    Abstract Nsp9 is a conserved accessory component of the coronaviral replication and transcription complex. It is the predominant substrate of nsp12's nucleotidylation activity while also serving to recruit proteins required for viral 5'-capping. Anti-nsp9 specific nanobodies have been isolated previously. We confirm that their binding mode is centred upon Trp-53 within SARS-CoV-2 nsp9. Antibody binding at this site surprisingly results in large-scale changes to the overall topology of this coronaviral unique fold. We further characterise the antibody-induced structural dynamism within nsp9, identifying a number of potentially flexible regions. A large expansion of the cavity between the s2-s3 and s4-s5 loops is particularly noteworthy. As is the potential for large-scale movements in the C-terminal GxxxG helix.

    Abstract Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease characterized by hyperproliferative epidermal lesions infiltrated by autoreactive T cells. Individuals expressing the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) C∗06:02 allele are at highest risk for developing psoriasis. An autoreactive T cell clone (termed Vα3S1/Vβ13S1) isolated from psoriatic plaques is selective for HLA-C∗06:02, presenting a peptide derived from the melanocyte-specific autoantigen ADAMTSL5 (VRSRRCLRL). Here we determine the crystal structure of this psoriatic TCR-HLA-C∗06:02 ADAMTSL5 complex with a stabilized peptide. Docking of the TCR involves an extensive complementary charge network formed between negatively charged TCR residues interleaving with exposed arginine residues from the self-peptide and the HLA-C∗06:02 α1 helix. We probed these interactions through mutagenesis and activation assays. The charged interface spans the polymorphic region of the C1/C2 HLA group. Notably the peptide-binding groove of HLA-C∗06:02 appears exquisitely suited for presenting highly charged Arg-rich epitopes recognized by this acidic psoriatic TCR. Overall, we provide a structural basis for understanding the engagement of melanocyte antigen-presenting cells by a TCR implicated in psoriasis while simultaneously expanding our knowledge of how TCRs engage HLA-C.
