The CTLA-4 and PD-1 checkpoints control immune responses to self-antigens and are key targets in cancer immunotherapy. Both pathways are connected via a cis interaction between CD80 and PD-L1, the ligands for CTLA-4 and PD-1 respectively. This cis interaction prevents PD-1 binding to PD-L1 but is reversed by CTLA-4 trans-endocytosis of CD80. However, the mechanism by which CTLA-4 selectively removes CD80 but not PD-L1 is unclear. Here we show that CTLA-4 - CD80 interactions are unimpeded by PD-L1 and that CTLA-4 binding with CD80 does not displace PD-L1 per se. Rather, both the rigidity and bivalency of the WT CTLA-4 molecule is required to orientate CD80 such that PD-L1 interactions are no longer permissible. Moreover, soluble CTLA-4 released PD-L1 only at specific expression levels of CD80 and PD-L1, whereas CTLA-4 trans-endocytosis released PD-L1 in all conditions. These data show that PD-L1 release from CD80 is driven by biophysical factors associated with orientation and bivalent cross-linking of proteins in the cell membrane and that trans-endocytosis of CD80 efficiently promotes PD-L1 availability.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
