49	54	human	species	Here, we studied multiligand discrimination by a human, preproinsulin reactive, MHC class-I–restricted CD8+ T cell clone (1E6) that can recognize over 1 million different peptides.	ABSTRACT
56	69	preproinsulin	protein	Here, we studied multiligand discrimination by a human, preproinsulin reactive, MHC class-I–restricted CD8+ T cell clone (1E6) that can recognize over 1 million different peptides.	ABSTRACT
80	83	MHC	complex_assembly	Here, we studied multiligand discrimination by a human, preproinsulin reactive, MHC class-I–restricted CD8+ T cell clone (1E6) that can recognize over 1 million different peptides.	ABSTRACT
29	39	structures	evidence	We generated high-resolution structures of the 1E6 TCR bound to 7 altered peptide ligands, including a pathogen-derived peptide that was an order of magnitude more potent than the natural self-peptide.	ABSTRACT
47	54	1E6 TCR	complex_assembly	We generated high-resolution structures of the 1E6 TCR bound to 7 altered peptide ligands, including a pathogen-derived peptide that was an order of magnitude more potent than the natural self-peptide.	ABSTRACT
55	63	bound to	protein_state	We generated high-resolution structures of the 1E6 TCR bound to 7 altered peptide ligands, including a pathogen-derived peptide that was an order of magnitude more potent than the natural self-peptide.	ABSTRACT
66	89	altered peptide ligands	chemical	We generated high-resolution structures of the 1E6 TCR bound to 7 altered peptide ligands, including a pathogen-derived peptide that was an order of magnitude more potent than the natural self-peptide.	ABSTRACT
20	30	structures	evidence	Evaluation of these structures demonstrated that binding was stabilized through a conserved lock-and-key–like minimal binding footprint that enables 1E6 TCR to tolerate vast numbers of substitutions outside of this so-called hotspot.	ABSTRACT
149	156	1E6 TCR	complex_assembly	Evaluation of these structures demonstrated that binding was stabilized through a conserved lock-and-key–like minimal binding footprint that enables 1E6 TCR to tolerate vast numbers of substitutions outside of this so-called hotspot.	ABSTRACT
30	37	1E6 TCR	complex_assembly	Highly potent antigens of the 1E6 TCR engaged with a strong antipathogen-like binding affinity; this engagement was governed though an energetic switch from an enthalpically to entropically driven interaction compared with the natural autoimmune ligand.	ABSTRACT
60	94	antipathogen-like binding affinity	evidence	Highly potent antigens of the 1E6 TCR engaged with a strong antipathogen-like binding affinity; this engagement was governed though an energetic switch from an enthalpically to entropically driven interaction compared with the natural autoimmune ligand.	ABSTRACT
150	174	major histocompatibility	complex_assembly	T cells perform an essential role in adaptive immunity by interrogating the host proteome for anomalies, classically by recognizing peptides bound in major histocompatibility (MHC) molecules at the cell surface.	INTRO
176	179	MHC	complex_assembly	T cells perform an essential role in adaptive immunity by interrogating the host proteome for anomalies, classically by recognizing peptides bound in major histocompatibility (MHC) molecules at the cell surface.	INTRO
64	79	highly variable	protein_state	Recent data supports the notion that, to perform this role, the highly variable αβ T cell antigen receptor (TCR) must be able to recognize thousands, if not millions, of different peptide ligands.	INTRO
80	106	αβ T cell antigen receptor	complex_assembly	Recent data supports the notion that, to perform this role, the highly variable αβ T cell antigen receptor (TCR) must be able to recognize thousands, if not millions, of different peptide ligands.	INTRO
108	111	TCR	complex_assembly	Recent data supports the notion that, to perform this role, the highly variable αβ T cell antigen receptor (TCR) must be able to recognize thousands, if not millions, of different peptide ligands.	INTRO
69	73	TCRs	complex_assembly	This ability is required to enable the estimated 25 million distinct TCRs expressed in humans to provide effective immune coverage against all possible foreign peptide antigens.	INTRO
