CD2 is a T cell surface molecule that enhances T and natural killer cell function by binding its ligands CD58 (humans) and CD48 (rodents) on antigen-presenting or target cells. Here we show that the CD2/CD58 interaction is enthalpically driven and accompanied by unfavorable entropic changes. Taken together with structural studies, this indicates that binding is accompanied by energetically significant conformational adjustments. Despite having a highly charged binding interface, neither the affinity nor the rate constants of the CD2/CD58 interaction were affected by changes in ionic strength, indicating that long-range electrostatic forces make no net contribution to binding.
CD2是一种T细胞表面分子,它通过与抗原呈递细胞或靶细胞上的配体CD58(人类)和CD48(啮齿动物)结合来增强T细胞和自然杀伤细胞的功能。我们在此表明,CD2/CD58相互作用是由焓驱动的,并且伴随着不利的熵变。结合结构研究,这表明结合伴随着能量上显著的构象调整。尽管具有高电荷的结合界面,但CD2/CD58相互作用的亲和力和速率常数均不受离子强度变化的影响,这表明长程静电力对结合没有净贡献。
