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford OX3 9DS, United Kingdom, the f Division of Structural Biology, Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics, Roosevelt Drive, Oxford OX3 7BN United Kingdom, and the i Sir William Dunn School of Pathology, University of Oxford, Oxford OX1 3RE, United Kingdom

The cell surface molecules CD4 and CD8 greatly enhance the sensitivity of T-cell antigen recognition, acting as "co-receptors" by binding to the same major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules as the T-cell receptor (TCR). Here we use surface plasmon resonance to study the binding of CD8alpha alpha to class I MHC molecules. CD8alpha alpha bound the classical MHC molecules HLA-A*0201, -A*1101, -B*3501, and -C*0702 with dissociation constants (Kd) of 90-220 µM, a range of affinities distinctly lower than that of TCR/peptide-MHC interaction. We suggest such affinities apply to most CD8alpha alpha /classical class I MHC interactions and may be optimal for T-cell recognition. In contrast, CD8alpha alpha bound both HLA-A*6801 and B*4801 with a significantly lower affinity (>= 1 mM), consistent with the finding that interactions with these alleles are unable to mediate cell-cell adhesion. Interestingly, CD8alpha alpha bound normally to the nonclassical MHC molecule HLA-G (Kd ~150 µM), but only weakly to the natural killer cell receptor ligand HLA-E (Kd >=  1 mM). Site-directed mutagenesis experiments revealed that variation in CD8alpha alpha binding affinity can be explained by amino acid differences within the alpha 3 domain. Taken together with crystallographic studies, these results indicate that subtle conformational changes in the solvent exposed alpha 3 domain loop (residues 223-229) can account for the differential ability of both classical and nonclassical class I MHC molecules to bind CD8.
