An allosteric site in the T-cell receptor Cβ domain plays a critical signalling role

Binding of T cell receptors (TCR) to peptide-loaded major histocompatibility complexes (p/MHC) leads to T-cell activation. Here the authors give structural insights into T-cell signalling and show that p/MHC binding induces conformational changes at the membrane-proximal site of the TCR.
