In mouse T cells, endogenous, nonstimulatory peptides have been shown to enhance responses to specific peptide antigens, a phenomenon termed coagonism. However, whether coagonism also occurs in human T cells is unclear, and the molecular mechanism of coagonism is still under debate since CD4 and CD8 coagonism requires different interactions. Here we show that the nonstimulatory, HIV-derived peptide GAG enhances a specific human cytotoxic T lymphocyte response to HBV-derived epitopes presented by HLA-A 02:01. Coagonism in human T cells requires the CD8 coreceptor, but not T-cell receptor (TCR) binding to the nonstimulatory peptide-MHC. Coagonists enhance the phosphorylation and recruitment of several molecules involved in the TCR-proximal signaling pathway, suggesting that coagonists promote T-cell responses to antigenic pMHC by amplifying TCR-proximal signaling. © 2018 The Author(s). | Source Title: | Nature Communications | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/152565 | ISSN: | 20411723 | DOI: | 10.1038/s41467-018-05288-0 |
