T cell receptor (TCR) clustering and formation of an immune synapse are crucial for TCR signaling. However, limited information is available about these dynamic assemblies and their connection to transmembrane signaling. In this work, TCR clustering is controlled via plug-and-play nanotools based on an engineered irreversible conjugation pair and a peptide-loaded major histocompatibility complex (pMHC) molecule to compare receptor assembly in a ligand (pMHC)-induced or ligand-independent manner. A streptavidin-binding peptide displayed in both tools enabled their anchoring in streptavidin-pre-structured matrices. Strikingly, pMHC-induced clustering in the confined regions exhibit higher density and dynamics than the ligand-free approach, indicating that the size and architecture of the pMHC ligand influences TCR assembly. This approach enables the control of membrane receptor clustering with high specificity and provides the possibility to explore different modalities of receptor activation
