Modulation of the Major Histocompatibility Complex Class II–Associated Peptide Repertoire by Human Histocompatibility Leukocyte Antigen (Hla)-Do
Antigen presentation by major histocompatibility complex class II molecules is essential for antibody production and T cell activation. For most class II alleles, peptide binding depends on the catalytic action of human histocompatibility leukocyte antigens (HLA)-DM. HLA-DO is selectively expressed in B cells and impedes the activity of DM, yet its physiological role remains unclear. Cell surfa...
متن کاملA conformational change in the human major histocompatibility complex protein HLA-DR1 induced by peptide binding.
To investigate a conformational change accompanying peptide binding to class II MHC proteins, we probed the structure of a soluble version of the human class II MHC protein HLA-DR1 in empty and peptide-loaded forms. Peptide binding induced a large decrease in the effective radius of the protein as determined by gel filtration, dynamic light scattering, and analytical ultracentrifugation. It cau...
متن کاملDifferential peptide dynamics is linked to major histocompatibility complex polymorphism.
Peptide presentation by major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules is of central importance for immune responses, which are triggered through recognition of peptide-loaded MHC molecules (pMHC) by cellular ligands such as T-cell receptors (TCR). However, a unifying link between structural features of pMHC and cellular responses has not been established. Instead, pMHC/TCR binding studies su...
متن کاملPrecise prediction of major histocompatibility complex class II-peptide interaction based on peptide side chain scanning
We describe here a new method for predicting class II major histocompatibility complex-binding peptides, based on the preferences observed in a systematic series of peptide binding experiments where each position in a "minimal" peptide was replaced individually by every amino acid. The DRB1*0401 peptide binding preferences were determined and incorporated into a computer program that looks thro...
متن کاملDeterminants of the peptide-induced conformational change in the human class II major histocompatibility complex protein HLA-DR1.
The human class II major histocompatibility complex protein HLA-DR1 has been shown previously to undergo a distinct conformational change from an open to a compact form upon binding peptide. To investigate the role of peptide in triggering the conformational change, the minimal requirements for inducing the compact conformation were determined. Peptides as short as two and four residues, which ...
