Structural Features of the αβTCR Mechanotransduction Apparatus That Promote pMHC Discrimination

The αβTCR was recently revealed to function as a mechanoreceptor. That is, it leverages mechanical energy generated during immune surveillance and at the immunological synapse to drive biochemical signaling following ligation by a specific foreign peptide–MHC complex (pMHC). Here, we review the stru...
